当代非裔女性自传中的创伤书写

Trauma Writing in Contemporary African American Women’s Autobiography: Taking Maya Angelo’s ‘I Know Why Caged Birds Sing’ as an Example

在《我知道笼中鸟为什么歌唱》这部自传中，玛雅·安吉罗通过对个人以及黑人集体创伤的叙事，完成了黑人创伤历史的重塑和整合，使自己的创伤记忆得到见证并在一定程度上实现了创伤的治愈。安吉罗在这部自传中的创伤叙事，不仅生动深刻地表现了美国非裔女性所遭受的创伤，而且突出强调了只有重新建构自己的非裔女性主体性才能最终实现创伤治愈这一观念。

In the autobiography ‘I Know Why Caged Birds Sing’, Maya Angelo reshapes and integrates the history of black trauma by narrating individual and collective trauma, witnessing her traumatic memory and achieving a certain degree of healing. Angelo’s trauma narrative in this autobiography not only vividly and profoundly portrays the trauma suffered by African American women, but also highlights the idea that only by reconstructing their own African American female subjectivity can trauma healing be ultimately achieved.
