摘　　要：族性是美国非裔剧作家奥古斯特·威尔逊作品中的关键主题。在《海洋之珍》中,他运用阈限表征手法书写了非裔族性演变的三段式进程:塑造阈限人物,实现族性危机的具象化;构建阈限空间,为族性过渡提供场域;设置阈限仪式情节,助推族性融合。通过阈限与族性书写的结合,威尔逊强调非洲历史与传统文化对于族群延续的重要性,在表达对美国非裔族群生存状态强烈关切的同时,发出了对传承非裔族性的呼吁。Ethnicity is one of the major themes in the works of African American playwright August Wilson.In Gem of the Ocean,he applies the technique of liminal representation to depict the three-stage process of the evolution of African American ethnicity:portraying liminal character to visualize the ethnicity crisis;constructing liminal space to provide a field for the transition;and designing a liminal ritual plot to promote the incorporation.Through the combination of liminality and ethnicity,Wilson emphasizes the significance of African history and traditional culture for the persistence of ethnicity.He expresses his strong concern for the survival of African American community,and meanwhile makes an appeal for the inheritance of African ethnicity.
