【摘要】：印第安口头文化源远流长、内涵丰富，但是口头传播形式的局限性使其面临灭亡的危险。如何在强势的白人文化中继续发展印第安文化成为印第安学者的艰巨任务。1969年，美国印第安作家莫马迪的小说《黎明之屋》获得了普利策文学奖，这次获奖在美国文学界引起巨大轰动，美国印第安文学开始引起人们的广泛关注，如何构建美国印第安文化身份成了保护土著印第安文化的重要内容。莫马迪通过《黎明之屋》中对主人公埃布尔生活经历的描写，分析了印第安年轻人身份困惑的原因，由此试图构建美国印第安文化身份的内容。本论文研究的核心问题是：莫马迪构建的美国土著印第安人的文化身份究竟应该包含哪些实际内容？本文运用创伤理论分析了主人埃布尔产生身份危机的原因，，依据杰弗瑞·亚历山大对文化创伤的定义，发现印第安民族的文化创伤是引起本民族文化身份危机的主要原因。埃布尔通过他人口述的三个土著印第安故事以及返回故乡的经历，最终走出了个人创伤并重构了自己的土著印第安身份。本文认为，《黎明之屋》表达了作家对土地的依恋和对土著印第安传统的认同，这种依恋和认同是构建美国印第安文化身份的重要元素，构建土著印第安民族的文化身份是治愈美国印第安人民族创伤的重要方法。
[Abstract]:Indian oral culture has a long history and rich connotation, but the limitation of oral communication makes it in danger of extinction. How to continue to develop Indian culture in a strong white culture has become an arduous task for Indian scholars. In 1969, American Indian writer Mamadi's novel "House of Dawn" won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. This award caused a great sensation in American literary circles, and American Indian literature began to attract widespread attention. How to construct an American Indian cultural identity has become an important part of the protection of Native Indian culture. Through the description of Abel's life experience in House of Dawn, Momadi analyzes the reasons for the confusion of Indian young people's identity. The core question of this thesis is: what should the cultural identity of Native American Indians consist of? In this paper, we use trauma theory to analyze the causes of the identity crisis of our host, Abel, according to Jeffrey Alexander's definition of cultural trauma. Discovered that the cultural trauma of the Indian nation was the main cause of the crisis of their own cultural identity. The three Native Indian stories spoken by Abel through others and the experience of returning home, In this paper, the author argues that the House of Dawn expresses the writer's attachment to the land and the recognition of the Native Indian tradition. This attachment and identity is an important element in the construction of the American Indian cultural identity, and the construction of the cultural identity of the Native Indian nation is an important method to heal the wounds of the American Indian nation.
