Abstract

Abstract:The Sun Also Rises contains troubling depictions of African-American characters framed by a vile racial epithet. Although critics have addressed this topic using the familiar contexts of Hemingway’s life, his iceberg theory, or intertextuality, this article argues that a fluid, combinatory context is necessary in the twenty-first century classroom. Acknowledging Toni Morrison’s important intervention in Playing in the Dark, this essay seeks neither to dismiss or ignore the novel’s racist content nor to banish the novel from the canon, but rather to engage the novel in a complex ongoing dialogue about race and racism in American culture and literature.
"不公正无处不在面对海明威《太阳照常升起》中的种族和种族主义
摘要:《太阳照常升起》中对非洲裔美国人的描写令人不安,其中还包含一个卑鄙的种族绰号。尽管评论家们使用海明威的生平、冰山理论或互文性等熟悉的语境来探讨这一话题,但本文认为,在二十一世纪的课堂上,一个流动的、组合性的语境是必要的。本文承认托尼-莫里森对《在黑暗中玩耍》的重要干预,既不是要否定或忽视小说中的种族主义内容,也不是要将这部小说从正典中驱逐出去,而是要让这部小说参与到美国文化和文学中关于种族和种族主义的复杂而持续的对话中。
