建构“第三空间”的非裔美国女性漫游者——解读内拉·拉森的《流沙》

African-American Flaneuse Who Constructed“Third Space”:An Interpretation of Nella Larsen’s Quicksand

《流沙》中赫尔加·克兰的混血身份为她建构了一个游走于白人与黑人世界的"第三空间",并成为她逾越地理阀限和不断流动的前提与可能。本文以哈莱姆文艺复兴时期的非裔美国女性为研究对象,考察黑人女性在城市漫游中离开与进入社区和地方之间的流动可能性,揭示美国城市化进程中黑人女性通过建构"第三空间"以适应既定的城市空间秩序,并通过越界与行动突破性别和种族空间的禁锢,从而参与了美国城市的种族空间生产与跨国空间生产。

In Quicksand,Helga Crane’s mulatto identity constructs a"third space"for her to live between the white and black worlds,and it becomes the premise and possibility for her to transcend the geographical threshold and roam constantly.Taking African-American women in Harlem Renaissance as the research object,the paper aims to examine the possibilities of black flaneuse leaving where they roam and entering communities and places,and to reveal the American black women constructing the"third space"in the process of urbanization to adapt to the existing urban spatial order,and breaking through the restriction of gender and racial space through transboundary and action,thus participating in the racial space production in American cities and transnational space production..
