关键词:《最蓝的眼睛》三种话语的分析Three Kinds of DiscoursesThe Bluest Eye外国文学研究
摘要:The description of the black community in The Bluest Eye, displays some external factors from the side of view, such as how the blacks are victimized in the white society, how the white cultural impacts get to influence the black family and community, and so on.
ses in The Bluest Eye
In the United States, beauty is the combination of blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. This standard does not only exist in American society; but also in narrator’s view, it seems the core of Western civilization, the black community which lives in the aesthetic standards has experienced a very long psychological test. The Bluest Eye is composed of three kinds of discourses. Through the three kinds of discourses, Toni Morrison realizes her writing purposes, the self-denial discourse exposes the black people’s self-loathing psychology; the racist discourse enables readers to further understand the trauma of the black; and the constructive discourse shows hope in the black. So Morrison let us understand the psychology of the black and have a further understanding to appear this psychological reason.
2.1 Discourse
The term “discourse” is used by many in very different senses, some having little to do with language. For instance, the term “discourse of racial discrimination” as used in the Medias and some of the social sciences often refer not to the language use of those who practice racial discrimination but to the ideologies and belief systems generated therein. In fact, studies of racial discrimination discourse in political science or history for example may not pay any attention to language at all. (Aronoff, 2001: 428)
A more complex understanding of discourse emphasizes that formal conventions of the mode of expression are not the only aspect of language that is determined by the social. Underlying beliefs and worldviews, specific to the social context, are seen to be mediated by discourse. In contemporary continental philosophy, this understanding of discourse as the covert embodiment of social values is taken on a more critical, political level—discourse is seen by some philosophers as a means of the legitimization of social and political practices. Through the proliferation of discourse, beliefs and ideas that are actually socially and historically specific are legitimized by their seemingly universal and natural appearance.
Understood as a medium, then discourse functions as a powerful tool through which social and political conventions beliefs and practices, ideologies, subject positions, and norms can all be mediated. Yet as we have seen, discourse does not simply serve as a connecting link between a stable, exterior society and the individual. All of these social values emanate from individuals who enunciate a discourse that is at the same not completely their own, a discourse which in turn implants and reinforces the notion it contains. Discourse always consists of both input and output, and is always at once an extension of our culture and of ourselves.
2.2 Self-denial Discourse of the Black
Concerning to aesthetic standards for whites, Karaulin·Gerrard, a black writer points that those whose points have reached or are close to this standard believe that they are perfect , but those whose points have not reach this standard give up their self-image and they have the result of self-denial. This phenomenon is fatal to the immature psychological. Unfortunately Pecola lives
