【摘要】：黄玉雪(1922-2006)是美国重要少数族裔作家,被汤婷婷誉为“华裔美国文学之母”。其著作《华女阿五》,是华裔美国文学的开山作,也是最早拥有大量美国读者的华裔小说之一。该小说以自传体形式,反映二十世纪上半叶一个华裔美籍少女玉雪为事业奋斗成功的历程。主人公作为少数族裔,中国文化与美国文化的差异致使她对生活处境迷茫不解。面临祖国本土文化与美国文化抉择问题,她陷入身份建构困境。为呈现主人公身份建构的客观性,本文运用后殖民作家赛义德的东方主义理论、斯皮瓦克的“属下”理论和霍米巴巴的杂糅身份理论,采用定性分析和文本细读法,以主人公与中国传统文、美国主流文化的冲突、交融为切入点,对其身份建构困境从以下三个方面进行解读。第一,玉雪在建构身份时遇到的困境。玉雪夹杂在中美文化间,一方面作为“他者”,受到美国在教育和工作上的种族歧视;另一方面作为“属下”,在美国人和家人中“失语”,陷入女性身份建构困境。第二,玉雪身份建构的文化语境的现实性。玉雪自小生活在中美文化杂糅环境中,深受中美食物、中美教育、中美思想的影响,无法完全舍弃中国文化或者美国文化,不顾现实生存环境,生存在文化孤岛上,所以最终自然而然地选择了杂糅身份建构。第三,玉雪身份建构的历程及意义。受杂糅文化影响,玉雪结合中美文化优势,踏上寻求“美国梦”之路,逐梦过程中,她解构了对立的东构西方文化模式,表明“属下”可以说话,成功改写文化身份,重塑华裔美国人形象。通过对玉雪身份建构困境、现实性、历程及其意义的分析,研究表明:后殖民及全球化语境下,少数族裔面对身份困境时,应去除中美文化糟粕,吸取中美文化精华,塑造杂糅身份;构建杂糅身份符合时代要求。
[Abstract]:Huang Yuxue (1922-2006) is an important American minority writer and is praised by Tang Tingting as "the mother of Chinese American Literature". His book, "five women in China", is the opening of Chinese American literature, and is one of the first Chinese American novels to have a large number of American readers. In the form of autobiography, the novel reflects the success of a Chinese American girl, jade snow, in the first half of the twentieth Century. As a minority, the difference between Chinese culture and American culture makes her confused about the situation of life. Facing the local culture of the motherland and the choice of American culture, she is trapped in the dilemma of identity construction. To show the hero objectivity of identity construction, the theory of Orientalism and Spivak the postcolonial writer Saeed's "subaltern" and Homi Bhabha's hybridity identity theory, using qualitative analysis and detailed reading of the text, the protagonist and the Chinese traditional culture, mainstream American culture conflicts and integration as the starting point of the identity dilemma is interpreted from the following three aspects. First, Jade Snow in the construction of the identity of the difficulties encountered. Jade Snow is a mixture of Chinese and American cultures. On the one hand, it is discriminated against as "the other" on the one hand. It is racially discriminated by the United States in education and work. On the other hand, as a "subordinate", "Aphasia" among Americans and family members is trapped in the dilemma of female identity construction. Second, the cultural context of the construction of Jade Snow identity. Jade Snow child living in the Sino US cultural hybridity is deeply influenced by the environment, food, education, Sino US Sino US Sino US thought, can not completely abandon the China culture or American culture, regardless of the reality of living environment, living in the culture of the island, so naturally chose the miscellaneous Rou identity construction. Third, the process and significance of the construction of Jade Snow identity. The hybridity of cultural influence, combined with Jade Snow cultural advantage, seek the "American Dream" walking on the road, in the process of pursuing dreams, she deconstructs the cultural pattern of the East West confrontation structure, that "subaltern" can talk, successful rewriting of cultural identity of Chinese Americans, reshaping the image. The Jade Snow identity dilemma, reality, history and its significance of the analysis, the results show that the colonial and the context of globalization, ethnic minorities face identity dilemma, should remove cultural dross, absorb cultural essence, creating a hybrid identity; construction of hybridity accords with the requirements of the times.
