摘要
托妮·莫里森在其小说中着力构建强大的母性空间。这一空间不仅如子宫般提供各种滋养,更以其能动性成为孩子获得自我的必经之途。本文以克里斯蒂娃的母性空间理论为切入点从三个方面对莫里森的母性书写进行讨论,即对母亲的寻找、作为空间存在的母亲以及在母性空间中找到对自己的爱从而获得自我的孩子,并对母性空间如何成为主体生成的力量之源进行讨论。
Toni Morrison has made many efforts to construct a powerful maternal space, which not only works as the womb providing nutrition, but also becomes the central space for children to fi nd their selves. This paper, employing Kristeva's theories on maternal space, discusses Morrison's writings on motherhood from three aspects: children's search for mothers; mother's existence as space; children's self-discovery in maternal space as the result of fulfi lling their narcissistic desire. Meanwhile, how maternal space becomes the powerful source for the birth of subjects will also be discussed.
