Celie’s “Body Salvation” in The Color Purple

导出

摘要艾丽丝·沃克的《紫色》为我们展示了置于双重边缘地位的黑人女性的盲目跌撞、身体残损、迷乱痛苦、生命力被滥用的生活境遇。在权力规训与暴力的压迫下,她们的身体,成为驯服的听话的身体,被彻底物化为劳动的机器,供男人使用的工具。茜莉正是这些失去自我的南方黑人女性的代表。长期奴隶般的劳作,使她模糊了自己的女性意识。莎格让茜莉第一次认识并懂得欣赏自己的身体,并发现其女性身体的妙曼,开始了认识自我的征程。茜莉通过认识身体读懂了人的生命本质,追求与构建了自己生命的完美,从而完成变被动为主动、变客体为主体的救赎过程。《紫色》的身体叙述不仅反映了美国南方的伦理、文化与宗教观念,也是沃克苦难经历的折射,同时也体现了沃克身体修辞策略背后的文化诗学。 The Color Purple by Alice Walker shows us the double marginalization of black women who are living blindly, damagedly and painfully. Disciplined and oppressed, their body becomes absolutely the tamed and materialized machine for labor and for men. Celie is the very representative. Long-term slave-like labor has blurred her woman’s consciousness. It is Shug who teaches Celie to appreciate her own body and find out the beauty of female body, which is the starting point of the journey of Celie’s self-awareness. Through reading body, Celie begins to understand the nature of human life and to build her life, and finally completes the process of the salvation. Body narration in The Color Purple not only reflects the ethics, culture and religion in Southern America and Walker’s sufferings, but also embodies Walker’s cultural poetics.
