【摘要】：艾丽斯·沃克是当代美国最具影响力的黑人女作家之一。以小说创作著称,同时还写诗、短篇小说、散文和自传。她的作品大多集中表现非裔美国,尤其是南方乡村的黑人妇女的视角与生活,同时注重展现十九世纪奴隶叙事和黑人民间传说的影响以及口述故事的文化。代表作品《紫色》通过描述美国南方农村一个普通黑人妇女西莉从麻木不仁到自我意识觉醒的故事,细腻刻画了西莉成长变化的心路里程,深刻揭示了美国黑人女性在遭受多重压迫下的悲惨生存现状。本文旨在对这部小说进行一个全面的叙事特征的研究,以对小说的写作特色和作者写作意图和思想有一个更深刻的理解。第一章首先是追溯书信体文体写作的概念与由来,并从双重叙事视角,即沃克对第一人称与第三人称叙事模式的运用。本章指出,沃克在《紫色》中,除了依照传统方式以第一人称叙事进行人物塑造之外,还用到第三人称叙事,丰富了叙述对象,弥补了第一人称叙述的不足,扩大了小说的叙事范围。同时使书信体小说叙述特征中的独白性与对话性得到强调与突出。第二章则是探讨沃克对书信体小说奴隶叙事模式的运用以及叙事结构。主要通过分析小说中的上帝形象的变化,从而发现艾丽斯·沃克在写作策略上的独具匠心与大胆创新。《紫色》中主人公西莉的故事与许多奴隶叙事作品一样符合奴隶叙事的模式,在《紫色》中得到了很好的体现。还有沃克创作中的“百衲被”叙事结构,都为小说增添了许多艺术特色。第三章分析该小说的叙事语言与线索。主要是通过分析作品中独特的叙事语言和多重线索两个方面来展现。沃克在叙事语言上运用了黑人方言土语使小说的艺术特色更为突出,多重线索的运用使得小说在情节上更吸引读者,同时也巧妙传达出作者的写作意图和思想。通过对这部小说叙事特征的研究,我们可以发现作为黑人妇女的代言人和挑战禁忌的勇土的沃克,是如何巧妙安排叙事以突出小说主题,增添写作特色,使作品深入人心。
