摘要
本文以美国非裔作家科尔森·怀特黑德的新作《地下铁道》为个案,聚焦于文本的创伤解读,运用创伤理论分析怀特黑德如何通过创伤叙事手段来揭露奴隶制度对个人乃至整个非裔少数民族造成的创伤和苦难。指出作品对"美国梦"进行了反讽,体现了当代知识分子对美国黑奴历史和种族问题"旧伤"以及人权平等的全面反思。
This paper focuses on the African-American writer Colson Whitehead's new novel The Underground Railroad. With insights from trauma theory, the present paper illuminates how Whitehead exposes the trauma and wounds imposed by slavery on the individual and the whole marginalized groups. It is argued that the work satirizes the American dream and articulates the contemporary intellectual's concerns on the history of American black slaves, race issues and human equality.
