A Cultural Study of Autobiographical Writing and the Making of the Black Self

我发表了一份研究项目报告，题为《自传体写作和黑人自我的形成的文化研究》，由以下四篇文章组成。1.发表在九州大学语言文化研究图书馆(九州大学)第九卷上的J·W·约翰逊的《一个前有色人种的自传和《双重意识》，调查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》，重点关注其情节发展的双重结构和叙述者-英雄的伪装感。2.理查德·怀特的《黑人男孩和自传的写作》，《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。4.《关于拉尔夫·埃利森的一些笔记》揭示了埃里森是如何借用莱特的《黑人男孩》中的一些情节，并可以说，它解构了后者直白、激情和自然主义的叙事话语。除了这四篇散文外，我在研究自传体写作和黑人自我的形成这一主题时，还写了关于福克纳、泰特和莱特尔的文章，即《福克纳、现代主义和历史意识》、《艾伦·泰特的父亲与南方》和《安德鲁·莱特尔与旧南方的衰落》。他们通过处理白人世界，即使是间接地，对我的项目提供了一些启示，而白人世界构成了本研究所涉及的黑人作家作品的根本背景。

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.
