A Ritual Perspective on Juneteenth

仪式视角是深入理解埃里森的《六月庆典》必不可少的分析范畴。通过运用过渡仪式这一分析模式,来探讨小说中的仪式习俗和内涵,阐明埃里森对西方黑白二元对立神话、仪式的解构;对当时社会流行的、从社会科学的立场来解决黑人问题所持的异议进行分析;对过渡仪式在小说中的文学演绎予以诠释,以期帮助读者展开对美国极端种族主义者的立场和美国理性文化的深刻反思。

The ritual perspective is an indispensable scope of the analysis of further comprehending Ralph Ellison＇s Juneteenth.By applying the analytical model of the rites of passage,the paper mainly explores the rich and deep connotation of rites and convention,discusses Ralph Ellison＇s anatomy of black/ white binary opposition in Western myth and rites,analyses the dissenting opinions on dealing with the problems of black people from the standpoint of social science,which were very prevalent at the time and interprets the rites of passage and their literature evolution in the novel,so as to help readers to rethink profoundly the position of American extreme racists and American rational culture.
