【摘要】：作为获得诺贝尔文学奖的第一位美国黑人女作家，托尼·莫里森在美国文学领域占有重要地位。《天堂》探讨了对黑人封闭自我的担忧，对可能的黑人种族主义的警惕，以及黑人必然从排斥走向融合的信念；《一点慈悲》描述了北美殖民地初期蓄奴制对黑人、印第安土著等各类奴隶的伤害。本文试图以凯西·卡露丝，凯·埃里克松与茱蒂·赫曼等学者的创伤理论为支撑，通过分析比较小说《天堂》和《一点慈悲》，，探讨莫里森小说中对家园的追寻问题。第一章为绪论，首先简要介绍托尼·莫里森的生平及其文学成就，小说《天堂》和《一点慈悲》的故事梗概；其次对两部小说的研究成果进行梳理；最后阐述了创伤理论及本文各章主要论点。第二、三、四章为论文的主体部分。第二章分析小说人物遭受的多种形式的创伤，并探讨相似的创伤经历如何成为其构建具有保护性质的地域空间以躲避伤害的重要纽带。第三章分析创伤记忆的持续及残酷性成为小说人物走出创伤的障碍，随之产生的扭曲历史、铲除异己、道德沦丧及依赖他人等症状使得创伤之屋经历异化，保护及关爱的初衷不复存在。第四章阐明走出创伤为受伤者摆脱心理束缚、破除创伤之屋、构建开放包容家园提供了可能。第五章总结了前文对于《天堂》和《一点慈悲》的创伤分析，指出莫里森在两部小说中共同触及的家园追寻主题；认为破除创伤禁锢、释放心理包袱为建立开放和谐的家园创造了可能，并为构建多元包容的美国国家带来启发。论文希望通过对《天堂》和《一点慈悲》的创伤解读，使读者更好地理解莫里森小说中理想家园的构建问题，为研究其他探寻家园主题的文学作品起到抛砖引玉的作用。
[Abstract]:As the first black American writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, Tony Morrison plays an important role in American literature. The vigilance against possible black racism and the belief that blacks must move from exclusion to integration; "A little mercy" describes the damage caused by slavery in the early days of the North American colonies to various types of slaves, such as blacks, Native Americans, and so on. Based on the trauma theory of Kaye Ericsson and Judy Herman, this paper explores the pursuit of home in Morrison's novels by analyzing and comparing the novel Paradise and a little mercy. The first chapter is an introduction, which begins with a brief introduction to Tony Morrison's life and his literary achievements, the story of the novel Paradise and the Story of a bit of Mercy; Secondly, combing the research results of the two novels; Chapter two, chapter three and chapter four are the main parts of the thesis. The second chapter analyzes the various forms of trauma suffered by the characters of the novel. It also discusses how similar traumatic experiences become an important link to construct a protective regional space to avoid injury. Chapter three analyzes that the persistence and cruelty of traumatic memory become the obstacle for the characters to get out of the trauma. The resulting distortions of history, the eradication of dissent, the loss of morality and dependence on others have alienated the experience of the House of Trauma. The original purpose of protection and care no longer exists. Chapter 4th states that getting out of the trauma will free the injured from psychological bondage and destroy the traumatic house. Building an open and inclusive home offers the possibility. Chapter 5th summarizes the trauma analysis of Paradise and a little mercy, and points out the theme of home pursuit that Morrison touches on in both novels; It is believed that breaking the traumatic confinement and releasing the psychological burden create the possibility for the establishment of an open and harmonious home. The thesis hopes to make readers better understand the construction of the ideal homeland in Morrison's novels through the traumatic interpretation of Paradise and a little mercy. In order to explore the theme of other literary works play a role.
