托尼·莫里森小说《家园》叙事的空间解读

On Narrative Space in Toni Morrison′s Home

托尼·莫里森在小说《家园》中,通过生存空间、心理空间、社会空间(宗教和权力),反映了黑人生存空间的狭小、主人公弗兰克和妹妹茜成长和经历中纠结的心理表征,以及社会空间中宗教与权力对黑人生活的影响。深入阐析多元空间叙事,清晰呈现《家园》的空间叙事特征,以此帮助读者深刻理解小说主题,即探讨黑人生活的现实艰难、黑人寻求自我的过程、黑人文化的回归以及黑人重返家园的博弈。《家园》描绘的并不是一般意义上的现实,而是深层次探讨美国黑人社会与文化发展的趋势。

By narrative means of physical living space,psychological space,social space（religion and power）,Toni Morrison depicts the narrow living space for African-Americans,the entangled psychological representative of the main characters Money Frank and his little sister Cee in their growingups,and the impacts what have made on African-Americans in social space religiously and powerfully.The multi-dimensional analysis of Home could show its narrative characteristics so as to lead readers to profoundly understand the theme,which is to discuss African-Americans living hard and seriously,to describe how they seek for their egos,to paint how they embrace original culture and how to fight for coming backing to ＂home＂ .According to the elucidation above,it is found that Hometakes much ink to deeply explicate the developing trend of the society and culture for African-Americans,rather than give a common realistic reflection.
