The womanist thinking initiated by Alice Walker not only represents her philosophical stance, but also imbues her literary writings with womanist characteristics. The pursuit of “the survival and wholeness of entire people” is the essence of Walker’s womanism, which permeates all of her writings so that her literary production demonstrates a unique artistic style with aesthetic implications. The patched quilt, known as a symbol of the artistic form of Walker’s womanist writings, is featured with the achievements of a whole by means of a fragmented and patched form. It also embodies the thematic structure in Walker’s writings which is presented in a clearly outlined pattern of “fragmented–piecing–wholeness.” By exploring the themes that constitute the thematic pattern in Walker’s writings, this paper points out that the fragmented–piecing–wholeness structure of womanist themes conveys hope for those who are oppressed by sexism and racism and those who are uncertain of their own destiny. Alice Walker has succeeded in combining her ideological content with artistic forms, and her womanist writings have not only enhanced the value of the culture of American blacks, but have also enriched literary ways of expression.

补丁被子：爱丽丝沃克女性主义作品中的主题模式

爱丽丝·沃克开创的女性主义思想，不仅代表了她的哲学立场，也使她的文学作品充满了女性主义的特征。对“整个人的生存和整体”的追求是沃克女性主义的精髓，这种女性主义渗透在她的所有作品中，使她的文学创作表现出独特的艺术风格和审美意蕴。被称为沃克女性主义作品艺术形式的象征的拼布被以碎片化和拼凑的形式表现出整体的成就。它也体现了沃克作品中的主题结构，以“碎片-拼接-整体”的清晰轮廓模式呈现。通过探索构成沃克作品主题模式的主题，本文指出，女性主义主题的碎片化-拼接-整体结构为那些被性别歧视和种族主义压迫的人以及那些对自己的命运不确定的人传达了希望。爱丽丝·沃克成功地将她的思想内容与艺术形式相结合，她的女性主义作品不仅提升了美国黑人文化的价值，也丰富了文学表达方式。
