摘要
在《两列火车飞驰》一剧中,奥古斯特·威尔逊借用餐馆将美国黑人文化记忆景观化,通过口述传统使日常生活交往和神话宗教仪式交叠,搭建记忆空间,以此来打破白人社会对社会记忆的选择与控制,对抗美国黑人对历史的遗忘,构筑精神共同体。从文化记忆角度解读剧本,剖析剧中记忆的再生产和共同体意识的构建,有益于读者理解剧中描述的美国黑人历史、信仰和文化,以及文化记忆对精神共同体形成的促进作用。
In Two Trains Running,August Wilson uses the restaurant to landscape the cultural memory of African-Americans.Through oral traditions,he interweaves daily interactions as well as mythological and religious rituals to build a memory space.In this way he tries to break the white society’s selection and control of social memory and fight against the amnesia of African-Americans on their past in order to form a spiritual community.The paper analyzes the reproduction of memory and the construction of community consciousness from the perspective of cultural memory.It helps readers understand better the history,religious belief and culture of black Americans implied in the drama,as well as the role of cultural memory in generating community consciousness.
