项目摘要

I published a research project report entitled A Cultural Study of Autobiographical Writing and the Making of the Black Self, which consists of the following four essays.1."J.W.Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man and ‘Double Consciousness,'" published in the nineth volume of The Studies of Languages and Cultures Library (Kyushu University), investigates how this fiction disguised as autobiography reflects what W.E.B.Du Bois called ‘double consciousness,' focusing on the double structure of its plot development and the narrator-hero's sense of disguise.2."Richard Wright's Black Boy and the Writing of Autobiography," which appeared newly in this project report, analyses how Wright constructs his self-portrait as a man who fights with the white world with his weapon of language and points out that his self formation parallels the process of writing his own autobiography.3."Rewriting Southern History : Ernest Gaines's The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," a revised version of my earlier essay with the same title, discusses Gaines's skilful use of the framework of fictional autobiography in his attempt to rewrite Southern history from an African-American point of view.4."Some Notes on Ralph Ellison" reveals how Ellison borrows some episodes from Wright's Black Boy and, as it were, deconstructs the latter's straight, passionate, and naturalistic narrative discourse.In addition to these four essays, I wrote essays about Faulkner, Tate, and Lytle during my research on this theme of autobiographical writing and the making of the black self, namely, "Faulkner, Modernism, and Historical Consciousness," "Allen Tate's The Fathers and the South," and "Andrew Lytle and the Decline of the Old South." They shed some light, even if indirectly, on my project by dealing with the white world that forms the very background of the writings of the black writers taken up in this research.

我发表了一篇题为《自传体写作的文化研究与黑人自我的形成》的研究项目报告，其中包括以下四篇文章约翰逊的《一个前有色人种的自传和‘双重意识’》发表在《语言与文化研究图书馆》（九州大学）第九卷，研究了这部伪装成自传的小说如何反映了w.e.b.杜波依斯所说的‘双重意识’，重点关注了情节发展的双重结构和叙述者-英雄的伪装感。本项目报告中新出现的《理查德·赖特的《黑人男孩与自传的写作》分析了赖特是如何用语言这一武器构建与白人世界抗争的自画像的，并指出他的自我形成与他自己的自传写作过程是平行的。重写南方历史：欧内斯特·盖恩斯的《简·皮特曼小姐的自传》是我之前同名文章的修订版，讨论了盖恩斯如何巧妙地运用虚构自传的框架，试图从非裔美国人的角度重写南方历史。《关于拉尔夫·埃里森的一些笔记》揭示了埃里森如何从赖特的《黑男孩》中借用了一些情节，并解构了后者直率、热情和自然主义的叙事话语。除了这四篇论文之外，我在研究自传写作和黑人自我形成这一主题的过程中，还写了关于福克纳、泰特和利特尔的论文，即《福克纳、现代主义和历史意识》、《艾伦·泰特的父亲和南方》、《安德鲁·利特尔和老南方的衰落》。他们给我的项目提供了一些启示，即使是间接的，通过处理白人世界形成了黑人作家作品的背景在这个研究中。
