【摘要】：在几千年的犹太民族流浪史中,犹太民族和犹太人民饱经沧桑,历经磨难。独特的传统文化和复杂的历史遭遇赋予犹太作家与生俱来的民族使命感和历史责任感,即使身处异地,他们仍然心系民族的前途和命运,始终不忘用特有的写作方式在其作品中积极表达对历史的缅怀和对现状的反思,这一现象几乎存在于所有当代美国犹太文学作品中。本文拟从文化身份的角度.对当代美国犹太作家索尔·贝娄(Saul Bellow,1915-2005)的作品,特别是其代表作《赫索格》进行解读。通过分析犹太民族的传统伦理思想所赋予当代美国犹太文学的犹太特性,揭示出犹太传统思想与美国当代文化的冲突与融合导致的美国犹太文学作品中主人公身份异化的困境,展现了他们积极抗争、探寻自我的心路历程。本文拟分为五个部分三大章节。首先是引言部分,主要阐述涉及当代美国犹太文学的三大问题：当代美国犹太文学的定义；当代美国犹太文学的特质；当代美国犹太文学的主题。在接下来的三大章节中,第一章论述当代美国犹太作家索尔·贝娄的创作简况及特色,并通过概括他的几大创作主题来展现他之于当代美国犹太文学的代表性,最后点出本文关注的文化身份问题。第二章结合索尔·贝娄的部分作品分析其中人物的文化身份。首先阐明了文化身份的内涵,接着分析贝娄作品文化身份的两个维度：自我与他者；中心与边缘。最后通过分析贝娄代表作《赫索格》的文化身份特征引出主人公赫索格的身份困境问题。第三章首先分析赫索格的身份困境的缘由以其焦虑心理的两大表现：对本体存在意义的怀疑；对自我价值实现的焦虑和担忧。接着结合文本详细分析了赫索格积极抗争、追寻自我、最终重获新生的艰辛历程。结语部分拟通过回顾全文,在概括总结前面章节的基础上,以期对当代美国犹太文学的身份困境形成较为全面的了解。
