发布时间：2018-07-22 12:57
【摘要】：本文将聚焦于文化和解这一主题,以强调对于华裔美国人而言以及遭遇文化冲突的人而言,和解是唯一解决之道。 《喜福会》讲述了四位华裔女儿和她们各自的中国移民母亲的冲突和和解的故事。因为在美国出生以及受着完全美国化的教育,四位女儿更倾向于美国文化和价值观。她们力争融入美国社会,但是由于美国主流社会对华人移民是排斥的,因此使她们处于边缘地位,她们很难融入美国社会的主流文化,而同时,她们又无法领会中国文化的真谛,身处中美文化之间所产生的双重文化身份让她们充满了困惑,她们从而面临着身份危机问题。除了身份危机,由于中西文化的冲突,她们面临其他种种问题：作为女儿,她们和母亲充满了矛盾和冲突,无法和母亲进行真正的交流,从而导致了失语现象的存在,作为妻子,她们在身为美国白人的丈夫面前充满了自卑感,从而导致了不幸的婚姻。幸运的是,看到女儿的不幸,母亲们开始打破沉默,用自己的智慧帮助女儿意识到她们价值,从而变得自立自强。在接受母亲建议的同时,女儿们也开始领悟中国文化的真谛,并且实现了中西文化的和解。 其实,谭恩美的《喜福会》自出版之所以引起了非同一般的反响,也要归功于它为华裔美国人提供了出路。在双重文化的影响下,他们既不是真正的中国人,也不是真正的美国人,因而他们陷入了困惑,从而矛盾重重。但是《喜福会》让他们意识到：文化和解可以帮助他们重构身份,即中国文化和美国文化的混合体。因而本文将聚焦于文化和解这一主题,以强调对于华裔美国人而言以及遭遇文化冲突的人而言,和解是唯一解决之道。 而本文将从象征符号的角度探讨《喜福会》中文化冲突及和解的主题,从而揭示在种种矛盾冲突下,和解是可以实现的。法国符号学家罗兰·巴特认为：生活中的许许多多的“神话”之所以被隐藏起来,没被发现,是因为它们表面看起来没有什么特别之处,它们需要符号学的详细分析。(CobleyJansz44)在《喜福会》中,作者并非直接将矛头指向了中西文化的冲突,而是使用了不同的象征符号来强调中西文化在方方面面的冲突。不破解这些符号,就无法真正的弄清楚小说中母亲和女儿面临着哪些方面的中西文化冲突。同时,文化冲突的和解也是通过符号来体现的。因此,本文一方面旨在揭示华裔美国人种种矛盾的根源,既中西文化冲突,另一方面旨在探讨中西文化冲突如何在符号中实现和解的。最后得出结论：和解是华裔美国人的唯一出路。 本文第一章将通过分析相关的象征符号来展现中西文化冲突的方方面面。第二章将讨论中西文化冲突导致的失语现象和身份迷失,同时会通过破解相关的符号来强调失语和身份迷失。第三章将通过分析象征符号,来强调文化和解才是文化冲突的解决之道。
[Abstract]:This article will focus on the theme of cultural reconciliation to emphasize that for Chinese-Americans and those who experience cultural conflict, Reconciliation is the only solution. The Joy Luck Club tells the story of the conflict and reconciliation between the four Chinese daughters and their Chinese immigrant mothers. Born in the United States and educated entirely Americanized, the four daughters are more inclined to American culture and values. They strive to integrate into American society, but because of the exclusion of Chinese immigrants in the mainstream of the United States, they are marginalized, and it is very difficult for them to integrate into the mainstream culture of American society, and at the same time, They can not understand the true meaning of Chinese culture, and the double cultural identity between Chinese and American culture makes them full of confusion, and they face the problem of identity crisis. In addition to the identity crisis, because of the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, they are faced with other problems: as daughters, they and their mothers are full of contradictions and conflicts, unable to really communicate with their mothers, thus leading to the existence of aphasia. As wives, they had a sense of inferiority in front of their white American husbands, leading to an unhappy marriage. Fortunately, seeing their daughters' misfortune, mothers began to break the silence and use their wisdom to help their daughters realize their value and become self-reliant. While accepting the mother's advice, the daughters began to understand the true meaning of Chinese culture and to achieve reconciliation between Chinese and western cultures. In fact, Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club" since the publication of the cause of the extraordinary response, but also because it provides a way out for Chinese Americans. Under the influence of double culture, they were neither real Chinese nor real Americans, so they were confused and conflicted. But the Joy Luck made them realize that cultural reconciliation can help them reconstruct their identity, a mixture of Chinese and American culture. Therefore, this paper will focus on the theme of cultural reconciliation to emphasize that reconciliation is the only solution for Chinese Americans and those who suffer from cultural conflicts. In this paper, the theme of cultural conflict and reconciliation in the Joy Luck Club is discussed from the perspective of symbolic symbols, so as to reveal that reconciliation can be achieved under all kinds of contradictions and conflicts. Roland Bart, a French semiotic, believes that the many myths in life are hidden and undiscovered because they do not appear to be anything special. They need to be analyzed in detail by semiotics. (Cobley Jansz44) in the Joy Luck Club, the author does not point directly at the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, but uses different symbolic symbols to emphasize the conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures in all aspects. Without deciphering these symbols, it is impossible to find out what aspects of the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures the mother and daughter are facing in the novel. At the same time, the reconciliation of cultural conflicts is also reflected by symbols. Therefore, on the one hand, the purpose of this paper is to reveal the root of all kinds of contradictions between Chinese and Western Americans, namely, the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, on the other hand, to explore how the conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures can achieve reconciliation in symbols. Finally, it is concluded that reconciliation is the only way out for Chinese Americans. The first chapter of this paper will show all aspects of the cultural conflict between China and the West through the analysis of symbolic symbols. In the second chapter, the aphasia and identity loss caused by the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures are discussed. At the same time, the aphasia and identity loss are emphasized by deciphering the relevant symbols. The third chapter emphasizes that cultural reconciliation is the solution to cultural conflict by analyzing symbolic symbols.
