摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 威廉·加德纳·史密斯在《石头面孔》里从去人性化、敌意想象和群体迷思三个方面描写了美国和法国社会发展中的路西法效应,揭示了人在系统力量和情境力量的高压下所遭遇的生存窘境和伦理认知窘境,抨击了种族主义者和女权践踏者的暴行。他以美国黑人和巴黎客居者的双重身份,探索种族偏见和种族歧视的地域性和非理性,并且通过对欧洲种族状况的描写来反思美国的种族问题,揭露种族主义的反人类性,认为种族主义者在剥夺受害者人权的同时,自己也丧失了人性,沦为人类文明的敌人。

Abstract: In The Stone Face, William Gardner Smith explores the Lucifer effects in American and French societies from the problems of dehumanization, hostility in imagination and groupthink and reveals the dilemma of human existence and ethical cognition under the pressure of systematic and situational forces, denouncing the brutalities of racists and sexists. As an American Black and a settler in Paris, he probes into the locality and unreasonableness of racial prejudice and discrimination and then gains a profound consideration of American race problems, disclosing racists' anti-human nature in his delineation of race situations in Europe. Racists lose their humanity and become the destroyers of human civilization when they divest the victims of their human rights.

Key words: William Gardner Smith, The Stone Face, Lucifer effects, evil
