Moon Lake’s Orphans and “The Other Way to Live” 月湖孤儿与《另一种生活方式》
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.8

This essay examines the roles the character Easter in “Moon Lake” plays in the context of early-twentieth-century debates about the roots of poverty and society’s level of responsibility to poor children. By placing the focus of the story not on Easter but on the genteel Morgana girls’ shifting attitudes about her, Welty illustrates the ways child welfare policy was shaped by conflicting attitudes, whereby sympathy for innocent children coexisted with scorn for their parents. Assuming that Easter lives outside the boundaries that mark their own places in Morgana’s gendered, class-bound, and racially-segregated society, Jinny Love Stark and Nina Carmichael imagine the “orphan” to embody a womanhood untethered by race or rank, one, perhaps, more representative of American democracy. Ultimately, though, the girls come to see that Easter’s status as an orphan makes her more marked by and vulnerable to the violence and oppression that shape the South’s racial patriarchy.
本文考察了《月湖》中人物复活节在二十世纪早期关于贫困根源和社会对贫困儿童责任水平的辩论中所扮演的角色。韦尔蒂没有把故事的焦点放在复活节上,而是放在文雅的莫甘纳女孩们对她态度的转变上,以此说明了儿童福利政策是如何被相互矛盾的态度所塑造的,对无辜儿童的同情与对父母的蔑视并存。假设伊斯特生活在莫甘娜的性别、阶级和种族隔离社会的界限之外,金妮·洛夫·斯塔克和尼娜·卡迈克尔想象“孤儿”体现了一种不受种族或等级束缚的女性,也许,更能代表美国民主。然而,女孩们最终意识到,伊斯特尔的孤儿身份使她更容易受到暴力和压迫的影响,也更容易受到这些暴力和压迫的影响,这些暴力和压迫形成了南方的种族父权制。

Welty’s Moonlighting Detective 威尔蒂的兼职侦探
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.14
Jacob Agner
This essay argues that Eudora Welty’s 1966 civil rights story, “The Demonstrators,” casts a spotlight on the “crime” of systemic racism in the U.S. South through the popular crime genre of American noir fiction and film. Although a mid-twentieth-century category mainly recognized for its depictions of dark cities and shadowy “mean streets,” noir’s stylized world collides with the Closed Society in Welty’s late story and throws into stark relief the subtler effects of white supremacy. Turning noir’s key traits on their head (e.g., black-and-white chiaroscuro lighting, the femme fatale, and the tropes of hard-boiled detective fiction), Welty throughout “The Demonstrators” brilliantly illuminates the subtle tactics of, and clues left behind by, criminalized acts of whiteness. In so doing, Welty’s masterful crime story pays homage to classic noir artists such as Dashiell Hammett, Chester Himes, and Alfred Hitchcock.
本文认为,尤多拉·韦尔蒂1966年的民权故事《示威者》通过美国黑色小说和电影中流行的犯罪类型,将美国南方系统性种族主义的“罪行”置于聚光灯下。虽然这是20世纪中期的一个类别,主要以描绘黑暗的城市和阴暗的“卑鄙的街道”而闻名,但黑色电影的风格化世界与韦尔蒂后期故事中的封闭社会发生了碰撞,并使白人至上主义的微妙影响得到了鲜明的体现。韦尔蒂颠覆了黑色小说的关键特征(例如黑白明暗对比的灯光、蛇蝎美人和冷酷的侦探小说的比喻),在《示威者》中,韦尔蒂出色地阐释了白人犯罪行为的微妙策略和留下的线索。通过这样做,韦尔蒂的犯罪故事向达希尔·哈米特、切斯特·海姆斯和阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克等经典黑色艺术家致敬。

