编辑本段简介 托妮·莫里森（Toni Morrlson，1931～）美国黑人女作家。生于俄亥俄州钢城洛里恩，父亲是蓝领工人， 母亲在白人家帮佣。1949 年她以优异成绩考入当时专为黑人开设的霍华德大学，攻读英语和古典文学。大学毕业后，又入康奈尔大学专攻福克纳和沃尔夫的小说，并以此获硕士学泣。此后，她在德克萨斯南方大学和霍德华大学任教。1966年，她在纽约兰多姆出版社担任高级编辑，曾为拳王穆罕默德·阿里自传和一些青年黑人作家的作品的出版竭尽全力。她所主编的《黑人之书》，记叙了美国黑人三百年历史，被称为美国黑人史的百科全书。70年代起，她先后在纽约州立大学、耶鲁大学和巴尔德学院讲授美国黑人文学，并为《纽约时报书评周报》撰写过3O篇高质量的书评文章，1987年起出任普林斯顿大学教授，讲授文学创作。莫里森可以说是一位学者型的小说家。编辑本段人物生平 托尼-莫里森像个魔术师一样，把不同的声音结合组织起来，构筑成不同的人物形象，而不是把自己的观点生硬地塞给读者。她要使读者在阅读过程中真正走进小说里，同她一起品味主人公生活的甘苦，内心世界的奥妙。那是一个黑人女孩在一个充满丑陋、歧视、欺凌的世界中，在来自另一个世界的“蓝色眼眸”的诱惑下，对美丽人生的梦幻。在她身上，你能够看到托尼-莫里森成熟塑造的“苏拉”(93年诺贝尔文学奖获奖作品《苏拉》的主人公)的影子。 莫里森的作品充满魔幻现实主义的神秘因素。《所罗门之歌》之歌中，派特拉平坦、没有肚脐眼的腹部；戴德一世的鬼魂；奶娃与神话小说中寻宝人经历相似的自我发现之旅；取材于黑奴传说的“飞回非洲的黑人”；《柏油娃儿》中来自非洲的“柏油夫人”这些超现实因素及黑人传说和神话，为莫里森的小说蒙上了一层神秘和魔幻色彩。莫里森的语言吸取了黑人口头文学的传统，看似简单却幽默，机智。那是经过精雕细琢之后又不留痕迹的文学语言。她的作品还随处可见色彩和音乐的意想，语言的美感更是得到了加强。 西方评论界普遍认为莫里森继承了拉尔夫·埃利森和詹姆斯·鲍德温的黑人文学传统，她不仅熟悉黑人民间传说、希腊神话和基督教《圣经》 ，而且也受益于西方古典文学的熏陶。在创作手法上，她那简洁明快的手笔具有海明威的风格，情节的神秘隐暗感又近似南方作家福克纳，当然还明显地受到拉美魔幻现实主义的影响。但莫里森更勇于探索和创新，摒弃以往白人惯用的那种描述黑人的语言。编辑本段主要作品 莫里森的主要成就在于她的长篇小说。自1970年
Toni Morrison
D. Song of Solomon (1977)
a. Brief Introduction Toni Morrison's third novel, Song of Solomon, established her as a major American writer. The story of a Black man's search for his identity through a discovery of his family history, it became a bestseller and drew praise from readers and critics when it was published in 1977. The novel has been especially admired for the beauty of its language and its grounding of universal themes in the particularity of the African-American experience, as well as for its use of folklore.
Milkman’s immaturity stems directly from the enslavement and ensuing escape of his greatgrandfather, Solomon. Because Solomon escaped, Milkman’s grandfather, Macon Dead I, grew up an orphan. In turn, Macon Dead I’s son, Macon Jr., witnesses white men murder his father. Macon Jr. never fully recovers from witnessing his father’s death; he becomes a greedy, vicious man who raises his own son, Milkman, to share those characteristics. The racism that has afflicted Milkman’s ancestors is partially responsible for Milkman’s own selfishness. Milkman is finally able to heal his wounds by traveling to Shalimar, the site of Solomon’s flight toward liberty.
Toni_Morrison简介资料
Morrison taught English at two branches of the State University of New York.
In 1984 she was appointed to an Albert Schweitzer chair at the University at Albany, The State University of New York. From 1989 until her retirement in 2006, Morrison held the Robert F. Goheen Chair in the Humanities at Princeton University
Major themes
Manhood
The only significantly developed male character is Paul D, described as "the kind of man who could walk into a house and make the women cry. Because with him, in his presence, they could cry and tell him things they only told each other". He is, however, emotionally crippled. During his service in a chain-gang, his hands uncontrollably shake until he can learn to trap his emotions and lock them away. It takes Beloved and her audacious seduction to release him and to free the "red heart" he's imprisoned in the "rusted tobacco tin" of his memories. Paul D is the only male character against whom the women's strengths are tested and contrasted. Nearly all the other men in the story are oppressors or comparatively lightly sketched. Paul D cannot cope with Sethe's murder of her children—even though he knows it was an extreme act of love—and leaves, but returns to "put his story next to hers", a display of his courage and mature love, if crippled by his slavery ordeal. Leaving the readers without ultimate answers, Toni Morrison concludes on a hopeful note, as Paul D convinces Sethe that she herself is her own "best thing."

