【摘要】:《卡羅萊納州的私生女》(Bastard out of Carolina)是桃樂西·艾莉森(Dorothy Allison)榮獲1992年美國國家圖書獎提名的一部半自傳體作品。艾莉森在小說中對于諸多殘酷的社會現(xiàn)象真實的描寫吸引了眾多評論家的關(guān)注。本研究旨在用身份理論剖析窮白人群體的邊緣身份困境:格雷掙扎于兩個階級夾縫中的身份困境,以及作品中幾位女性人物的附屬身份困境,以此來探討其成因以及所導(dǎo)致的消極影響。 本研究認(rèn)為,身份認(rèn)同困境的根源在于內(nèi)群體排斥與外群體偏見兩個方面。安妮、瑞琳等窮白人家庭成員試圖通過改變自己的行為舉止和生活方式來擺脫窮白人身份,然而外群體對她們的刻板印象令她們始終無法被主流社會接受。同時,她們作為女性群體的代表在經(jīng)濟、情感等方面都處于附屬地位。雖然一些女性人物曾試圖擺脫這一附屬身份,卻遭到了來自男性和女性群體雙方的歧視。在這種身份認(rèn)同困境中她們?yōu)榱俗非蟾邔哟蔚纳矸荻鲃优懦鈨?nèi)群體,在改變自己的過程中卻始終遭受外群體的偏見。與此相反,格雷扮演著內(nèi)群體排斥的承受者以及外群體偏見的施動者的雙重角色。一方面,由于其事業(yè)上的毫無成就以及窘迫的生活狀態(tài),他急于得到認(rèn)同的白人中產(chǎn)階級身份遭到內(nèi)群體成員的否定;另一方面,,雖然他娶了出生于窮白人家庭的安妮,卻自認(rèn)為其身份高人一等而蔑視這一群體。身份認(rèn)同困境直接導(dǎo)致了自卑和憤怒等消極情緒以及暴力行為。骨兒遭受繼父格雷虐待和被母親拋棄的成長悲劇實質(zhì)上都是身份認(rèn)同困境的產(chǎn)物。因此,突破身份認(rèn)同困境的一個重要條件即是消除群體間的偏見或是建立多重身份以免陷入某一身份的認(rèn)同困境。
[Abstract]:Bastard out of Carolina is a semi-autobiographical work nominated by Dorothy Allison for the 1992 National Book Award. The true description of many cruel social phenomena in Alison's novels has attracted the attention of many critics. The purpose of this study is to use identity theory to analyze the marginal identity dilemma of the poor white group: the identity dilemma in which Gray struggles between two classes and the subordinate identity dilemma of several female characters in his works. In order to explore its causes and the resulting negative impact. This study argues that the root of identity dilemma lies in both internal group exclusion and external group bias. Poor white family members, such as Annie and Rileen, try to get rid of their poor white identity by changing their behavior and way of life. However, the stereotype of them among foreign groups has always made them unacceptable to the mainstream society. At the same time, as the representative of the female group, they are attached to the economy, emotion and so on. Although some women have tried to escape this attachment, they have been discriminated against by both men and women. In this kind of identity dilemma, they actively reject the inner group in order to pursue a higher level of identity, but they always suffer from the prejudice of the outside group in the process of changing themselves. In contrast, Gray acts as a receiver of inner group exclusion and as an actor of external group bias. On the one hand, because of his lack of success in his career and poor living conditions, he was denied his white middle-class identity, which he was eager to gain; on the other hand, although he married Anne, who was born to a poor white family, He thinks he is superior and disdains this group. Identity dilemma leads directly to negative emotions, such as inferiority complex and anger, as well as violence. The tragedy of Bones being abused by stepfather Gray and abandoned by their mother is essentially the result of identity dilemma. Therefore, an important condition to break through the dilemma of identity is to eliminate prejudice among groups or to establish multiple identities so as to avoid falling into the dilemma of identity.
