Abstract

This study holds written from a post-colonial theoretical stance that Beloved by Toni Morrison, is a novel of ambivalence and resistance which questions the established boundaries between Self and Other. It is attempted to examine this novel by Morrison based on theories of poststructuralist theorist, Homi K. Bhabha, who challenges the notions of fixed identities, undermines the binary opposition between oppressed and oppressor and emphasizes the role of language in identity construction. The concepts stereotype and uncanny, derived from Bbabha's theories, are applied to the novel, and the main focus has been on the unhomely nature of the colonial world and the ambivalent nature of colonial relationships, which leads to resistance on the part of the colonized. Key Terms: Beloved, Unhomely, Uncanny, Stereotype, Morrison, Black, Novel
寻找身份的宠儿:托妮·莫里森《宠儿》解读,基于霍米·k·巴巴的理论
本研究从后殖民主义的理论立场出发,认为托妮·莫里森的《宠儿》是一部矛盾和反抗的小说,质疑了自我与他者之间的既定界限。本文试图从后结构主义理论家霍米·k·巴巴的理论出发,审视莫里森的这部小说。霍米·k·巴巴挑战了固定身份的概念,破坏了被压迫者和压迫者之间的二元对立,强调语言在身份建构中的作用。从巴巴的理论中衍生出来的“刻板印象”和“不可思议”的概念被运用到小说中,小说的主要焦点是殖民地世界的不寻常性质和殖民地关系的矛盾性质,这导致了被殖民者的反抗。关键词:宠儿,不平凡,不可思议,刻板印象,莫里森,黑人,小说