二、Beloved（ 《娇女》 或《宠 儿》）
原型：女奴玛格丽特· 加纳 的故事 Morrison later told that "I thought at first it couldn't be written, but I was annoyed and worried that such a story was inaccessible to art." 莫里森在她《娇女》所要表现的不是奴隶制度， 而是像玛格丽特那样的奴隶们的生活状态。莫 里森的创作意图是要“虚构她的生活” 。最 为重要“通过想像的方式来解构并重构现实”， 探求人物的心理，展现“黑奴的内心生活”

Toni Morrison
Literary Characteristics
In her works , Toni Morrison has explored the experience of black women in a racist culture. Toni Morrison has actively used her influence to defend the role of artist and encouraged the publication of other black writers. Morrison is successful because, on the one hand, she has shifted her focus onto a black relationship. On the other hand, she has been working self-consciously in search of her own style. She is not restricted by social realism. On the contrary, she not only applies black myths and legends in her stories, but also uses symbolic devices to reveal the racial problems in American society.
Beloved
Present plot: to drive out Beloved, who seems to be the ghost of the daughter Seethe murdered. At last, Beloved leaves 124 forever, Denver is preparing to go to college, and Paul D returns to Seethe, who has been spending her days in Baby Suggs’s bed.
Seethe and Deபைடு நூலகம்ver(塞丝和丹芙)
Seethe , a proud and noble woman, has endured the physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma(创伤)， her most striking characteristic is her devotion to her children. But, she shows herself to be still enslaved by the past. Denver, Seethe’s daughter, is the most dynamic character in the novel, and throughout the novel Denver is in close with the supernatural(超自 然). At last, she is forced to step outside the world of 124.

托尼_莫里森
治疗记忆缺失症的方法就是借助记忆， 即“重现历史”的方法。虽是对历史的 重现，但目的却是治愈历史创伤，从历 史中走出，面向未来。 唤醒人们记忆、迫使人们重回历史场景 的是“娇女”，她成为了把人物由过去 的记忆引向未来生活、由分裂自我导向 完整性自我的桥梁。
在《娇女》中，“娇女”的重要功能就 是开启人们的记忆，或者说，“娇女” 就是记忆本身。 “重新记忆是一种重新生活，不仅仅是 记忆，奴隶叙事也不是记忆，而是重新 生活。”
记忆的负担和疗救功能
莫里森 ：“小说中的人物不愿回忆，我不愿 回忆，黑人不愿回忆，白人不愿回忆，我是说， 这是全民族的记忆缺失症”。 莫里森所说的“记忆缺失症ห้องสมุดไป่ตู้，既指向黑人群 体，从另一层意义上，也指向美国这个国家。 莫里森：“我们生活的美国是一个过去总是被 抹去、将来总是清白无辜的地方，其间尽管移 民们来来往往，但是美国历史总是清清爽爽的。 过去不在场、或者被浪漫化。这个文化不鼓励 评述过去的真相，更不会接受关于过去的真相。 与30年前相比，现在记忆处于更加危险的境 地。”
（三）艺术特征
1．充满非洲文化的艺术元素。 （1）、非洲文化中的口语特征 呼唤与应答(call-and-response)模式 “林间空地”布道 ： 她喊道:“让孩子们过来!”他们就从树林里跑向她。 “让你们的母亲听你们大笑。”她对他们说道,于是树 林鸣响。大人们看着,忍俊不禁。然后,“让男人们过 来。”她喊道。他们从嘹亮的树林里鱼贯而出。“让 你们的妻子和孩子看你们跳舞。”她对他们说,于是大 地在他们脚下震颤。最后她把女人们唤来。“哭,”她 向她们吩咐道。“为了活着的和死去的,哭吧。”于是 女人们还没捂上眼睛就尽情号哭起来。 小说接近尾声时的驱魔场景

