摘要
在美国华裔作家伍慧明的处女作《骨》中,空间书写是作者建构华裔文化身份的手段。小说中不同世代或背景的华裔对于唐人街的不同态度,体现出他们在中美两种文化之间所做出的选择。就小说而言,老一辈的华裔移民宁愿固守在唐人街的狭窄空间中,体现出他们对于中国文化传统的留恋。新一代的华裔却对唐人街有着更为复杂的情感,两位妹妹在困境中选择了死亡或自我流放,体现了她们对于身份的困惑。而小说的叙述者莱拉最终在出走和坚守之间做出妥协,选择在华人社区与白人社会接壤的边土地带生活。因此,本文试图通过探讨不同人物的空间选择,深入剖析空间与文化身份之间的对应关系,以及边土地带对于华裔移民建构混杂性文化身份和主体性的重要意义。
In the novel Bone,Chinese American writer Fae Myenne Ng has employed the space as the major means to construct the Chinese American cultural identities.The Chinese immigrants from different generations and backgrounds take up diverse attitudes to the Chinatown,which reflect their choices between Chinese and American cultures.The first generation prefers to be confined to the Chinatown,which shows their attachment to traditional Chinese culture.The second generation,however,has more complicated feelings.Nina and Ona go to the extremes,while the narrator of Leila compromises and settles down in the borderland between Chinatown and American mainstream society.Thus this thesis attempts to explore the space writings and the profound meaning of borderland for constructing the Chinese American hybrid cultural identities and subjectivity.