The Lynched Earth 私刑横行的地球
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.6
Donnie McMahand, K. Murphy
Focusing first on Welty’s “A Worn Path” then Morrison’s Home, this chapter discusses the authors’ treatment of landscape, which reverberates with lingering touches of racialized violence and trauma, and identifies how black characters read and decode its various evocations. The characters’ ability to recognize trees as signposts of the lynched black male body demonstrates a political consciousness necessary for their survival. Trees in these works figure as totems of death and destruction and as potent life-forces, pointing expectantly toward survival and regeneration. Shifting from figurative burial to affirmative acts of intrusion and trespass, these texts’ protagonists defy the forces of immobilization and the stereotypical images of southern black women depicted in earlier pastoral formations. Ultimately, this chapter argues that Welty and Morrison reorient the apocalyptic visioning of the antipastoral by bending the arc toward resilience and resurrection, permitting their terrain to appear mutably as bleak and beautiful, frightening and futurist.
本章首先关注韦尔蒂的《破旧的小路》,然后是莫里森的《家》,讨论了作者对风景的处理,其中回荡着挥之不去的种族暴力和创伤,并确定了黑人角色如何阅读和解读其各种唤起。剧中人物能够认出树木是被私刑处死的黑人男性身体的标志,这表明了他们生存所必需的政治意识。这些作品中的树木既是死亡和毁灭的图腾,也是强大的生命力,预示着生存和再生。从象征性的埋葬转变为积极的入侵和侵入行为,这些文本的主角反抗固定的力量和早期田园作品中描绘的南方黑人妇女的刻板形象。最后,本章认为韦尔蒂和莫里森重新定位了反田园的世界末日愿景,将弧线弯曲到恢复和复活,允许他们的地形以荒凉、美丽、可怕和未来主义的方式变化。

For Crying Out Loud, or “The Truth Is Something Worse, I Ain’t Said What Yet” 为了大声哭泣,或者“真相更糟,我还没说什么”
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.10
R. Mark
We must at least consider the possibility that Eudora Welty’s African American characters are not just secret agents, oblique, liminal, spiritual, ironic, or even mysterious, as we might once have believed. While elements of each of these choices exist in Welty’s textual universe, we also have clear evidence of much less mediated African American rage, power, and artistic dominance. With howls (Exum, Powerhouse), pumped fists and knives (Man Son, Root M’Hook and others), icepicks (Ruby and Dove) piercing screams (Delilah), and banging pots (Luella), African American personae express an unsettling lexicon of narrative punctures that question conventional notions of plot and character development.
我们至少必须考虑到这样一种可能性,即尤多拉·韦尔蒂笔下的非裔美国人角色不只是秘密特工,不像我们曾经认为的那样,是隐晦的、模糊的、精神的、讽刺的,甚至是神秘的。虽然这些选择的元素都存在于韦尔蒂的文本世界中,但我们也有明确的证据表明,非裔美国人的愤怒、权力和艺术主导地位很少被调解。通过嚎叫(Exum, Powerhouse),挥舞着拳头和刀子(Man Son, Root M 'Hook和其他人),冰锥(Ruby和Dove),刺耳的尖叫声(Delilah)和敲打锅(Luella),非裔美国人的角色表达了一种令人不安的叙事刺痛词汇,质疑了传统的情节和角色发展观念。

Insiders, Outsiders, and Class Anxiety 局内人、局外人和阶级焦虑
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.12
Adrienne Akins Warfield
This chapter compares Welty’s “Where Is the Voice Coming From?” with Bob Dylan’s “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” exploring the relationship between class, racist violence, and regional identity through examining the common assumptions both artists shared about Medgar Evers’ murderer and his motivations. The essay argues that class anxiety manifests itself both in acts of racist violence like Beckwith’s and in artistic conceptualizations of such violence as the exclusive domain of the white Southern underclass. The chapter also analyzes the ways in which the revisions that Welty made to the story after Beckwith’s arrest were connected to the class status, Southern identity, and racial consciousness of the killer. The resemblances between Dylan’s and Welty’s responses to the Evers murder show that the tendency to associate racist violence with the economic resentments of lower-class whites is evidenced among both Northern “outsiders” and Southern “insiders.”
这一章比较了韦尔蒂的《声音从哪里来?》鲍勃·迪伦(Bob Dylan)的《他们游戏中的棋子》(Only a Pawn in Their Game),通过考察两位艺术家对谋杀梅加·埃弗斯(Medgar Evers)的凶手及其动机的共同假设,探索了阶级、种族主义暴力和地区认同之间的关系。这篇文章认为,阶级焦虑既表现在贝克威斯这样的种族主义暴力行为中,也表现在将这种暴力作为南方白人下层阶级的专属领域的艺术概念化中。这一章还分析了韦尔蒂在贝克威斯被捕后对故事的修改与凶手的阶级地位、南方身份和种族意识之间的联系。迪伦和韦尔蒂对埃弗斯谋杀案的回应之间的相似之处表明,将种族主义暴力与下层白人的经济怨恨联系起来的倾向,在北方的“局外人”和南方的“圈内人”中都有体现。

