托妮·莫里森的寫作才華是舉世公認(rèn)的。她贏得了眾多榮譽(yù)和獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),其中包括美國(guó)國(guó)家書評(píng)圈獎(jiǎng)和普利策獎(jiǎng)。作為第一位獲得最負(fù)勝名的諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的黑人女性,莫里森為現(xiàn)代文學(xué)做出了不可估量的貢獻(xiàn)。 莫里森迄今為止最優(yōu)秀的小說,也是戰(zhàn)后最重要的文學(xué)成果之一—《寵兒》自1987年出版以來,對(duì)它的評(píng)論大量涌現(xiàn),贊賞有加�！秾檭骸钒_萬象的文本激勵(lì)著人們對(duì)其作出各式各樣的闡釋。《寵兒》主要講述奴隸制對(duì)黑人母親揮之不去的可怕的影響,小說最突出的主題--母性,在慘絕人寰的奴隸制壓迫下扭曲變形。 許多女權(quán)主義者認(rèn)為母性是女性受壓迫的根源所在,而這恰恰和非裔美國(guó)人的母性觀背道而馳。莫里森的母親理論是在建立在黑人婦女的經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及非裔美國(guó)人的母性觀基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展形成的。她將母性定義為黑人婦女的力量源泉而母職則能賦予孩子力量,這與主流文化所實(shí)行和定義的母性截然不同。莫里森闡述了母職的四項(xiàng)具體任務(wù)是保護(hù),撫育,承載文化,和彌合,而她的作品卻是通過描寫母愛的缺失造成的畸形母性來揭示其重要性。 畸形的母性主要表現(xiàn)在兩個(gè)方面,一個(gè)是變態(tài)的母愛,另一個(gè)是不健康的母女關(guān)系�；蔚哪感钥梢詺w因于三個(gè)因素:奴隸制,母線的斷裂以及社區(qū)的排斥。據(jù)...
