يهدف البحث إلى تقديم قراءة ما بعد الحداثية لروايتي الكاتبة الأمريكية توني موريسون المحبوبة (1987) وأغنية سليمان (1977) عن طريق تتبع مفهوم تشيئ الذات والذي يرتبط بنظرية ما بعد الحداثة، تلك النظرية التي تتضمن التأكيد على الشخصية اللامركزية وعلى إعطاء الفرصة للمهمشين للتعبير عن أنفسهم. يتناول البحث الأثر النفسي الذي تركته تجربة العبودية على الأشخاص الافرو امريكين قبل وبعد تحريرهم. يركز البحث على الطرق التي اتبعها السادة البيض لبعث الشعور بالدونية في نفوس عبيدهم والحرص على زرعه في نفوس عبيدهم والحرص على زرعه في نفوسهم لدرجة أنهم أصبحوا يروا أنفسهم تماما كما يراهم سادتهم، مجرد أشياء.
The research aims at a postmodern reading of Toni Morrison’s novels Beloved and Song of Solomon concentrating on self-objectification as a postmodern domineering term. Since postmodernism as a tendency focuses on relocating the marginalized and on defying the binary opposition that used to be held between the self and the other, one would find in the African American literature a fertile field for discussion. Here, the self/other dichotomy is more specified to the white/black superior/inferior complex. Again, it is in the postmodern emphasis on restoring past and questioning a present in which man is alienated and isolated that Morrison’s Beloved and Song of Solomon prove ideal since they address a past that, though finished, is still hovering over people’s lives and future. The research tackles the ways Black people were held under a cruel system that worked on developing in them a sense of self-objectification which they could not get rid of, even after emancipation. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part looks into the experience of physical slavery before the Emancipation while the second looks into the experience of spiritual slavery that emanates directly from the former one trying to relate the two experiences proving the second to be as painful as the first.
