摘要

“种族的甜蜜”在Monique Truong的《苦涩的口腔》（2010）中考察了词汇味觉联觉的感官效应。在这篇关于单词味道的文献中，白度与糖的味道及其成瘾特性联系在一起。在整部小说中，白人作为一个成瘾的对象变得清晰可见，它捍卫了自我控制的人类人格的失败理想——白人至上主义的基石。然后，这部小说揭示了重组人格的感官和思想的机会，以此来打破对种族亲密关系特别有害的欲望。

The Sweetness of Race: On Synesthesia, Addiction, and Self-Possessed Personhood in Monique Truong’s Bitter in the Mouth

“The Sweetness of Race” examines the sensorial effects of lexical-gustatory synesthesia in Monique Truong’s Bitter in the Mouth (2010). In this documentation of how words taste, whiteness becomes associated with the taste of sugar and its addictive properties. Throughout the novel, whiteness becomes legible as an object of addiction that defends against the failed ideals of self-possessed human personhood—a cornerstone to white supremacy. The novel then reveals opportunities to reorganize the senses and ideas of personhood as a means to disrupt particularly harmful appetites for racial intimacies.

期刊介绍： American Literature has been regarded since its inception as the preeminent periodical in its field. Each issue contains articles covering the works of several American authors—from colonial to contemporary—as well as an extensive book review section; a “Brief Mention” section offering citations of new editions and reprints, collections, anthologies, and other professional books; and an “Announcements” section that keeps readers up-to-date on prizes, competitions, conferences, grants, and publishing opportunities.
