《藩篱》中的空间和非裔女性主体性研究

A Study of Space and African American Women’s Subjectivity in Fences

奥古斯特·威尔逊的《藩篱》一剧表现了罗丝等非裔女性遭受主流社会排挤,还面临着来自家庭内部的压迫。结合苏贾的第三空间和列斐伏尔的空间生产概念对非裔女性和空间的关系进行分析,可以对剧中的社会空间和特洛伊家庭内部空间所衬托的花园这一另类的第三空间进行进一步研究。第三空间不仅是非裔女性作为“他者”的他者建立自身主体性的最佳场所,也是向下一代进行言说和教育的布道台。

Fences written by August Wilson describes how Rose and other African American woman live with double oppression from both the mainstream society and the inner family sphere. Combining with Edward Soja’s notion of third space and Lefevre’s notion of the production of space, this article digs out the connection between space and African American women, as well as the meaning of garden as a third space compared with social space and The Troys’ inner family space. Garden is not only the best spot to build subjectivity of African American women, the “Other’s other”, it also serves as a pulpit to speak to and to teach a lesson to the next generation.
