Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, I analyse the Du Boisian concept of ‘double consciousness’ and offer an overview of its different implications. I then approach Lauri Lemberg’s St. Croix Avenue and Paula Ivaska Robbins’ Below Rollstone Hill from the perspective of this concept. A comparative study of these novels enables me to detect and contextualise cases of double consciousness within both texts as related to Finnish immigrants in the United States. I also argue how this ‘double consciousness’ affects the lives and ethnic identities of Finnish immigrant characters. In line with a contextual analysis, a textual analysis in the form of close reading will also be undertaken in order to offer a better understanding of the functions of ‘double consciousness’ for Finnish characters in both literary works.

Lauri Lemberg的《圣克罗伊大道》和Paula Ivaska Robbins的《滚石山下》中的双重意识研究

本文分析了杜波依斯的“双重意识”概念，并概述了其不同含义。然后，我从这个概念的角度探讨了Lauri Lemberg的《圣克罗伊大道》和Paula Ivaska Robbins的《滚石山下》。通过对这些小说的比较研究，我能够在两部小说中发现和语境化与美国芬兰移民有关的双重意识案例。我还讨论了这种“双重意识”如何影响芬兰移民角色的生活和种族身份。根据语境分析，还将以细读的形式进行文本分析，以更好地理解芬兰人物在两部文学作品中的“双重意识”功能。
