【摘要】：艾莉丝·沃克是美国黑人女性文学的杰出代表。她的作品题材广泛,内容丰富,主题深刻,大多反映深受社会和黑人男性双重压迫的黑人妇女的爱与恨,热情地歌颂她们顽强的生命力和她们追求自我解放和个性完整的斗争。《外婆的日用家当》讲述的是大城市女孩迪伊回到乡下与母亲、妹妹之间发生的一场冲突,冲突主要围绕着几件日用家当产生。表面上看,这是美国普通黑人家庭内部女性之间的矛盾冲突关系；实际上作者是以此为背景,充分体现黑人与白人之间的种族矛盾和冲突。本文采用独特的视角,运用新历史主义相关理论,探讨《外婆的日用家当》的历史语境。全文共分六章。前两章分别介绍了作家作品、国内外研究动态和本文的理论框架。第三章通过小说中的三位黑人女性,分析了她们折射的历史语境。通过聚焦于《外婆的日用家当》中三位黑人女性的历史文化身份,我们得知小说中黑人文化传统的极端守望者母亲,同时也是独立自主黑人妇女代表；民族文化艺术的寻根者大女儿迪伊,她也是民族斗争的代表;家庭历史遗产继承者小女儿麦姬,同时也是伤痛历史文化的代表。第四章从姓名的更改、非洲语言的使用和对黑人传统饮食以及日用家当的继承几个方面对非裔文化做了历史解析。通过描写被遗忘的非洲文化,作者表达了黑人对主流文化忽视其非洲文化的反抗。第五章分析作品中体现出来的历史文化观念的冲突,这种冲突可被视为历史建构的一种手段,即小说中母亲代表的传统生活与来自民权运动积极分子迪伊带来的新理念的冲击；黑人自身的审美观念受到白人主流文化审美的冲击;和激进的分离主义和非暴力融入主义之间的冲突。第六章是结论部分。本文通过对《外婆的日用家当》的新历史主义解读,指出该作品展示了黑人群众的生活状态和精神世界,揭示了白人占主导地位的美国社会给黑人传统生活带来的巨大冲击,展现了黑人妇女所遭受的苦难,所受到的压迫,以及她们在黑人民权运动和女权主义运动中的奋斗和抗争,体现了艾莉丝·沃克对如何更好地保护非裔文化、发扬黑人运动并在派别冲突下求得统一的思索,和对黑人妇女乃至整个黑人群体在美国社会求得生存发展的途径的探讨。本文的分析也有助于对黑人传统文化和黑人作家更深一层的理解。
[Abstract]:Alice Walker is an outstanding representative of black women's literature in the United States. Her works have a wide range of subjects, rich content and profound themes. Most of her works reflect the love and hate of black women who are both oppressed by society and black men. Enthusiastically eulogize their indomitable vitality and their struggle for self-liberation and personality integrity. "Grandma's Daily use" is about the big city girl Dee returning to the country and a conflict between her mother and sister, which revolves around a few items of daily use. On the face of it, This is a contradiction and conflict relationship between women in ordinary black families in the United States; in fact, the author takes this as the background to fully reflect the racial conflicts and conflicts between blacks and whites. In this paper, the historical context of Grandma's Daily use is discussed from the perspective of New historicism. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first two chapters introduce the writers' works respectively. The third chapter analyzes the historical context reflected by the three black women in the novel, and focuses on the historical and cultural identity of the three black women in Grandma's Daily use. We know that the mother of the extreme watchman of the black cultural tradition in the novel is also the representative of the independent black women, and the eldest daughter of the national culture and art, Dee, is also the representative of the national struggle. The youngest daughter of the family's historical heritage, Maggie, is also a representative of the history and culture of grief. The use of African languages and the inheritance of traditional black diets and household goods have made a historical analysis of African culture by describing the forgotten African culture. The author expresses the black resistance to the neglect of African culture by mainstream culture. Chapter five analyzes the conflict of historical and cultural concepts embodied in the works, which can be regarded as a means of historical construction. That is, the traditional life represented by mothers in the novel and the impact of the new ideas brought by the activist of the civil rights movement, the aesthetic concept of the black people itself is impacted by the aesthetic appreciation of the mainstream culture of the white people. And radical separatism and non-violent integration between the conflict. Chapter 6 is the conclusion. Based on the new historicist interpretation of Grandma's Daily use, this paper points out that the work shows the living state and spiritual world of the black people, and reveals the great impact of the white dominant American society on the traditional life of the black people. It shows the suffering of black women, the oppression they suffer, and their struggles and struggles in the black civil rights movement and the feminist movement. It shows how Alice Walker can better protect African-American culture. Carrying forward the black movement and seeking unity in the midst of sectarian conflict, The analysis of this paper also contributes to a deeper understanding of black traditional culture and black writers.
