【摘要】：托尼·莫里森是美国最杰出、最有影响力的作家之一,是第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女作家。《宠儿》是其第五部小说,自出版以来,许多学者已经从各种角度来解读它。本论文在细读文本的基础上,试探讨《宠儿》中三组二元对立的消解,即性别、种族和文化对立的消解。除了引言和结论,本论文分为三章。第一章分析黑人社区内部性别二元对立的消解。在奴隶制和种族主义的压迫下,不管是男性还是女性都是受害者,他们必须消解对立,互相理解互相支持才能有新生活。第二章讨论《宠儿》中种族对立的消解。在这部小说中,莫里森颠覆了黑人和白人的惯有形象,即不是所有的白人都是残酷的压迫者,也不是所有的黑人都是无辜的受害者,在小说最后我们可以看到在某种程度上黑白两个种族达到了和解。第三章探讨小说中非洲文化和西方文化对立的消解。在文化多元化发展的背景下,两种文化呈现着融合的趋势,而非裔美国人只有把他们的本土文化和西方文化结合才能在这个新世界中找到自己的身份定位。《宠儿》这部小说的意义在于它不仅显示了莫里森打破传统二元对立结构的艺术追求,更重要的是它建构了一种超越对立的和谐共存局面。总之,莫里森在《宠儿》中不仅再现了二元对立下的伤痛,而且消解了这些对立,引起了更多人对非裔美国人命运的关注。本文通过分析小说中三组二元对立的消解,揭示出莫里森对普通黑人命运的关心以及她为非裔美国人的未来出路所做的思考,即多元化和谐共存才是他们未来的最终出路。
[Abstract]:Tony Morrison is one of the most outstanding and influential writers in the United States and the first black woman writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Beloved is his fifth novel and many scholars have interpreted it from various angles since its publication. On the basis of reading the text carefully, this paper tries to explore the elimination of three groups of binary opposites in beloved, that is, gender, race and culture. In addition to the introduction and conclusions, this paper is divided into three chapters. The first chapter analyzes the elimination of gender duality within the black community. Under the oppression of slavery and racism, both men and women were victims, and they had to dispel opposition and understand and support each other in order to have a new life. The second chapter discusses the elimination of racial antagonism in beloved. In this novel, Morrison subverts the stereotypical image of blacks and whites, that is, not all whites are cruel oppressors and not all blacks are innocent victims. At the end of the novel we can see that to some extent the black and white races have achieved reconciliation. Chapter three discusses the deconstruction of the opposition between African culture and western culture in the novel. In the context of cultural diversity, the two cultures are showing a trend of integration, but only by combining their native culture with Western culture can African Americans find their identity in the new world. The significance of the novel lies in that it not only shows Morrison's artistic pursuit to break the traditional dualistic structure, but also constructs a harmonious coexistence beyond the opposition. In short, Morrison, in beloved, not only reproduces the pain of duality, but also dispels it, drawing more attention to the fate of African-Americans. By analyzing the deconstruction of three groups of binary opposites in the novel, this paper reveals Morrison's concern for the fate of ordinary black people and her consideration for the future of African-Americans, that is, pluralistic and harmonious coexistence is the ultimate way out for their future.
