摘要

最近在美国明尼阿波利斯发生的非裔美国人乔治·弗洛伊德被警察粗暴对待的事件,引发了“黑人的命也是命”运动所倡导的种族意识的复苏。种族概念塑造了许多代人的生活,并在21世纪继续如此。种族隔离以及公众对种族主义的歇斯底里对社会产生了巨大影响,并导致了种族间的歧视和种族歧视。运用批判种族理论,本研究考察了阿索尔·富加德的《西兹维·班西已死》、约瑟夫·康拉德的《黑暗之心》和沃尔·索因卡的《电话谈话》中的种族话语。通过对话语的分析,揭示了白人-黑人(自我/他者)二元(种族隔离)、种族歧视和动物隐喻等对黑人种族的描述中存在的种族倾向。本文对种族话语的研究做出了贡献,并强调了语言在描述文学文本中人物的种族取向方面的作用。

Our skin is trouble: Racial discourse in Athol Fugard’s Sizwe Bansi is Dead, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Wole Soyinka’s ‘Telephone Conversation’
The recent incident in Minneapolis, United States, where George Floyd, an African-American man, was manhandled by a police officer has brought about the resurgence of racial awareness as championed by the Black Lives Matter Movement. The concept of race has shaped the lives of so many generations and continues to do so in the 21st century. Racial segregation as well as the public hysteria on racism has had so much influence on societies and has led to discrimination and racial slurs across races. Using Critical Race Theory, this study examines racial discourse in Athol Fugard’s Sizwe Bansi is Dead, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Wole Soyinka’s ‘Telephone Conversation’. The analysis of the discourse reveals racial tendencies in the description of the black race through white-black (Self/Other) binary (racial segregation), race-based discrimination and animal metaphors. The paper contributes to scholarship on racial discourses and foregrounds the function of language in depicting the racial orientation of characters in literary texts.
