摘　　要： 本文运用文化地理学的视角和叙事空间的相关理论，聚焦于黑人男女主人公森·格林和吉丁·柴尔兹关系的变化和对文化的选择，分析由故事和话语建构的不同文化空间，旨在探索托妮·莫里森在《柏油孩子》中对当代黑人自我定位的思考。 本文从文化空间的构成、体验以及重建展开研究。首先介绍作者、作品、相关研究以及本研究的理论基础。同时，围绕作品背景定义文化空间以展开下文。主体部分首先选取主人公相遇的地点，即加勒比海上的一座私人小岛，旨在突出黑人种族在心理倾向，地理环境以及视角三方面构造的内部分歧。之后通过呈现两人在美国大陆黑人和白人空间的游走的主线，分析了当代时空的压缩对黑人文化体验和亲密关系的影响。此外，对莫里森在文化空间重构的三个层次（即地理、心理以及情节）进行挖掘，突出黑人反抗精神对于当代文化空间重建的意义。最后是本文的结论，即莫里森重建的具有多样性、开放性的文化空间是现代黑人所追求的家园，这也是《柏油孩子》的现实意义所在。 By focusing on Son Greens and Jadine Childs’ changing relation and culturalchoices, this thesis explores the construction of cultural spaces on the bi-levels ofstory and discourse space in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby with the help of culturalgeographic perspective and narrative space theories, in order to find out the author’scultural concern over the Black’s self-location in the contemporary context. The research is carried out from configuration, experiences in and reconstructionof cultural spaces in the novel. It starts by introducing Tar Baby, its author andrelevant reviews, the theoretical basis for narrative space study and significantly, thedefinition of cultural space as the starting point of the research. The main body firstlycaptures the white-dominated Caribbean cultural space where two protagonists meetunder the division configured in blacks’ mind-sets, locations and perspectives. Then itshifts to their journeys in mainland America, where they experience intimaterelationship but end with separation due to the inexorable mobility of contemporarylife. The thesis also tries to track Morrison’s reconstructive efforts condensed in theidea of resistance in geographical formation, psychological restoration and plot design.Based on above analysis, the thesis concludes with a review on the diversity andopenness of black cultural space, the home-place, for blacks to be located at.
