【摘要】：作为美国文学界的一名杰出的黑人女性作家,艾丽斯·沃克(1944-)非常关注黑人的生活状况,尤其是黑人女性的命运。她的作品《紫颜色》是一部关于黑人女性成长的成功作品。处于社会底层的黑人妇女遭受了性别歧视和种族歧视的双重压迫,在男性主导的父权制社会里,她们的声音被忽略,被迫保持沉默。小说自出版以来一直被誉为黑人女性文学的经典之作,也引起了越来越多的国内外专家的研究兴趣。他们聚焦于沃克的妇女主义,分别从小说中的人物、结构、象征和语言特征等方面对其进行了研究,但是很少有学者从妇女主义的角度关注《紫颜色》中的女性声音这一主题。女性主义叙事学的代表人物苏珊·兰瑟认为声音是意识形态的表达形式；女性发出的声音正越来越响亮,是女性所处社会地位的重要象征；有色人种,尤其是被边缘化的和被迫沉默的群体也急切地渴望发出自己的声音。艾丽斯·沃克在她的代表作《紫颜色》中对于女性的声音给予了极大的关注。她意识到作品中女性人物在实现自我解放和自我认同的过程中获取话语权的重要性。本文以女性声音为切入点,采用文本分析的方法,旨在探索《紫颜色》中所反映的妇女主义思想。本文指出沃克的《紫颜色》是一部典型的追寻女性声音的作品。这种声音不仅是对父权制的反抗,也是黑人女性努力寻找自尊、自我认同和男女之间和谐共处的声音,并最终实现沃克的妇女主义思想的核心——人类的完整生存,同时,本文还证实了拥有平等话语权基础上的两性之间的交流有助于促进两性之间关系的发展。除了引言和结论部分,本文主要有两个章节构成。第二章主要是通过分析《紫颜色》中女性声音的主题意义来探索作品中所反映的妇女主义思想。本章首先分析了女主人公西丽的转变。她从一个被迫沉默的唯唯诺诺的女孩成长为一名敢于大声表达自己思想的独立女性。小说中的书信体叙述技巧的使用进一步强化了声音的力量。这个部分还分析了“歌唱”意象的意义和索菲亚暂时性失语的成因。第三章指出了女性声音和交流的关系。论文通过西丽和艾伯特、索菲亚和哈波之间关系的演变探索了两性之间交流的重要性。本文从“声音”这样一个新的角度来阐释沃克的妇女主义内涵并力图证实“声音”在交流当中起着至关重要的作用。女性只有获得话语权,两性的交流才成为可能。希望本文有助于读者更好地理解沃克的作品及其妇女主义思想。
[Abstract]:As an outstanding black female writer in American literary circles, Alice Walker (1944-) pays great attention to the living conditions of black people, especially the fate of black women. Her work, Purple, is a successful work on the growth of black women. Black women at the bottom of the society suffer from the double oppression of gender discrimination and racial discrimination. In the male-dominated patriarchal society, their voices are ignored and forced to remain silent. Since its publication, the novel has been regarded as the classic work of black women's literature, and has also aroused more and more domestic and foreign experts' interest in research. They focus on Walker's feminism and study it from the aspects of characters, structure, symbolism and linguistic characteristics respectively, but few scholars pay attention to the theme of female voice in Purple from the perspective of feminism. Susan Lanser, the representative figure of feminist narratology, argues that voice is the expression of ideology; that the voice of women is becoming louder and louder, and that it is an important symbol of the social status of women; people of color, Marginalized and silenced groups, in particular, are eager to make their voices heard. Alice Walker paid great attention to women's voices in her masterpiece, Purple. She realized the importance of the female characters in the process of self-liberation and self-identity. This paper aims to explore the feminism reflected in Purple by using the method of text analysis and using the female voice as the starting point. This paper points out that Walker's Purple Color is a typical work in pursuit of women's voices. This voice is not only a revolt against patriarchy, but also a voice that black women strive to find self-esteem, self-identity and harmonious coexistence between men and women, and ultimately achieve the core of Walker's womanist ideology-the complete existence of mankind, and at the same time, This paper also proves that communication between men and women on the basis of equal right of speech can promote the development of gender relations. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, this paper has two chapters. The second chapter mainly explores the feminist thoughts reflected in the works by analyzing the thematic significance of the female voice in Purple. This chapter first analyzes the transformation of the heroine Xili. She grew from a silent, submissive girl to an independent woman who dared to voice her thoughts. The use of epistolary narrative techniques in the novel further strengthens the power of sound. This part also analyzes the meaning of the image of singing and the causes of Sofia's temporary aphasia. The third chapter points out the relationship between female voice and communication. The paper explores the importance of communication between the sexes through the evolution of the relationship between Hillie and Albert, Sofia and Harper. This paper tries to explain the connotation of Walker's feminism from the perspective of "sound" and tries to prove that "sound" plays an important role in communication. It is only when women are given the right to speak that communication between the sexes becomes possible. It is hoped that this paper will help readers to better understand Walker's works and his feminism.
