从空间视角解读《宠儿》中黑人群体的建构

托尼·莫里森对空间的社会性具有深刻的理解.她的《宠儿》呈现了美国19世纪的种族现实、种族奴役、种族歧视和种族仇恨,其种族问题实质上是空间问题.以列斐伏尔的“空间论”解读《宠儿》可以将小说中的种族关系和空间关系架构起来,并将黑人群体的建构之旅以空间视角进行再现:白人通过书写的种族空间表征对黑人进行空间规训,内化黑人的意识形态,造成黑人群体的意识麻痹；黑人则选择边缘,以表征空间为主要途径进行背离白人空间表征规训的空间实践,进行空间织造.最终,黑人群体的建构过程在空间实践与表征中呈现出来.

Expounding the Construction of the Black Community in Beloved from the Perspective of Space

Toni Morrison has a unique understanding of the sociality of space.Her Beloved presents the racial reality,the racial oppression,the racial discrimination,and the racial hatred in the Nineteenth-century America.As a matter of fact,all the problems presented could be boiled down to space.Expounding Beloved through Lefebvre’s "Spatial Triad" theory can bridge the racial relationship and spatial relationship in the novel,representing the journey of the construction of the black community from a spatial perspective,that is,the white exert their disciplines over the black through the written representations of space and internalize black people’s ideology,bringing about the ideological paralysis within the black community;the black choose the marginal space,carry out their spatial practices deviating from the disciplines of white people’s representations of space and "knit" their own space by means of space of representation.Eventually,the process of the construction of the black community is displayed in their spatial practices and representations.
