토니 모리슨의 『재즈』 : 상실과의 화해

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to examine Toni Morrison’s consistent struggle of remaining whole in this incomplete world in which human beings’ freedom has been restricted. Her job for the truth is to recover the past and re-envision the future by exorcising the trauma, both personal and historic. She makes the African American history including traditional black music and their experiences condensed to the individual and manifested his or her self image in her novels especially through women who suffered from triple discrimination in terms of race, sex, and class. Jazz deals with the transformation of tragic relationship of a love triangle. Morrison explores African Americans’ sorrows, secrets and violent past, tracing their inside cracks caused by the cutoff from ancestors and family. Morrison uses the improvisational quality of jazz music as a narrative strategy to make Jazz a talking book. As Joe and Violet reconstruct their identity through struggling married life, Morrison shows healing process to those who survive the violent confrontation with the repressed past. In conclusion, Morrison exorcises black people’s cycle of trauma in generations and each of them comes to realize the power of his own voice in the process of healing, transformation and insight by narrating his life and defining himself as a subject. Morrison discovers and celebrates the dynamic force and firm determination that have enabled generations of African American to survive.
