黑人性神话与他者身份的建构及其解构——从《土生子》中的跨种族性关系谈起

On Construction and Deconstruction of Black Sex Myth and Otherness Based on the Interracial sex in Native Son

理查德.赖特的代表作《土生子》被誉为美国黑人文学史上的里程碑式作品、"抗议小说"的扛鼎之作,因此学界针对《土生子》的研究多集中于黑白二元对立上,着重探讨的是美国社会制度和种族歧视对美国黑人心灵的戕害及其灾难性后果。在此基础上,本文尝试采用新的视角,以跨种族性关系为切入点,重新审视小说主人公别格的悲剧成因,并且通过分析书中白人如何利用虚假的黑人"性神话"构建黑人的他者身份,揭示别格杀害白人姑娘玛丽的讽刺性寓意,彰显"抗议小说之父"赖特解构黑人"性神话"的创作智慧。

Native Son,masterpiece of Richard Wright,was known as a milestone in history of African American Literature.The research on Native Son focused on the relationship between white and black people and how the social system and racial discrimination bringing heart destruction and disastrous consequences to the black people.This paper tries to use the new vision,with interracial sex as the breakthrough point,to re-examine the tragedy of the protagonist in the novel and reveal the satire meaning of Bigger＇s killing the white girl by the analysis of how the white in the book used the false black ＂sexual myths＂ to construct the black his identity and demonstrate Wright＇s wisdom in the deconstruction of the black ＂sexual myths＂.
