摘要   雖然有不少批評家都已注意到<<最湛藍的眼睛>>裏,藍眼睛等於自人文化霸權的象徵,並指出黑人角色長期籠罩在自人文化霸權下已嚴重喪失自我意識,或淪為白人文化的附庸,但卻少有批評家進一步探究小說中關於眼睛、視覺、圖騰、媒體、及各種看與被看的權力運作機制。因此本論文試圖以傅柯的權力論述為主軸,探討<<最湛藍的眼睛>>中各種不同的看與被看權力運作方式及其影響範圍。
       本論文分為五章。第一章解析權力與主體(人的凝視動作或圖案圖騰的反視),及凝視機制策略的系統性控制關係,分為四大項討論:計有「真理」的凝視、全景監視、男性凝視、及女性凝視反撲。第二章進入文本本身,以「真理」的凝視討論小說中自人文化以何種管道滲透及矮化黑人角色,使後者淪為自人文化的附庸。第三章探討小說中出現的學校、醫院、電影院、及白人雇傭家庭實則具備「全景監視監獄」之特點,因此發生於以上場景的事件,均能顯著地改變黑人角色的人格及行為。第四章討論女性凝視。在父權壓制的小說社會裏,「看」的特權隸屬男性;唯有勇敢操練如何看的技巧、及看自己想看的人、事、物的女性,才能建構較健康的自我及自己的世界觀。第五章則說明男性凝視的優勢並未被偶發的女性凝視所瓦解;如同千年惡靈,男性凝視持續吞噬著女性的身體和靈魂。
  Though critics have generally noticed that in The Bluest Eye, "the blue eye" stands for a metaphor for the white cultural domination, and that the black characters exposed to such a cultural hegemony are twisted and diminished, yet few of them further explore the overflowing issues concerning eyes, vision, icon, media, and the various seeing/seen relationships with specific functioning mechanisms. Therefore, I decide to pursue the sundry power functions within these seeing/seen relationships (gaze/gazed impacts), on the ground of Foucault`s discourse of power.
       The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the First Chapter, I bring about my classifications of the gaze according to the different gazing agents (a human act of gaze, or an icon featuring in the media to gaze back), and the strategies of gaze, i.e., Foucault`s idea of the panoptic prison is actually a giant gazing machine with meticulous control system. The gaze is categorized into four sections: the gaze of the "Truth," the panoptic gaze, the male gaze, and the female gaze back. In the Second Chapter, I employ the gaze of the "truth" to discuss about how the white culture infuses and dwarfs the blacks in the novel, propelling them into becoming the parasites to the white cultural hegemony. In Chapter Three, I argue that the elementary school, hospital, movie theater, and the white hostess`s household are places functioning as a panoptic prison. Since the black characters suffer severe changes similar to those of the prisoners in a panoptic prison intended for surveillance and rehabilitation. The Fourth Chapter is on female gaze. In a patriarchal society, the rights of looking and gazing are usually reserved for the male, while a decent woman is usually admonished of casting her eyes downwards for modesty. Only those women exercising their skills of looking and gazing, to see what appeals to them are more likely to establish a wholesome self. In Chapter Five, I analyze that the privileged male gaze still remains recalcitrant despite of the sparse female gaze back. Like a haunting evil, the male gaze lingers to devour the female body and soul.
