非裔美国小说不可靠叙述与泛互文性研究

A Study on Unreliable Narration and Pan Intertextuality in African-American Novels

不可靠叙述是叙事学研究的核心论题之一。它多视角展现作者与叙述者叙事意图,采取各种艺术技巧,重构叙事文本阐释的多元意蕴,直接影响读者多重反应,并重视读者的价值审美观,以增强文本的叙事效果。本研究运用詹姆斯·费伦的不可靠叙述策略,分析多部非裔美国经典小说中阐述的美国奴隶制社会至废除奴隶制之后,仍存在的种族、性别歧视痼疾,并致黑人族群遭受悲惨命运与精神创伤,探寻作者创设的黑人追求爱与自由平等、超越自我的蜕变轨迹;诠释读者对文本中各族群众和谐互爱、携手憧憬后种族主义美好未来的赞美之情。与此同时,研究者注重小说叙事的文化表征性,并发掘各文本的文化语境与泛互文性特征。进而,拓展与彰显非裔美国小说在促进社会进步发展中的重要现实意义。
