摘　　要：美国非裔剧作家奥古斯特·威尔逊致力于建构基于黑人经验的非裔文化共同体,用戏剧空间探索白人权力话语下非裔文化身份认同的建构策略。在《海洋之珍》中,威尔逊创造了文化内涵丰富的“庇护所”空间,展现了黑人经验的生活方式、价值取向和精神信仰,为建构非裔文化身份认同提供了重要支撑。本文借鉴人文地理学视角,从实用空间、迷思空间和抽象空间三个维度分析庇护所蕴含的丰富的文化特征,梳理黑人经验在物理空间、社会关系和文化想象等层面的具体表现,阐明威尔逊戏剧空间与非裔文化身份认同的复杂关系。August Wilson devoted his works to constructing an African American cultural community based on black experience,exploring in the dramatic space feasible strategies for African American cultural identity construction under white power's dominant discourse.In Gem of the Ocean,Wilson created a"sanctuary"with rich cultural content,and presented African American way of life,values and spirituality,offering substantial support to the construction of African American cultural identity.Drawing on human geography,this article analyzes various cultural characteristics embodied in the sanctuary from three dimensions-the pragmatic,mythical and abstract spaces,clarifies the concrete manifestations of black experience in physical space,social relation,and cultural imagination,and explicates the complex relationship between August Wilson's dramatic space and African American cultural identity.
