最辉煌的失败-福克纳对黑人群体的探索

节选

[

《*辉煌的失败:福克纳对黑人群体的探索》内容简介：种族主题是美国南方作家——诺贝尔文学奖获得者威廉·福克纳毕生关注的核心问题之一。从《军饷》（1926）到《掠夺者》（1962），福克纳坚持对黑、白种族关系进行思索并对黑人群体进行艺术表现。与此同时，各派别的评家也对小说家的黑人观进行了追踪研究。《*辉煌的失败:福克纳对黑人群体的探索》作者概述了相关主题70年来的批评史，发现现有评论中存在两大问题：一是对作家非代表性作品及其中黑人形象的“歧视”；二是迄今为止尚无一部以小说家全部作品为对象的足本研究。鉴于此，《*辉煌的失败:福克纳对黑人群体的探索》试图通过分析36年间的不同阶段福克纳在社会历史、心理、美学等层面塑造黑人的成就及不足，展现其“抛物线”式架构，并从中得出结论：小说家在这一主题上毕生的努力是“*辉煌的失败”，是一颗“冲突的心灵”苦心孤诣、戏剧化地表现无数“冲突的心灵”的结晶。《*辉煌的失败:福克纳对黑人群体的探索》由7章组成。**章 通过解析黑人主题、创作背景和南方作家之间紧张的三角关系，旨在证明只有拥有“福克纳式”天赋和勇气的作家才能冲出重围，实现自己的“文学梦”。作为美学核心的黑人和南方社会对于黑人的敌视与动荡多变为南方作家带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。以福克纳为土要代表的南方作家勇于直面种旗问题，经历了好似将“只撕咬尖叫的猫塞进口袋”一般的痛苦思索和艰难的创作过程，从而促进了“南方文艺复兴”。福克纳则更为神奇地将个双重种族的南方小镇及其故事编织进自己的文学王国——“约克纳帕塌法及之外”。

（Warren 1966, 89）. Negroes, who confront the white man from birth to death forgenerations, prove an excellent candidate for the linkage between history and reality. Soin placing his story against southern familial heritage, Fanlkner discovers that, to quoteDavis again, “the Negro is a viable means of relating his major concerns to the past, ofsupplying an additional perspective upon the meaning of that past, and of increasingdramatic tensions between the past and present” （1983, 68）. To illuminate the concretefunctions the blacks serve, we need to turn to the black characters themselves.In Flags in the Dust, Negroes get more individualized treatment than in Soldiers’Pay. Simon, the Sartoris family coachman and butler is described as both “Negro” and”a Negro.” In the first place, whether drawn from plantation literature or from thefeatures of one of the Falkner family retainers （Simon is generally thought to owesomething to the Falkner family servant Ned Barnett）, Simon’s portrait has thereassuring face of a black happy with paternalism. He is introduced into the scene withmarvelous affinity with horses and adoration for the Sartorises:Simon sat on the seat with the reins in his left hand and the thong of the whip caught smartly back in his right and usually the unvarying and seemingly incombustible fragment of a cigar in his mouth, talking to the horses in steady, lover-like flow. Simon spoiled horses. He admired Sartorises and he had for them a warmly protective tenderness, but he loved horses, and beneath his hands the sorriest beast bloomed and acquired comeliness like a caressed woman, temperament like an opera star. （FID 8） The impression of a comic black stereotype is enforced a passage away where hedisplays “his race’s fine feeling for potential theatrics” （ibid）, “a typically generalizingremark in this novel,” notes Richard Gray, “which, like SP, reduces black people toobjects”（1994, 132）. He is physically “Negro.” He reeks of “normal odo
