Abstract
For decades, Toni Morrison has been one of the most prominent African American writers, whose lifelong dedication mirrors in redefining the laws of (in)equality via rich literary opus. By analyzing her novels The Bluest Eye and A Mercy, this thesis’ primary aim is to explore the construction of the black identity in relation to the concepts of trauma, ugliness and dominant beauty standards. The historic construction of the black identity as investigated by Toni Morrison is being successfully merged with other significant scholars’ arguments. The identity theories proposed by Stephanie Lawler, as well as Franz Fanon’s psychoanalytic theory, Henri Tajfel’s social identity theory and finally, Ron Eyerman’s cultural trauma theory serve as a background for the analysis of Morrison’s work.
Abstract (croatian)
Toni Morrison se desetljećima smatra jednom od najutjecajnijih afroameričkih spisateljica čija se cjeloživotna posvećenost ogleda u redefiniranju zakona (ne)jednakosti kroz bogati književni opus. Analizom djela Oko savršeno modro i Neka vrsta milosti, primarna svrha ovog diplomskog rada jest istražiti formiranje identiteta u crnaca na koje uvelike utječu trauma, ružnoća i dominantni standardi ljepote. Kroz proučavanje konstrukcije crnačkog identiteta, Morrison se oslanja i na diskusije drugih relevantnih akademika. Kao podloga za detaljnu analizu gore navedenih djela poslužit će teorije identiteta Stephanie Lawler, psihoanalitička teorija Frantza Fanona, socijalna teorija identiteta Henrija Tajfela te teorija kulturne traume autora Rona Eyermana.
