7、 月 日XXXX大学本科生毕业论文（设计）文献综述Literature ReviewPublished in 1952, Ralph Ellisons Invisible Man has been acclaimed by a growing line of commentators writing in various critical tongues: structuralists, formalists, psychological critics, folklore and myth critics (OMeally, 1980:78). Ralph Ellison has paint
8、ed us a three-new-picture of modern life in the United States. Nathan A.Scott Jr. In Ellisons Vision of Communitas locates Invisible Man in a line of twentieth-century modernist fictions, which have been organized toward the end of envisaging new forms of life for soul(2004).Studies on Invisible Man
9、 AbroadRalph Ellison is a black writer, so a lot of critics have studied the theme of identity in Invisible Man, for example, Tonny Tanners 1971 study of the the contemporary American novel, City of Words, devotes a full chapter to Invisible Man, claiming that it is the most profound novel about Ame
10、rican identity written since World War II. Robert G.OMeallys The Rules of Magic: Hemingway as Ellisons Ancestor is an extended mediation on Ellisons famous statement that while a writer cannot choose his relatives, he can, indeed must choose his ancestors (2004). Many critics have also paid attentio
11、n to the unique structure of the novel. Kennth Burke in his essay Ralph Ellisons Trueblooded Bildingsroman traces the invisible mans progression toward mastery in a way compatible with his own pattern of “purpose, passion, perception” words Ellison wrote on the typescripts of Invisible Man to denote
12、 the novels movement and structure(2004) and, William Schafers 1968 article, Ralph Ellison and the Birth of the Anti-Hero, carefully explores the novels intricate plot patterns as a four-part spiritual quest beginning with the heros false sense of emancipation and ending with a disintegration of the
13、 self. The protagonist of Invisible Man has got a unique position in the novel, which has also caught the attention of some critics. In The Meaning of Narration in Invisible Man, Valerie Smith(2004) explores the Invisible Mans “double consciousness of reliving ones story as both narrator and protago
14、nist”(209). Alain Locke praises Ellison for his three-dimensional characterizations, his brilliant use of irony, and his comprehensive and penetrating vision of race in America(2000). Some critics have analyzed Invisible Man from post-modernistic point of view, for instance, Alan Nadels Invisible Cr
15、iticism(1988) makes extensive use of postmodernist critical theory to reveal how Invisible Man deconstructs twentieth century notions of American tradition, culture and identity, which reduce minorities to “invisibility” and marginality and Keith Byerman in Fingering the Jagged Grain (1985) examines
16、 in meticulous detail the dialectical narrative patterns in Invisible Man, arguing their ability to generate new ideas. John F.Callahan is really an expert in studying Ralph Ellison. His In the African-American Grain (1988) provides another provocative and nuanced probing of Ellisons sophisticated u
17、se of black folk art to enrich twentieth century writing. In Invisible Man Ellison not only uses thematic motifs from the blues and folk tales but also skillfully employs a “call-and -response” technique which is central to black sermons and vernacular speech. In another essay Ellisons Invisible Man
18、 Callahan attempts to show the inspired revisions behind the open-ended questioning form of the epilogue, especially the invisible mans last concluding questioning (or challenge), which is addressed to everyone who reads the novel, no matter what that individuals time, place or identity is. And fina
19、lly, Ralph Ellison has strongly been influenced by Russian novelist Dostoevsky. William Barret in American Memory compares Invisible Man with important masterworks of European modernism such as Celines(1894-1961) Journey to the End of the Night(1932) and Dostoevskys (1821-1881) Notes from the Underg
20、round (1863)(2000). Dostoevskys strong influence on Ellison is carefully documented in important articles written by Joseph Frank who draws revealing parallels between the cultural source of alienation expressed in Notes from the Underground and Invisible Man.Studies on Invisible Man in ChinaThere a
21、re also a lot of critics studying Invisible Man in China, though most of them only translate the foreign materials into Chinese. Zhang Xiuming has studied its symbolic artistic features(1998) and Li Jiancang in 2004 studied the use of symbolism by Ralph Ellison in Invisible Man, such as structure sy
