斯蒂芬·克莱恩的《怪兽》直接且尖锐地反映了19世纪末期美国白人和黑人的关系建构问题。本文结合男性气质和种族话语的互动关系,着重探讨作品中黑人主人公刻板形象所具有的新黑人特质,认为作品以白人性为基调,突出了黑人男性气质的他性表演及其在白人男性气质重构中的他性作用,隐含了克莱恩对19世纪90年代美国社会在白人男性气质重构和种族他者现代化进程中的矛盾交锋现实的思考。 Steven Klein’s “monster” directly and sharply reflects the question of the construction of the relationship between white and black Americans in the late nineteenth century. Combining the interaction between masculinity and racial discourse, this thesis focuses on the new black characters possessed by stereotypes of black protagonists in his works, and holds that his work, based on whiteness, highlights his masculine performances of black masculinity and its emphasis on male masculinity His sexual role implies Klein’s thinking on the confrontation between American society in the process of reconstructing the masculinity of white men and the modernization of the racial other in the 1890s.
