【摘要】 厄德里克在《甜菜女皇》中描述了跨越三代的三个女性印第安人物——佛勒·皮莱革,赛莱斯婷·詹姆斯和多特·阿黛尔,并展示了她们在面对时代变迁,通过形成各自的家庭关系构建了不同的身份——“部落关爱者”、“圆滑的协调者”和“坚定的能动者”。第一代印第安女性佛勒是一位部落关爱者,她接纳白人和印第安血亲进入其开放型家庭中。作为一位传统印第安女性,佛勒坚持本土传统,用爱和关心对待她的瘸腿侄子罗素和白人受伤男孩卡尔。第二代印第安女性塞莱斯婷是一位圆滑的协调者,她在是否接受白人丈夫和朋友入赘其家庭的问题上犹豫不决。塞莱斯婷是印白混血,居住在白人小镇,身受双重文化影响而陷入身份困境。面对卡尔和玛丽闯进她的家庭,一方面,塞莱斯婷作为印第安后裔,她欢迎所有亲朋入赘她的家庭;另一方面,她拒绝被白人父权压制。因此,塞莱斯婷将丈夫卡尔驱逐出家,而把小姑子兼朋友玛丽收留进家。第三代印第安女性多特是一位坚定的能动者,她将她周围的边缘人物连结在其网状家庭中。她由母亲塞莱斯婷、姑母玛丽抚养长大,代理父亲华莱士也给予过很大帮助,同时与亲生父亲卡尔存血缘关系。作为“蜘蛛女”,她连结了所有家庭关系,构建了一种印白以及混血儿和谐的相处范式。更多还原

【Abstract】 Erdrich depicts three female Indian characters in The Beet Queen—Fleur Pillager, Celestine James, and Dot Adare—spanning three generations, and shows how each of them responds to the circumstances of changing times by constructing their different identities, namely caring tribalist, pliable negotiator, and determined agent, through developing their family relationships.Fleur Pillager, representing the first generation, serves as a caring tribalist who accepts both white stranger and Indian kin in her open family structure. As a traditional Indian woman, Fleur sticks to Native American traditions. She treats the white wounded kid Karl and her eventually crippled nephew Russell with her love and care.Celestine James, representing the second generation, appears as a pliable negotiator who hesitates to accept her white husband and friend in her matrilocal family structure. As the half-breed living in the white town of Argus, Celestine of mixed ancestry suffers from identity confusion. Faced with Karl and Mary breaking into her family, on the one hand, Celestine welcomes all her relations as an American Indian descendant; on the other hand, she refuses to be oppressed by white patriarchy.As a result, Celestine expels her husband and takes her sister-in-law into her family.Dot Adare, representing the third generation, acts as a determined agent who unites the displaced characters around her in her reticular family structure. Raised byCelestine and Mary with the help from Wallace Pfef as a surrogate father and meanwhile biologically connected with Karl, Dot is determined to fight against the surrounding white influence. As “the spider woman”, she unites all of her relations in her reticular family, constructing a harmonious relationship between the white, the Indian, and the mix-blood.更多还原