Ideology, Ethnicity, and Performativity in Eudora Welty’s Losing Battles 尤多拉·韦尔蒂《失败的战斗》中的意识形态、种族和表演
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.15
Stephen M. Fuller
This chapter evaluates Losing Battles as a response to Civil Rights ferment, regarding the novel broadly through the prisms of Eagletonian Marxism and speech act theory. The analysis argues that the text’s primary formal characteristic, its epic blending of scores of vocal performances, typically spoken by senior members of the Beecham-Renfro family, disseminates and enforces a range of ideological conformities, including but not limited to those policing ethnicity. Through the delivery of these speeches, characters engage inadvertently or otherwise in speech acts that traumatize and dominate and reproduce chauvinistic and belligerent cultural narratives. Namely, Losing Battles reveals the mechanism of Althusserian interpellation as it operates in southern culture; however, outsiders and even a few insiders escape the authority of received ideas and, therefore, reveal emancipatory potential.
本章通过伊格尔顿式马克思主义和言语行为理论的棱镜来评价这部小说,将其作为对民权运动的回应。分析认为,该文本的主要形式特征是,它史诗般的混合了大量的声乐表演,通常由比查姆-伦弗洛家族的高级成员发言,传播并加强了一系列意识形态的一致性,包括但不限于那些警察种族。通过这些演讲,人物不经意地或以其他方式参与了言语行为,这些行为造成了创伤,主导并再现了沙文主义和好战的文化叙事。也就是说,失败的战役揭示了阿尔都塞质询在南方文化中运作的机制;然而,局外人,甚至是少数局内人摆脱了既定观念的权威,从而显示出解放的潜力。

Faltering Narrative 摇摇欲坠的叙述
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.11
S. Donaldson
This chapter examines Eudora Welty’s rejection of the Cult of the Lost Cause and its veneration of the Civil War, a conflict she associated with the kind of narcissistic melancholia Judith Butler interrogates in Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence. Grief, Butler argues, can call one’s sense of self into question by providing potent reminders of the self’s dependence upon others and by unraveling the narratives that one begins to tell of oneself. Welty’s lone Civil War story “The Burning,” which closely parodies Gone with the Wind, juxtaposes the self-destructive grief of her southern white ladies who face rape and the destruction of their home with the illuminating mourning borne by their slave Delilah, who grieves for her own losses and for those of her masters, and in doing so signals a liberating break from the past and the possibilities of new identities and new stories.
本章考察了尤多拉·韦尔蒂对失败的信仰的拒绝和对内战的崇拜,她将这种冲突与朱迪思·巴特勒在《不稳定的生活:哀悼和暴力的力量》中所探究的那种自恋的忧郁联系在一起。巴特勒认为,悲伤可以通过强有力地提醒人们自我对他人的依赖,并通过瓦解一个人开始讲述自己的故事,从而使一个人的自我意识受到质疑。威尔蒂唯一的内战故事《燃烧》(The Burning)是对《乱世佳人》(Gone with The Wind)的模仿,它将面临强奸和家园被毁的南方白人女性的自我毁灭的悲伤,与她们的奴隶黛丽拉(Delilah)的悲恸并列,黛丽拉为自己和主人的损失而悲伤,这样做标志着与过去的解放,以及新身份和新故事的可能性。

