摘要
奇卡纳精神性是一种混血精神性,其中既包含天主教元素,也包含印第安土著宗教,即"通俗宗教"元素。此外,作为有色人种女性的精神性,奇卡纳精神性中还包含"通俗崇高"。美国奇卡纳作家丹尼斯·查维兹将自己对奇卡纳精神性的理解诉诸小说《天使的面孔》中。书中不仅有对天主教及"通俗宗教"符号及实践的展示,更有对"通俗崇高"的深刻阐释。女性人物通过自己精湛的服务性工作而获得精神和道德上的优越和崇高,这正是"通俗崇高"的表现,也是奇卡纳精神性的核心所在。
Chicana spirituality is a kind of"mestizaje"spirituality.It consists of the components of Catholicism and traditional Indian religions,namely,"popular religion".In addition,as the colored women’s spirituality,Chicana spirituality also includes"popular sublime".American Chicana writer Denise Chávez elucidates her understanding of Chicana spirituality through her novel Face of an Angel,in which there are not only depictions of the symbols and practices in Catholicism and native religions,but also profound interpretations of"popular sublime".The female characters acquire spiritual and moral superiority and sublime through their extraordinary serving work,which is the demonstration of"popular sublime"and the core of Chicana spirituality.
