对托尼·莫里森《宠儿》的互文性解读

论文摘要

《宠儿》是托尼·莫里森所著的一部在美国黑人文学史上的经典之作,曾被授予诺贝尔文学奖。莫里森凭借她深厚的文化积淀和细腻的笔触创作的这部令人叹为观止的小说,表现了整个黑人民族努力探索自身生存和文化发展的顽强精神。在创作中,她巧妙地将大量的西方文化精髓和本民族文化传统结合在一起,使作品蕴含了深厚的文化内涵。这也为本文从互文性角度诠释小说的独特魅力提供了依据。本文将运用茱莉亚·克里斯蒂娃的广义互文性理论和热拉尔·热奈特的狭义互文性理论为理论框架,分析托妮·莫里森的小说《宠儿》的互文性特点。全文分四章,第一章是介绍作家、作品及通过对国内外学者对《宠儿》的各个角度的分析进行文献综述,进而提出本文从互文性角度对宠儿进行阐释的可行性；第二章提出互文性的理论来源,并从广义和狭义两个方面进一步对互文性进行阐释；第三章立足于克里斯蒂娃的互文性理论,从广义互文性角度分析了《宠儿》中圣经文化和非洲传统文化的互文性特点。莫里森在小说中通过对圣经博爱精神的宣扬、天堂神话的重塑以及非洲传统文化的再现,表达了黑人民族只有自爱自强才能获得自由,只有继承发扬民族传统才能谋求发展的民族思想；第四章以热奈特的狭义互文性理论为基础,探讨了《宠儿》中暗示和仿作等互文性特点的体现。莫里森通过圣经神话的启示和真实故事的重塑,再现了黑人民族被种族歧视异化的屈辱生活,暗示了黑人民族只有团结一致,走出自我身份认识的困境,继承民族的宝贵遗产才能最终争取民族自由和独立。最后结语部分,对整个文章结构做出总结概况。
