摘要
美国黑人女作家托尼·莫里森在1987年发表的奴隶叙事小说《宠儿》中讲述的是以沉默为主旋律的故事。因为蓄奴的制度化和合法化,暴力被法律确认和保护,黑人奴隶的命运只能是沉寂。笔者试着从文本中描写的"甜蜜之家"奴隶种植园中五个男性奴隶的沉默形象入手,剖析其形象的意义。"沉默"的"言说",打破了话语背景的束缚,让一段被刻意涂写和遗忘的历史大白于天下,这是莫里森在黑人文学中所作的贡献。
Afro-American female writer Toni Morrison narrated a story on silence in her novel Beloved published in 1987.Institutionalization and legalization of American slavery offers legal confirmation and protection to violence,therefore,black slaves' destiny is bound for silence.Starting with five male silence images as described in "Sweet Home" in the novel,I endeavor to analyze the significance of the five silence images.The utterance of "silence" breaks through the bondage of discourse and sheds light on a rewritten and forgotten history—which is a great contribution Morrison has made to black literature.
