A Study on the Black People’s Survival Status in >Beloved< [对《宠儿》中黑人生存状况的研究], Master thesis, English Language and Literature, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian, Liaoning, China 2016 [application of Fromm's theories to art].

  • 作为首位获得诺贝尔文学奖殊荣的黑人女作家,托尼•莫里森深切关注美国黑人的生存状况。她的代表作《宠儿》探讨了长期备受关注的种族问题,即在白人占主导地位的社会里黑人往往挣扎于生存的困境。国内外许多学者对其作品从不同的角度进行了详细的研究,而较少有人从弗洛姆社会心理的角度来分析《宠儿》这部作品。弗洛姆社会心理理论认为,病态的社会塑造其成员不健全的人格,人会与自身,他人,社会以及自然之间产生异化;其次,受社会经济、政治以及文化因素的影响,社会结构塑造其成员特有的社会性格;另外,摆脱异化状态需要进行社会改革,良好的社会环境会促进人的创生倾向以及爱的能力的发展。本文从社会心理的视角探讨了《宠儿》中黑人的生存状态。首先分析了黑人在社会生存中丢失存在感的表现,主要表现在黑人个人心理、行为以及思想的异常,黑人与他人关系的疏远,黑人与大自然的脱离;其次分析了黑人丢失存在感的原因,主要有历史,社会以及黑人自身的原因;最后分析了作家通过作品对黑人重获存在感所寄托的希望,托尼•莫里森认为黑人应当提高自身在社会生存中的能力,恢复与他人和谐的关系,实现与社会以及自然的融合。通过分析发现,由于历史、社会以及黑人自身的因素,黑人在病态的社会中形成不健全的人格,丢失自我存在感,陷入了生存的困境。但是在社会环境改善的情况下,黑人通过努力可以实现与他人、世界以及自然的和谐共处,走出生存困境。本研究对今天人们如何面对种族问题以及黑人如何更好地生活,实现社会的和谐具有重要意义,并有利于丰富和发展对托尼•莫里森及其作品的研究。
  • [As the first black woman writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, Toni Morrison deeply concerns about the black people’s survival status in the United States. Her representative work >Beloved< discusses the racial problem which has been paid much attention for a long time. That problem is about the black people’s survival predicaments in the white-dominated society. Many scholars both at home and abroad have carried out detailed studies on her works from different perspectives, but few people analyze the work >Beloved< from the perspective of Fromm’s social psychology. Fromm’s socio-psychology theory believes that a sick society shapes its members’ unhealthy personalities and people in the society become alienated from themselves, others, society and nature. Next, influenced by the social economy, politics and cultural factors, the social structure shapes its members’ unique social character. In addition, the social reforms should be carried out for people to get rid of the alienated state and a better social environment can promote the creative tendency of human beings and develop human’s ability to love. This paper explores the black people’s survival status in Beloved from the perspective of social psychology. First this paper analyzes the manifestations of loss of sense of presence among black people when they survive in society, including the alienation of personal psychology, behaviors and thoughts, the alienated relationships with others and the estrangement from nature environment; Second this paper analyzes causes for the black people’s loss of sense of presence, including historical, social and the black people’s personal factors. Third this paper analyzes the writer’s hopes for the revival of the black people’s sense of presence. She believes that the black people should improve their ability to survive in society, rebuild harmonious relationships with others and integrate into society and nature. Through analyzing, this paper concludes that due to historical, social and personal factors, the black people develop their unhealthy personalities, lose the sense of presence and fall into survival predicaments in a sick society. However, under the circumstances of social environment improvement, the black people can get along well with others, the world and nature and get out of their survival predicaments through their efforts. This paper is meaningful for people today to deal with the racial problem well, for the black people to live better and for human beings to realize the harmony of society. It is also useful to enrich and develop studies on Toni Morrison and her works.] [Author’s translation]
