在诗韵中解放自我——非裔美国女诗人对黑人妇女身份的解读与重构评析

Liberating Themselves in Poetic Rhymes:On How Afro-American Women Poets Interpret and Re-construct Black Women's Identities

诗歌是美国黑人族群表达心声的特质符号。在文章所析作品中,美国非裔女诗人从女性的视角剖析了黑人妇女勤劳坚韧的品质、无限矮化的社会身份和她们在维系本民族生存发展上无可替代的地位。通过对黑人妇女真实形象的勾勒,诗人旨在消解主流社会对她们身份的负面定势,帮助她们尽早实现身份重构。结合"身份"理论,文章着力分析诗歌这一艺术手段在黑人妇女解读和重构身份过程中的独特作用。

For African Americans,poem is a unique way to express their inner minds.In the poems analyzed in this paper,from women's perspective,Afro-American women poets interpret black women's diligence and persistence,extremely marginalized social identities,and their vital role in maintaining the developments of black nation.Through depicting the true images of black women,the poets aim at dissolving their negative stereotypes in mainstream society so that they can re-construct their identities as soon as possible.Based on identity theory,this paper demonstrates that,as an artistic means,poem owns distinctive powers to interpret and re-construct black women's identities.