Eudora Welty, Whiteness, and Race Reconsidered 尤多拉·韦尔蒂:《重新考虑白人与种族
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.4
H. Pollack
Responding to work begun in the 2013 collection Eudora Welty, Whiteness, and Race that mined and deciphered the complexity of her responses to the Jim Crow South, the thirteen diverse voices of New Essays on Eudora Welty, Class, and Race deepen, reflect on, and respond to those seminal discussions. As a group these essays draw added attention to the tangling, interdependent intersectionality in Welty’s portrayals of race, class, and gender––an interaction defining and configuring our American social structure and prominent American systems of disadvantage in both Welty’s time and our own. These essays and the collection as a whole help us to more clearly understand Welty’s artistic commentary on her time and place, and how it unfolded in her photography and fiction over a timespan (1930s—1960s) when the country as a whole was moving towards increased social awareness.
2013年出版的《尤多拉·韦尔蒂、白人与种族》一书挖掘并解读了她对南方种族歧视的复杂回应,《尤多拉·韦尔蒂、阶级与种族新论》一书以13种不同的声音深化、反思并回应了这些开创性的讨论。作为一个整体,这些文章让人们更加关注韦尔蒂对种族、阶级和性别的描述中错综复杂、相互依存的交叉性——一种相互作用,定义和配置了我们美国的社会结构,以及韦尔蒂时代和我们自己的美国突出的劣势制度。这些散文和整个作品集帮助我们更清楚地了解韦尔蒂对她所处的时代和地点的艺术评论,以及这些评论在她的摄影和小说中是如何在一个时间跨度(20世纪30年代至60年代)中展开的,当时整个国家正朝着提高社会意识的方向发展。

Specters on Staircases 楼梯上的幽灵
Pub Date : 2019-11-29 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctvs32r00.7
S. Ford
In William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, Eudora Welty’s Delta Wedding, and Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon characters enter haunted houses seeking information only to be confronted on the stairs by mysterious African American women. This essay explores what is at stake in the portrayals of African American specters standing on staircases and impeding other characters’ desire for knowledge. The gothic energy driving the repetition is the conflation of person and property that happens in slavery, causing these women not just to haunt the houses but to haunt as houses, as the status of property they were assigned because of their race. While this status renders the women in one sense powerless, each uses her situation as property to assert a different kind of possession, thereby becoming powerful specters. As property, the women testify to the horror of slavery. As specters, the women reveal how that horror haunts the present.
在威廉·福克纳的《押沙龙,押沙龙!》在尤多拉·韦尔蒂的《德尔塔婚礼》和托妮·莫里森的《所罗门之歌》中,人物进入鬼屋寻找信息,却在楼梯上遇到了神秘的非洲裔美国女性。这篇文章探讨了站在楼梯上阻碍其他角色对知识的渴望的非裔美国人幽灵的描绘所面临的危险。哥特式的能量推动了重复,这是在奴隶制中发生的人与财产的合并,导致这些女人不仅出没在房子里,而且出没在房子里,作为财产的地位,因为她们的种族而被分配。虽然这种地位在某种意义上使女性无能为力,但每个人都利用自己的地位作为财产来主张不同的占有,从而成为强大的幽灵。作为财产,妇女们见证了奴隶制的恐怖。作为幽灵,这些女人揭示了这种恐怖是如何困扰着现在的。

This essay explores what is at stake in the portrayals of African American specters standing on staircases and impeding other characters’ desire for knowledge. The gothic energy driving the repetition is the conflation of person and property that happens in slavery, causing these women not just to haunt the houses but to haunt as houses, as the status of property they were assigned because of their race. While this status renders the women in one sense powerless, each uses her situation as property to assert a different kind of possession, thereby becoming powerful specters. As property, the women testify to the horror of slavery.
