Abstract

Abstract:In his 1946 essay “Twentieth-Century Fiction and the Black Mask of Humanity,” Ralph Ellison accuses Hemingway of “intellectual evasion” on the topic of race, claiming that Hemingway affirms the position of the white American by either misrepresenting African Americans in his fiction, or by excluding them entirely. This paper expands upon readings of The Sun Also Rises to illuminate moments of racial acknowledgment, particularly where they converge with themes of sexuality. In doing so, I aim to bring to light race as a noteworthy and nuanced theme in a text that otherwise feels merely reductive with respect to race.
"智力回避 "还是 "悲剧精神"?重新思考海明威《太阳照常升起》中的种族问题
摘要:拉尔夫-埃里森(Ralph Ellison)在1946年发表的《二十世纪小说与人性的黑色面具》一文中,指责海明威在种族问题上 "智力回避",声称海明威在小说中歪曲或完全排斥非裔美国人,从而肯定了美国白人的地位。本文在对《太阳照常升起》的解读基础上,进一步阐释海明威对种族问题的承认,尤其是在这些承认与性主题交汇的地方。在此过程中,我旨在揭示种族这一值得注意而又细致入微的主题,否则,我们就会觉得这部作品在种族问题上只是简单的还原。
