摘　　要：弗兰纳里·奥康纳的处女作《智血》中存在较多“物”元素,但以往研究大多忽略了作者对物身份建构功能的深刻描绘。家庭成员遗留的物品具体表征了人物离家后对故园生活的怀旧情感,同时与身体紧密相关,具有“物性”的人体更表明了奥康纳对女性作为精神与物质统一体的矛盾观点;为迎合城市逻辑,乡村移民试图借助古物和艺术品实施仪式操演,实现自我跃升;南方白人通过消费附加了种族主义和排外主义符号的物,在心理上缓解了因南方边界遭遇突破而带来的种族身份危机,进一步固化了种族优越论。Myriad“things”can be found in Flannery O’Connor’s debut novel,Wise Blood.However,the former research tends to neglect the author’s reflections on things’function in terms of identity construction.Things left by former generations represent the representation of characters’nostalgic feelings after leaving their homes,but they also imply the correlation between things and human bodies.Furthermore,this correlation shows the ambiguity of O’Connor’s attitude towards the female’s identity of being a unity of both materiality and spirituality.Besides,the rural migrants endeavor to cater to the logic of the city through rituals with antiques and works of art to become successful.By consuming things with the symbols of racism and nativism attached to them,white people in the American South psychologically relieve the strenuous identity crisis brought about by the breach in the southern border,further solidifying their racial superiority.
