看得见的记忆:《圣痕》中的创伤视觉叙事研究Memories that can be seen:The visual discourse of trauma in Phyllis Alesia Perry’s Stigmata

摘要(Abstract):
在当代美国非裔作家重返历史的文学实践中,菲利斯·阿莱西亚·佩里的《圣痕》以视觉化的创伤记忆呈现奴隶制历史,为当代美国非裔历史叙事探寻了新的进路。小说以“不可言说”为修辞手段,为创伤记忆的视觉化构筑了前提,并借助超自然显现、作为符号表征的身体和百纳被拼布艺术等视觉元素,使看不见的情感部分可视化。通过强调创伤记忆的复杂性和对记忆的视觉化处理,小说揭示了创伤记忆传递的多层面,同时也探寻了在艺术表达中寻求个体和集体救赎的可能。
