摘要
本文从新历史主义的角度对比《宠儿》与《黑人丛书》中反映黑人奴隶生活的玛格丽特.加纳故事,并介绍、分析了其他作者对玛格丽特.加纳故事的回应,指出美国奴隶制对人性的摧残。通过反思《宠儿》产生的文化语境及其文本再现,分析作者托尼.莫里森拒绝人为地划分“虚构”与“历史”,关注“谁在述说过去的故事,以及这些故事如何决定当代人理解奴隶制的方式”,体现了80年代以来美国新历史主义的理论成果与文本实践。
This thesis, based on a comparative study of Toni Morrison＇ s Beloved and the story of Margaret Garner collected in Black Book from the new historical perspective and analysis of other authors＇ responses to the story, reveals the devastation of American slavery over human nature. By reconsidering the cultural context of Beloved and its representation, this paper concludes that Toni Morrison refuses to distinguish between ＂fiction＂ and ＂history＂ but instead focuses on ＂who is telling the story of the past, and how the story confines contemporary understanding of American slavery,＂ and thus embodies the theoretical achievements of American new historicism and the textual practices.
