代写英语硕士论文The Recovery of Blackness through Nature：An Ecofeminist Analysis of Beloved
 Abstract
The present research studies Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved from the perspective of ecofeminism. Ecofeminism aims to construct a new harmonious order that nature, colored peoples, and women are not taken as the inferior through reflecting and criticizing the aftermath of anthropocentricism and dualism. Through discussing how individual character in the novel breaks away from the bindings of white anthropocentricism and dualism in their search of black self identity, the author analyzed the role of Nature plays in their searching and struggling. Victimized like Nature in the white social paradigm, black people, both women and men, experience tremendous agony in the slavery system and great difficulties in their construct of selfhood. Downgraded as animals, they fight for their unique beings and search for the true meaning of manhood, womanhood, and motherhood in that society. Along with the individual salvation, the community they dwell in also gains salvation and becomes a supportive and nurturing environment for the members.
Besides introduction and conclusion, the thesis consists of four chapters. Information about Toni Morrison and Beloved is in the introduction section, Chapter 1 introduces the main ideas of ecofeminism and Toni Morrison’s ecofeminist thoughts. Chapter 2 analyzed the victimized status of Nature, black women, and black men in the anthropocentric dualism. Chapter 3 studied the recovery of black people’s selfhood under the guidance of Nature. Chapter 4 discussed the restoration of natural order in black community along with individual salvation. Then the author concluded the entire dissertation and pointed out directions for further research.

Keywords: Beloved; ecofeminism; anthropocentricism; dualism.

摘要
本文从生态女性主义角度出发，研究了托妮•莫里森的小说《宠儿》。生态女性主义致力于建构一个人与自然，人与人能够消除对立、和谐共生的新秩序，批评人类中心主义和二元对立思想体系所引发的种族、性别歧视。在人类中心主义和二元对立的体系中，人与自然，男性与女性，白人和有色人种，是出于对立的位置，前者视后者为“他者”并统治后者。因此，要构建新的社会生态秩序，就必须消解人类中心主义和二元对立思想的影响。《宠儿》中的人物正是在与自然的密切联系中消解了这种消极影响并逐步的获得真实的自我。本文对这一过程加以分析和研究，并指出个人的救赎和社区的救赎对构建这一新秩序都至关重要。
本文除引言和结论部分还包括4个章节。 引言部分介绍了研究背景，简要回顾了国内外学者对《宠儿》的研究。第一章简述了生态女性主义的主要思想和莫里森的生态女性主义倾向。第二章探讨了自然、黑人女性和黑人男性在人类中心、二元对立体系中所处的受害者地位。第三章紧密结合小说主要人物的救赎之旅，探讨他们如何在自然的指引下寻找自我。第四章分析了个人的救赎造就的和谐的两性关系和社区的复苏。结论部分总结全文并指出其他的研究方向。
