《秀拉》与《他们眼望上苍》的互文性书写

The Intertextuality in Sula and Their Eyes Were Watching God

佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿和托妮·莫里森是20世纪两位重要的美国非裔女作家,《他们眼望上苍》和《秀拉》分别为她们的代表作。这两部作品在黑人女性写作上有着互文性和传承性。两部作品的主人公都出生在女性权威家族中,并获得前辈女性的人生经验,在女性间的同辈情谊上也存在着写作经验的继承和发展;对于婚姻,两部作品同样存在着对传统家庭婚姻的叛逆和蔑视,即对于传统婚姻的解构。这些无不体现着美国非裔女作家对前辈的继承和回应,进一步拓宽了黑人女性中心的叙述模式。

Zora Nearl Hurston and Toni Morrison are two important Afro-American female writers of the 20th century. Their Eyes Were Watching God and Sula are their masterpieces. The two works have an inheritanee and intertextuality in the black women＇s writing. The heroines in two works were both born in the family of female authority, and they both win life experience from the senior women. And there is the inheritance and development of writing experience in peer friendship between black women; there also ex- ists rebellion and contempt for marriage and deconstruction on the traditional family and marriage in the two works. These all reflect the female writers＇ inheritance to predecessors and develop the narrative mode of black women.
