摘　　要：作为在美国特定历史时期下产生的文学形式,非裔奴隶叙事和印第安掳猎叙事在发生机制上都包含"掳猎-救赎"的元素。《已知的世界》是全面聚焦内战前美国南方多样化蓄奴制生活的长篇小说,其对"掳猎-救赎"元素的改写,体现于琼斯对汤森父子在临界状态和双声系统下的经验重构、及约翰·斯奇冯顿和黑人奴隶的信仰救赎之中。小说通过多元的冲突设置,揭示了蓄奴制对(白人和黑人)各阶层群体从身体到精神、信仰到灵魂的禁锢和扭曲,从而实现了对白人"大写历史"中选择性霸权与一元价值观的挑战。Both the African-American slave narrative and the Indian captivity narrative, as the literary forms produced in specific American historical periods, contain elements of "captivity-redemption". The Known World focuses on the various slaves’ life in the antebellum southern United States. Its rewriting of the "captivity – redemption" elements is embodied in the reconstructed experiences of Henry Townsend and Augustus Townsend under the liminal states and bivocal systems, as well as the spiritual redemption of John Skeffington and many black slaves. Through the multi-faceted settings of conflicts, the novel reveals the imprisonment and distortion of slavery imposed upon the body and spirit of both white and black people, which challenges the selective hegemony and singular values in the white "History".
