“他者”与黑人女性主体意识建构探析

On Mirror Theory and the Construction of Black Women's Self-identity

种族、性别和白人主流文化的压迫让美国非裔黑人女性遭受了从肉体到精神的多重折磨,她们面临身份认知的困惑。运用拉康的镜像理论,通过对"他者"的借鉴与反思,分析了《他们仰望上苍》和《紫颜色》中女主人公主体意识建构的过程,从一个全新的角度呈现了黑人女性自我意识的苏醒和对自由的追求,揭示出小说文本深刻的社会与文化内涵,以及作者对全体黑人女性获得发展的殷切希望。

The race, gender, and the oppression of white mainstream culture make African black women suffer torture from physical to mental. They face identity cognitive confusion. By applicating Lacan＇s Mirror Theory, the process of the heroines＇ self-identity construction in the novels ＂Their Eyes Were Watching God＂ and ＂The Color Purple＂ is analyzed from the view of reference and reflection to the ＂other＂. From a new different point of view, the awakening sense of self-consciousness and the desire for freedom are revealed, as well as the novels＇ social and cultural connotation and the authors＇ earnest hope for all black women to obtain life development.
