论艾丽斯,沃克小说中的泛灵论思想

美国黑人女作家艾丽斯·沃克的许多作品都在让读者意识到基督教虚伪面的同时,极力为以泛灵论思想为基础的原始宗教正名,主张信仰的多样性。在她看来,这些朴素的宗教信仰积极健康,无论是在尊重女性,还是在尊重自然方面,泛灵论思想都远远优于被白人狭隘化了的基督教。在她小说创作中,沃克既通过泛灵论思想对带有偏见的主流意识形态中的上帝形象进行颠覆性解构,又看到了泛灵论思想中尊重人性的一面。不仅如此,泛灵论思想在她作品中有时还能成为身处社会底层的人们抗争不平等现实的武器。

Animism in Alice walker's fiction

In many Alice Walker’s fictions,hypocrisy of Christianity is criticized to advocate primitive religions based on animism as an alternative and for religion diversity.For Walker,these plain primitive religions are superior to narrow-minded Christianity in aspects such as a respect to woman,nature and humanity.All starts from a different interpretation of the image of the God by these primitive religions,which,on the other hand,can sometimes be used as a weapon against the unequal reality.
