Abstract

Folklore plays an important role in the life and culture of African-Americans. The novel "Song of Solomon" is based on various stories, myths and legends, particularly the Biblical "Song of Song", the myth of the flying African and the folk tale. The main message of the novel is to be close to the roots. The importance is the role of ethnic self-awareness in the formation and completeness of the personality. The article presents the ideology of the novel “Song of Solomon” through an analysis of its plot, characters, message and artistic expressions, in which the central idea is the connection of individual and ethnic identities. The author's message is presented in which the issue of preserving ethnic identity is central. The idea of ​​freedom is symbolized in the novel through a person's flight to his ethnic origins. Morrison equates the ideas of freedom and identity, and discusses the idea of ​​eternity. In today's rapidly changing world, when scientific and technological progress and globalization processes have a direct impact on the psychology and lifestyle of modern man, preserving identity can be considered one of the tasks facing humanity. Personal identity, which is also in demand along with ethnic identity, has become one of the vulnerable problems of the modern world, the solution of which depends on the issue of the existence of peoples with different cultures. Naturally, this problem is of greater concern to small countries, which find it more difficult to resist the pressure of globalization. The novel was also studied from the point of view of the methodology of magical realism, revealing features characteristic of this direction. The use of symbols is a feature of magical realism, which seems to help Toni Morrison convey the idea of ​​​​the work to the reader.

托尼-莫里森的《自由之歌》中身份与自由之间联系的主题
民间传说在非洲裔美国人的生活和文化中扮演着重要角色。小说《所罗门之歌》取材于各种故事、神话和传说,尤其是《圣经》中的 "歌谣"、非洲飞人神话和民间故事。小说传达的主要信息是要亲近根源。文章通过对小说《所罗门之歌》的情节、人物、信息和艺术表现形式的分析,介绍了这部小说的思想体系,其中的核心思想是个人身份和民族身份的联系。在作者传达的信息中,维护民族特性是核心问题。在小说中,自由的理念通过一个人逃离自己的民族血统得到了象征。莫里森将自由和身份的概念等同起来,并讨论了永恒的概念。当今世界瞬息万变,科技进步和全球化进程直接影响着现代人的心理和生活方式,维护身份认同可以说是人类面临的任务之一。个人身份认同与民族身份认同同样受到重视,它已成为现代世界的脆弱问题之一,其解决取决 于具有不同文化的民族的存在问题。当然,小国对这一问题更为关注,因为它们更难抵御全球化的压力。我们还从魔幻现实主义方法论的角度对这部小说进行了研究,发现了这一方向的特点。使用象征是魔幻现实主义的一个特点,这似乎有助于托尼-莫里森向读者传达作品的思想。
