流动的性相与身份的确立——酷读《紫色》

Flexible Sexuality and the Establishment of Identity

以朱迪斯·巴特勒肇始创立的酷儿理论,其消解人类性/别二元对立的主张,较好地诠释了艾丽丝·沃克在《紫色》中塑造的三位黑人女性的流动的性相,有助于深入理解作品对黑人女性性态的描写,揭露异性恋男权体制对黑人妇女的压迫的思想。酷读作品,为我们展示了黑人女性处于主流文化的边缘的边缘,为了生存,她们相互团结,结成牢固的友谊,最后走出了传统的桎梏,确立了身份,建立了新的、和谐的人际关系的艰难而曲折的图景。

The essential idea of queer theory created by Judith Butler is deconstructing the dichotomy of gender and sexuality,it helps to explain and understand three black females’flexible sexuality and the sexual description in Alice walker’s novel Color Purple,and also exposes the oppression of heterosexual hegemony to black women.Studying Color Purple with the queer theory brings to light that the black females are on the border of the fringe margin rim of the main society.In order to survive,they have to help each other,unite together and form the profound friendship,at last,break up the shackles of the tradition,and establish their new identity and harmonious relationship in the black society.
