身体界域外的黑人女性

Black Women Beyond Body Boundary

身体和精神是二元对立的关系,女性身体被贬损的历史是漫长的。朱迪斯·巴特勒等女性主义者发现身体遭受的污名来自于身体的性别分类,女性的身体总是被建构为生育的物质,因而被边缘化。话语在界定性别的时候,规定了性别化身体的内涵,并形成性别的界域,当主体不符合性别规范时,就会受到嫌恶,被剥夺合法性,从而失去身体的资格,这种界域具有某种规范力,甚至是暴力。以美国女性作家托尼·莫里森的三部小说为例,从梳理作品中被羞辱、被嫌恶的黑人妇女入手,来揭示黑人妇女低微的社会地位,进而重构"值得保护的生命、值得挽救的生命、值得悼念的生命"。

The unproper cognition that body and spirit is birnary is in accordance with the long history of female body being derogated.The femalist,Judith Butler,finds that the stigma of body is derived from the sex classification of body and the female body has always been constructed as the material for bearing and so is marginalized.In the definition of sex,the discourse defines the contents of sexualized body and forms a boundary of sex.When itt is unconfromable to the regulations of sex,a subject is bound to be detested and even deprived from its suitability and so the identity of a body is lost.The boundary is of normative force and even violence.The paper discusses the black women in the three novels by Toni Morrison,American femalist writer.They are humiliated and detested,which shows their lower social status.The life should be recontructed to be protected,saved and mourned.
