Identity Politics and (Re) Construction: Toni Morrison Studies in China

作爲唯一榮獲得諾貝爾文學獎的美國黑人女作家，托妮．莫里森的作品無論是在美國境內還是在國外都受到了廣泛的關注。其作品爲讀者思考美國社會中的種族、文化與性別問題提供了廣闊的空間，尤其對理解非裔美國人的身份認同發揮著重要作用。自1981年董鼎山在《讀書》雜誌首次介紹莫里森以來，中國學者對莫里森作品的研究已取得矚目的成就。本文試圖通過分析中國學者如何回應莫里森對身份政治的理解勾勒托妮．莫里森研究在中國的發展，並將其與美國的莫里森批評進行比較，以促進兩方對莫里森研究的交流。

As an Afro-American female writer who has received many prestigious awards for literary writing, including the Nobel Prize in 1993, Toni Morrison has drawn great scholarly attention both at home and abroad. Her fiction offers such a profoundly moving meditation on racial, cultural and gender issues in American society that the readers find her texts indispensable to the understanding of what it means to be an African American. Ever since Morrison was first introduced to China in 1981 by Dong Dingshan in Dushu, Chinese critics have written remarkable reviews on her highly acclaimed novels. This essay intends to draw an outline of the evolution of Morrison criticism in China, focusing on how the Chinese scholars respond to Morrison's view of identity politics as reflected in her novels and in what sense the Morrison criticism in China is similar to and different from that in China.
