创伤记忆中的历史书写——《爵士乐》中的新奴隶叙述研究

The Historical Writings of Traumatic Memories——A Study of the Neo-slave Narrative of Jazz

新奴隶叙述以在文本中指涉奴隶制时代以及后奴隶制时代的创伤记忆,重新诠释非裔自身历史,对抗白人历史观、官方话语以及知识权力网络,从而实现族裔身份认同和社群建构。新奴隶叙述文本《爵士乐》将多卡丝构成小说主要人物的"记忆现场"(site of memory),以非裔遭受压制、被遗忘以及边缘化的创伤记忆重建自身历史,形成一股对抗白人官方历史的颠覆性力量,最终将集体的历史与文化记忆凝聚为族裔认同,实现美国非裔主体建构。

With the textual reference to the African-Americans＇traumatic memories in the slavery and post-slavery periods,the Neo-slave narrative aims to reinterpret the history of African-Americans and constitute the counter-narrative against the white-logocentric history as well as the authoritative discourse,thereby realizing the reconstruction of African-American identity and community. The Neo-slave narrative of Jazz sets Dorcas as the ＂site of memory＂,and employs the African-Americans＇repressed,forgotten and even marginalized traumatic memories to rewrite the ethnic history,therefore integrating the collective history and cultural memories into the ethnic identity,and realizing the reconstruction of subjectivity.
