摘要
圣诗(被奴役的非裔美国人在南方种植园工作过程中创作的诗歌)很少被归入抒情诗的范畴;与此同时,其作为非裔美国诗歌传统之源泉的重要价值常被忽略。尽管如此,圣诗对现当代非裔美国诗歌却有着广泛影响,因此对圣诗在非裔美国诗歌中地位和对非裔美国经典诗歌涵盖范围的再研究显得尤为重要。在聚焦圣诗典故和引用模式的基础上,本文指出被奴役的非裔美国人所创作的诗歌种类繁多且形式上颇具创新。究其本质,非裔美国诗歌源自大量流散文本;在写作手法和动机等方面,这些文本与先锋派诗歌创作实践整合在一起。
The spirituals—the verses created by enslaved African Americans on Southern plantations—are rarely categorized as lyric poetry, and often overlooked as foundational sources of the African American poetry tradition. Yet their influence on modern and contemporary African American poetry is pervasive, which calls for a reexamination of their place in African American poetry, and of the scope of the African American poetry canon itself. Based on the pattern of allusions and citations of spirituals, this fresh focus also offers an opportunity to recognize that the poems created by enslaved African Americans are more diverse and formally innovative than is often recognized. As a result, the origins of African American poetry are shown to be rooted in a body of diasporic texts that is integrally connected to methods and motives associated with avantgarde practice.
