摘要:: 作为一个具有多重意义和研究价值的概念，“家”是当代文学作品和研究的一个重要主题。在小说《家》中，托尼·莫里森再一次以文学的形式探索了她所关注的“家”与“种族”的问题。从创伤研究的视角来看，《家》中的“家”在房屋居所和家庭关系的层面上参与、见证或引发了给主人公弗兰克兄妹带来各种创伤的事件,可被视为他们的“创伤之地”。通过“回家”旅行中的“叙述”和“见证”，弗兰克兄妹直面个人创伤和种族创伤并成功地达到了自我疗愈，他们“回家”的过程也是他们疗愈创伤之旅。他们的“回家”和疗愈表现了莫里森在晚年坚信美国黑人能够直面并治疗个体创伤和种族创伤的乐观理想。

Abstract:: As a concept of multiple meanings and research significances, “home” has been an important subject in modern literary works and literary studies. In Home, Toni Morrison explores the problems of “home” and “race” again in the form of literature. Viewing from the perspective of trauma studies, the “home” in this novel can be called as a field of trauma because, being places of residence and family relationship, it either participates in or witnesses or causes the trauma incidents in Frank’s and Cee’s lives. By “narrating” and “witnessing” their journey of “going home”, Frank and Cee choose to face their individual and racial trauma and get recovered successfully. Their successful experiences of “going home” and recovery reveal Morrison’s belief that American black people are able to face and cure their individual and racial trauma.