22、mbolism, character symbolism, the symbolism of “invisible” and “identity” and other symbolism at the language level. In 1998 Wang Lili made a comprehensive study on the theme, symbolism, and artistic features of the novel. Chen Xizhi(2002) has explored Invisible Man from a stylistic viewpoint thus f
23、inding new meanings from the novel. For its narrative style, both Wang Fengzhen(1999) and Lin Yan(2002) have studied it in detail. Wang Fengzhen has highly praised the unique narrative pattern and combination of realism and surrealism in Invisible Man. Lu Shan(2002) and Xu Haiyan(2001) has analyzed
24、the identity theme of the novel and, in 2006, Wang Wei exerted an existential approach to identity in Invisible Man. Professor Tan Huijuan from Zhejiang Univesity has studied Ralph Ellison and Invisible Man comprehensively. The artistic features, the identity problem, the symbolism and the theme of
25、the novel have all been studied by her. What is more, she has studied the great influence of Freuds psychobiological analysis on Ralph Ellison(2004). Other writers have also studied Invisible Man in their works from their own viewpoints, such as Fu Jingchuan(1996), Yang Renjing(2000), and Mao Xinde(
26、2004). And recently, some scholars have paid attention to the artistic features of the novel in detail. Chen Lanxun has in her article The Irony of Invisible Man analyzed its verbal irony, situational irony and structural irony(2007). The use of satire in Invisible Man is explored by Dong Ying. She
27、points out that satire provides profound meaning by simple words and exposes that there is, as a matter of fact, great injustice in the racist American society(2007).Conclusion Yet few people have paid serious attention to its dialogic features. Since the publication of Bakhtins major works on philo
28、sophy, linguistics, and literature, such as The Dialogic Imagination(1981), Problems of Dostoevskys Poetics(1984), Speech Henre and other later essays, dialogic theory, or dialogism, has become a newly independent critical weapon. It has greatly influenced the literary circle in the west. “The histo
29、ry of Bakhtins reception suggests that if we are to continue to think about his work in a way that is useful, some synthetic means must be found for categorizing the different ways he meditated on dialogue” (Holquist, 1990;15), it is obvious that dialogue is the most important key to the assumptions
30、 that guided Bakhtins work throughout his while career. The famous critic, Berndt Ostendorf(1986), has also witnessed the influence of Bakhtin on Ralph Ellison. He has observed, “a case could be made for a family resemblance between Ellison and Mikhail Bakhtin, whose understanding of the novel as a
31、dialogic form with a polyphony of voice comes to mind”(151). And in China Lu Shan has also studied the identity problem of the novel based on polyphony theory of Bakhtin.本科生毕业论文题目： 论看不见的人 中主人公的自我迷失和自我发现 作者姓名 XXX 指导教师 XX 所在学院 XXX学院 专业（系） 机器翻译 班级（届） XXXX届 完成日期 XXX 年 5 月 8 日 Analysis of the Narrators S

It was for sixteen weeks that it remained on the
41、 bestseller list, won the National Book Award for fiction, though it was a novel by an unknown writer, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the landmark writers of the century. Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison embodies the universal theme of self-discovery, of the search to figure out who one truly
42、 is in life; at the same time it explores one road to lead one to go into himself. Ralph Ellison was one of the most popular black writers in the history of American literature and he was considered as father of African-American modernism. He had made a great contribution both to African-American li
43、terature and the whole American literary creation. He was born in a black family in Oklahoma locating in the middle south of America in 1914. His father was Lewis Alfred, a building worker and smaller retailer. He named his son Ralph Waldo Ellison after Ralph Waldo Emerson, a renowned American poet and philosopher in the 19th century, hoping Ellison would be a successful man in literary. His mother was a domestic servant who also hoped her son to be a man of high credit. She used to bring books to her son from the family s
