沃克印第安意识的文本在场与研究缺场——兼评国内外沃克研究

On Text Presence and Research Absence of Alice Walker's Indian Consciousness: Based on Studies of Alice Walkerat Home & Abroad

艾丽丝·沃克是当代美国文坛最具影响力的作家之一。她在访谈和自传体散文中多次提及自己的印第安意识,并在作品,尤其小说中进行呈现。然而国内外学界多将沃克的作品置于美国黑人、女性文学的视域内进行研究,并赋予沃克及其作品以"妇女主义"的标签,忽略了沃克的印第安意识对其本人精神及创作产生的影响。事实上,沃克的印第安意识与其妇女主义思想共同构筑了沃克的精神世界,形塑了沃克的书写模式。

As one of the foremost contemporary writers in American literature, Alice Walker speaks of her A- merican Indian consciousness in her interviews and autobiographical essays, which is frequently illuminated in much of her published works, especially in her fictions. However, most of the foreign and domestic critics re- strained their researches on Alice Walker within the frame of the black female literature and labeled Alice Walker and her works as ＂womanist＂ and ＂womanist works＂, neglecting the influence of her Indian con- sciousness on her spirits and writings. It is believed that Alice Walker＇s Indian consciousness along with wom- anist thoughts constructs Alice Walker＇s spiritual world and shapes her writing patterns.
