《宠儿》中的后现代叙事策略

Postmodernist Narrative Strategies in Beloved

美国黑人女作家托尼·莫里森在创作中汲取和继承了黑人文化传统,将神话传说、民间故事、宗教信仰等与政治、历史、文化有机结合起来,以犀利的笔触影射种族歧视,弘扬黑人文化。莫里森在小说《宠儿》中打破了传统文学的完整性、有序性、逻辑性等特点,运用碎片式拼贴、复调、内心独白与意识流、魔幻现实主义等后现代叙述手法揭示了蓄奴制对黑人心灵的戕害,展现出处于民族和性别双重压迫下的黑人女性生存困境,重构了荒诞、扭曲、病态社会现实中真实的黑人历史。

Black American female writer Toni Morrison has inherited the tradition of the black culture and put myths, legends, folktales and religious belief under the background of the politics, history and culture in order to reflect racial discrimination and carry forward the black culture. In Beloved, she undermines features of traditional literature, such as integrity, order and logic, and applies narrative strategy of postmodernism, such as collage, polyphony, monologue, stream of consciousness and magic realism, to reveal the harm that slavery has done to the black and the predicament of the black women under double oppression. A real history of the black in an absurd, distorted and sick society has thus teen reconstructed.
