【摘要】：《爵士乐》是非裔美国著名女作家托尼·莫里森描绘美国黑人百年历史画卷的第二部力作。本部小说发表于1992年,次年莫里森就被授予诺贝尔文学奖。《纽约时报书评》对这本小说给予了高度评价,称它为一本卓越而令人惊叹的小说,是美国文学史上的重要里程碑。小说借助于爵士乐即兴演奏的方式展开叙述并推动故事情节的发展,令读者读来犹如置身于上个世纪20年代纽约哈莱姆区爵士乐师即兴演奏的美妙旋律之中。这部后现代主义的杰作,已成为美国文学史上的不朽名篇。本论文力图借助于喻指理论对《爵士乐》进行系统性分析,以便深刻地解读作者所使用的艺术表现手法及其借艺术表现手法所传达的主题思想。长期以来,学界对于托尼.莫里森的研究大多集中在《最蓝的眼睛》《秀啦》和《所罗门之歌》,研究《爵士乐》的人相对较少。特别是之前对《爵士乐》的研究多从欧美比较文学、叙事策略、后殖民主义、心理分析或女性意识等视角来探究,很少采用喻指性分析。故本论文研究拟从喻指性分析的角度对《爵士乐》进行一些新的探索,以探究借用喻指理论分析文学作品的可能性和拓宽研究的领域及范围。喻指理论是非裔美国著名文学评论家小亨利.路易斯.盖茨采用西方现代语言学及符号学理论来研究非裔美国文化传统时提出来的。他的喻指理论是介于语言学分析和文化分析之间的一种具有高度包容性的文学理论。喻指理论的提出为研究者提供了一种独特的阐释非裔美国文学的方法论和新视角,借助于喻指理论有利于更为深刻地剖析作品中非裔美国人的文化和心理世界。在非裔美国文学作品中,喻指特征主要通过语言的喻指、意象的喻指和文本的喻指来反映作品所隐含的主题。本研究拟从语言运用、意象分析和互文性等三个方面对《爵士乐》进行解读,以期对这本小说所揭示的主题意义获得一个新的更为深入的理解,并为鉴赏莫里森的作品提供一个独特的视角。笔者最后指出：这本小说通过运用非洲传统的喻指有效描写方法,深刻地反映出作者对非裔美国人的物质世界和心理世界的理解以及对其生存状况的关注。作者以小说的形式呼吁黑人传统文化的归回、寻求自我身份的实现以及民族情结的诉求。莫里森的运用有效的喻指手法,反映了黑人传统文化对黑人民族、尤其是处在美国白人主流文化压抑下的黑人族群的重要性,指出认同黑人传统文化有助于黑人自我身份的积极建构和个人归属感的维持。除此之外,莫里森的描写艺术还体现了她高度重视家庭关系,以及社区关系对个人乃至整个民族发展的重大影响。她的充满传统比喻描写的美妙旋律中所包含着的人类之爱,启迪人们的交流和理解,这就是有效的文学描写手法对作者主题揭示的现实意义,值得我们深入探究。
[Abstract]:"Jazz" is the second masterpiece of the famous African-American writer Tony Morrison, who depicts the 100-year history of black Americans. The main novel was published in 1992. The following year Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The New York Times Book Review highly praised the novel as a remarkable and amazing novel. It is an important milestone in the history of American literature. With the help of jazz improvisation, the novel begins to narrate and promote the development of storylines. Read as if you were in the midst of an impromptu melody played by jazz musicians in Harlem, New York, in -80s. This postmodernist masterpiece, Jazz has become an immortal work in the history of American literature. This paper tries to make a systematic analysis of Jazz by means of metaphorical theory. In order to profoundly interpret the artistic expression techniques used by the author and the main ideas conveyed by the artistic expression techniques. For a long time, Academic research on Tony Morrison has mostly focused on "the Bluest eyes" and "Song of Solomon". There are relatively few people studying "Jazz", especially in the previous studies of Jazz from European and American comparative literature. Narrative strategies, post-colonialism, psychoanalysis or female consciousness are rarely explored from the perspective of metaphorical analysis, so this paper intends to explore Jazz from the perspective of metaphorical analysis. To explore the possibility of using metaphor theory to analyze literary works and broaden the field and scope of research. The metaphorical theory was put forward by Henry Louis Gates Jr., a famous African-American literary critic, when he used modern western linguistics and semiotics to study African-American cultural tradition. His metaphorical theory is somewhere between language and language. A highly inclusive literary theory between academic analysis and cultural analysis. The presentation of metaphorical theory provides researchers with a unique methodology and a new perspective for the interpretation of African-American literature. The help of metaphorical theory is conducive to a deeper analysis of the cultural and psychological world of African-American works. In African-American literature, metaphorical features are mainly characterized by linguistic metaphors. The metaphorical reference of image and the metaphorical reference of text reflect the implied theme of the work. This study attempts to interpret Jazz from three aspects: language use, image analysis and intertextuality. The purpose is to gain a new and deeper understanding of the significance of the theme revealed in the novel and to provide a unique perspective for the appreciation of Morrison's works. Finally, the author points out that this novel uses the African traditional metaphorical method to describe effectively. Profoundly reflecting the author's understanding of the material and psychological worlds of African-Americans and his concern for their living conditions. In the form of novels, the author calls for the return of traditional black culture. To seek the realization of self-identity and the appeal of national complex. Morrison's use of effective metaphor reflects the importance of black traditional culture to the black people, especially the black people who are suppressed by the mainstream American white culture. It is pointed out that the recognition of black traditional culture is helpful to the positive construction of black self-identity and the maintenance of personal sense of belonging. In addition, Morrison's descriptive art also shows that she attaches great importance to family relations. And the great impact of community relations on the development of the individual and of the nation as a whole. Her wonderful melody, full of traditional metaphors, contains human love and enlightens people's communication and understanding. This is the practical significance of effective literary description to the theme of the author.
