AThematicResearchonBytheLightofMyFather’sSmileBasedonQueerTheory摘要：小说《父亲的微笑之光》是美国黑人女作家爱丽丝·沃克的力作之一。作品对种族歧视、父权专制和白人主流文化的批判使其成为读者争议的焦点。本文结合酷儿批判理论要素，着重分析作品人物形象与复杂的性爱关系，充分理解作品颠覆异性恋传统机制和消除文化歧视压迫的创作意蕴。通过探讨作品中主要人物情节在酷儿理论视阈下表达出的后殖民男权社会文化批判意蕴，揭示女性性别群落的生存抗争，以及边缘文化与主流文化的冲突与融合的重大意义。关键词：《父亲的微笑之光》；酷儿理论；同性恋Abstract:ThenovelBytheLightofMyFather’sSmileisoneofthemasterpiecesofAfro–AmericanwomanwriterAliceWalker.Thecriticismofracialdiscrimination,patriarchalautocracyandthemainstreamofthewhiteculturemadeitacontroversialfocusforreaders.Basedonthequeertheory,theauthorofthepaperintendedtoanalyzethecomplexsexualloverelationshipinthework,andfullyunderstandthemeaningofasubversiontothetraditionalheterosexualityandthedispellingofculturediscrimination.Throughtheexplorationofthemeaningofculturecriticisminthepost–colonialpatriarchalsocietyfromtheperspectiveofqueertheory,theauthorintendedtorevealtheresistanceforlivingoffemalecommunity,andaffirmthegreatsignificanceoftheconflictionandintegrationofthemarginalcultureandthemainstreamculture.Keywords:BytheLightofMyFather’sSmile;queertheory;homosexuality1IntroductionAliceWalker,authorofBytheLightofMyFather’sSmile,wasborninGeorgia,America.Herpoorandarduouschildhoodcultivatedherstrongandindependentcharacter,andherlivingenvironmentenabledhertofamiliarwiththeAfro–Americans’lifeinthesouth,whichaccumulatedauthenticmaterialsforherlatercreation(Hooks,2003).Walkerpaidmuchattentiontothelivingsituationofblackwomenandexpressedherhumanityofseekingcompletionofheartandsoul.Shehopedtochangethemiserablelifeoftheblackswithherpenandarousedcareandrespectforblacksinthewholesociety.Shewroteaboutthehistoryinbloodandtearsoftheblacks,relatedtheirbraveandlaboriousspirit,attackedthevariousunfairnessandsuppressioninthetraditionalsocietyandputherexpectationtoanidealandharmonioussociety.WalkerenjoyedaspecialpositioninthehistoryofAmericaliterature.AsthefirstblackwomanwritertowinPulitzerPrize,hermadeagreatcontributiontoblackwomenliterature.Atpresent,Walkerisstillbeingactiveintheliteratu
