摘要

本文试图探究过去如何决定了奥古斯特-威尔逊的《钢琴课》中黑人忧郁的身份,以及钢琴的存在虽然造成了创伤,但却成为了失去的遗迹。这些遗迹就像黑人的纪念碑,他们可以通过它来阅读和重读自己的历史。在《钢琴课》中,失去的残余或遗物被描绘成过去的创伤和无法化解的悲伤的凄美象征。这些残留物不仅唤起了历史的厚重感,还让人了解到主人公的情感挣扎以及他们试图与失去的东西和解的努力。为了定义过去及其对现在的影响,不可避免地要提及一些概念,如创伤、忧郁症和损失。然而,本文提供的定义偏离了对这些观点的经典解释。奥古斯特-威尔逊的《钢琴课》代表了黑人种族所经历的损失和创伤的积累,当代黑人通过这些创伤的遗迹将自己与过去联系在一起,这使他们拥有了一种忧郁的特权,可以对创伤进行新的解读,以对抗白人所有者。此外,剧中的钢琴就像一座创伤纪念碑,在上面刻下了过去的历史,并通过它开始了反对奴隶制的斗争,这可能会导致黑人获得自由和独立,反对奴隶制。

MELANCHOLIA AND REMAINS OF LOSS IN AUGUST WILSON'S THE PIANO LESSON
This paper is an attempt to investigate the way the past determines the melancholic identity of the black people involved in August Wilson's The Piano Lesson and the way the piano’s presence, though traumatic, stands as remains of the loss. The remains act like a monument for black people through which they can read and re-read their history. In The Piano Lesson the remnants or remains of loss are depicted, serving as poignant symbols of past traumas and unresolved grief. These remnants not only evoke the weight of history but also provide insights into the characters' emotional struggles and their attempts to reconcile with their losses. In order to define the past and its influence in the present referring to some notions like trauma, melancholia, and loss is unavoidable. However, the definitions provided here deviate from the classical explanations given to these perspectives. August Wilson's The Piano Lesson represents the accumulation of the losses and traumas experienced by the black race through whose remains the present generation of black people attaches themselves to the past, which gives them a melancholic privilege to produce new reading of traumas to stand against the white owners. Moreover, the piano in the play acts as a traumatic monument in which the history of the past has been carved, and through which the fight against slavery starts which could lead to freedom and independence for the black race against slavery.