托尼.莫里森与生态女性主义
摘要生态女性主义是后现代主义思潮的一个新流派，生态女性主义批评把文学批评放在性别歧视和生态危机的语境下，从“环境”和“性别”的双重视角进行文学批评，研究文学、自然、女性、文化的关系。本文着重从托尼·莫里森的个人经历及作品来探究其写作中的生态女性主义元素。

一托尼·莫里森
托尼·莫里森（toni morrlson）当代美国黑人女作家，1931年生于俄亥俄州一个普通的黑人家庭。莫里森的主要文学成就在于她的长篇小说，自1970年起，她先后发表了《最蓝的眼睛》（1970）、《秀拉》（1973）、《所罗门之歌》（1977）、《柏油孩子》（1981）、《宠儿》（1988）、《爵士乐》（1992）、《天堂》（1999）、《爱》（2003）、《恩惠》（2008）等九部长篇小说。1993年，托尼·莫里森获得了诺贝尔文学奖，她也是首位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女作家。
托尼·莫里森的黑人女作家身份使得她能够更加全面和彻底地了解黑人女性的生存现状。不同于其他黑人女作家，莫里森的文笔时时刻刻渗透着黑人的智慧，而这源于她所受到的良好的教育，虽然她的父亲是蓝领工人，母亲在白人家帮佣，但聪慧勤奋的莫里森却于1949年以优异的成绩考入当时专为黑人开设的霍华德大学专修英语和古典文学。大学毕业后，莫里森又到康奈尔大学专攻福克纳
和沃尔夫的小说，并获得了硕士学泣。这样的学习经历为她日后的创作奠定了坚实的基础。莫里森曾先后在德克萨斯南方大学和霍德华大学任教，并曾在纽约兰多姆出版社担任高级编辑，她所主编的《黑人之书》，记叙了美国黑人的300年历史，被称为美国黑人史的百科全书。就是这本书让莫里森对黑人的文化和历史有了更深层次的挖掘，同时也触动了她对黑人文化的深层思考。70年代起，莫里森开始在纽约州立大学、耶鲁大学和巴尔德学院等大学院校讲授美国黑人文学，并为《纽约时报书评周报》撰写书评文章。1987年起，她又出任普林斯顿大学教授并讲授文学创作。如此的学习经历和工作资历，使得莫里森能够以一种更高的层次来展现美国黑人文学的魅力。
Toni Morrison
1949 年她以优异成绩考入当时专为黑人开 设的霍华德大学(Howard University) ，攻读英 语和古典文学。1953年大学毕业后，托妮 赴康奈尔大学(Cornell University)深造，以论 述福克纳和沃尔夫作品中的自杀主题的论 文获文学硕士学位。此后，她与来自牙买 加的黑人工程师莫瑞森结婚后，定居在一 座小城。
文学历程
在抚养第一个儿子期间，她和几 位女友组织了一个小小的文学俱 乐部。大家定期聚会时，每个人 都要读一篇自己写的小作品。有 一次，托妮实在没东西可写，就 讲了一个黑人小姑娘想有一双美 丽的蓝色大眼睛的寓言，这就是 后来她的处女作——《最蓝的眼 睛》的雏形。
The Bluest Eye
托妮从一开始从事文 学创作，就独特地 “把神话色彩和政治 敏感有机地结合了起 来”。她写作和发表 《最蓝的眼睛》之日 (1969)，正是美国黑 人权利运动风起云涌 之时。
在写过一个女孩和一个 姑娘之后，这位把文学 创作视为“一生中所尊 重的事业”的女作家才 开始谨慎地写男人，这 就是发表于1977年的 《所罗门之歌》。
从1966年起，托妮作为兰多姆出版社的高 级编辑，平均每年都要编辑六七本书，其 中有囊括三百年间美国黑人史料、被称为 美国黑人史百科全书的图文并茂的《黑人 之书》，以及《拳王阿里自传》等。
Sula
4年后，托妮发表了她的第二部小说《秀 拉》(1973)。这部篇幅不大的小说一问世， 便引起了轩然大波。原因就是书中的同名 女主人公，作为一个处于社会最底层的黑 人女性，一反过去的文学作品中黑人对白 人既恨又怕的形象，把黑人的原始性观与 争取做人的斗争结合了起来。

• The novel is a mixture of the fantastic and the realistic that is also typical of Morison's other novels. The supernatural elements are best represented by the ghost character, Beloved. • Morrison made constant use of the flashback method of storytelling in this great narrative. By moving back and forth chronologically, Morrison has combined the past and the present fragments into a unified whole. Morrison's use of multiple timeframes and fantastic occurrences, such as the reappearance of Beloved, demonstrates her lyric storytelling abilities.
