解读《宠儿》中的族性边界及美国非裔族性身份重构

Ethnic Boundary and African-American Identity Reconstruction in "Beloved"

托尼·莫里森在《宠儿》中对美国蓄奴制时期黑人的惨痛历史进行了揭露与重现,该作品除对美国种族问题进行剖析之外,同时亦蕴含美国非裔族群在白人主流文化下的身份建构问题。结合族性边界理论,即族性在不同族群互动及对比中凸显的动态观点来深入分析该作品的多重主题,进而探讨美国非裔族群在与白人族群的冲突与抗争中如何自处与定位。这既体现了莫里森对黑人文化塑造与非裔族群身份的重构的愿望,又对当今多元文化视角下不同族群如何权衡交流融合与个性伸张有一定的借鉴意义。

The paper suggests the ethnic issues and the reconstructionof African-American identity in American white mainstreamculture, which is on the perspective of ethnicity instead ofracism, on talking about Tony Morrison＇s ＂Beloved＂. Combinedwith Werner Sollors＇s idea that ethnicity is typically based on acontrast, this paper goes beneath of the idea that Morrison wantsAfrican-American to insist on black culture in confronting withwhite ethnic group by writing this novel, which is also meaningfulto think about ethnicity under the perspective of the present multi-culture society.
