Deconstructing Historical Discourse and Reconstructing Historical Truth——A Study of Morrison's Beloved

导出

摘要莫里森认为艺术家是"最真实的历史学家",在这一点上,她与新历史主义者不谋而合。在《宠儿》中,通过对历史上的玛格丽特·加纳弑婴案多重表述的回应,莫里森一方面对"历史编纂"的真实性提出质疑,奴隶主通过对黑奴话语的剥夺、身体的规训和惩罚,令历史书写沦为权力运作的产物;另一方面,她极力再现历史真实,通过逆转手法的运用,以讲故事的方式建构以女性为主体的日常生活叙事及对黑奴身体的重写,实现通过历史想象重构历史真实的目的。莫里森这种看似矛盾的历史观体现了她对黑人命运的现实关怀。 Morrison considers artists to be the ＂truest of historians＂. This idea coincides with that of the new historians. In Beloved, through responses to multiple representations of the historical case of Margaret Garner＇ s killing of her own daughter, Morrison, on the one hand, questions the authenticity of historiography. According to her, history is the product of power in which the slaves are deprived of discourse, disciplined and punished physically. On the other hand, she strives to recapture the historical truth through the application of reversal, the narration of ordinary women＇ s lives by story-telling and rewriting slaves＇ bodies, with the purpose of reconstructing historic truth through imagination. Morrison＇ s seemingly contradictory views on history betray her concerns for the present fate of the Negro people.
