【摘要】：谭恩美是美国著名的华裔女作家,她的长篇小说多以在美国生活的华裔母女为书写对象。而其2013年出版的作品《惊奇山谷》却突破了这种模式,把写作背景定在20世纪初的中国,主要角色也变成了西方母亲与混血女儿。本论文拟从文化身份的角度,以后殖民主义理论为指导,对《惊奇山谷》中各角色的身份问题展开研究。文章主要由三部分构成:引言、主体和结论。引言部分简要介绍了谭恩美其人及其小说、文献综述、研究动机和意义以及文化身份。主体部分包括两章。第一章研究女性角色的性别身份。在男性占主导地位的封建中国,女性作为他者长期处于边缘地位,但不同女性所受的压迫又有所区别,因此《惊奇山谷》中的女性角色被分为三类。第一类是妓女。她们由于长期遭受男性的玩弄,以至于自己也变得麻木,甚至自我物化;然而随着时代的发展,她们逐渐开始觉醒,通过隐性反抗来改变自己的命运。第二类是妻妾。由于父权社会对女子三从四德的要求,她们习惯于依附丈夫、顺从丈夫;但是当压迫超过她们忍受极限的时候,她们终于开始反抗,争取自我的独立地位。第三类是母亲。根据其社会身份和伦理身份是否统一,母亲又分为三类:兼具两种身份的母亲、有社会身份而无伦理身份的母亲和有伦理身份而无社会身份的母亲。在这三类母亲的身份建构过程中,她们与女儿的关系从不和走向融合。第二章研究不同角色的种族身份中附带的文化特性。从种族来说,《惊奇山谷》中的角色可分为以美国人为代表的西方人、中国人和混血儿。其中西方人分为两类。一类是以露露为代表的从美国到中国生活的美国人。她无法维持其殖民者身份的权威,虽然是美国人,但在她的身上却体现出美国文化和中国文化的混杂性。一类是以约翰为代表的生活在美国本土的西方人。19世纪到20世纪是中国备受殖民摧残和压迫的时期,大量蕴含中国文化的珍宝被掠夺,但这也在客观上造成中国文化向西方输出,某种程度上改变了西方人对中国的东方主义偏见。中国人也分为两类。一类是因留学或移民而在美国生活的离散者。他们一方面固守中国文化,另一方面不得不尽力融入美国社会,在两种文化的碰撞中他们逐渐走出迷茫,建构中美文化混杂的身份。一类是生活在半殖民地半封建时期中国的中国人。租界中西方文化的影响让他们在思想、行为上体现出某些西方文化的特征。混血儿以维奥莱特为代表。由于潜意识里的殖民者思想,维奥莱特最初认为自己是完完全全的美国人,但她的血统、语言却都体现着她身份的混杂性,在经历种种磨难后她最终完成了自我身份认知和建构。论文结论指出,《惊奇山谷》中角色的文化身份不是确定不变的,而是一个逐渐建构的过程。无论是性别身份,还是种族身份,在他们的建构过程中一直被他者影响。在自我和他者的协调中,处于边缘地位的女性、弱势文化逐渐走向中心,《惊奇山谷》中的不同角色最终建构出混杂的文化身份。
[Abstract]:Amy Tan is a famous American Chinese female writer. Her novels are mostly written in the American life of Chinese mother and daughter. But his 2013 publication, "Marvel Valley >" breaks through this model, setting the writing background in China in the early twentieth Century, the main role has become the mother of the West and the daughter of mixed blood. This thesis is intended to be from the culture. With the guidance of the theory of future colonialism, the paper studies the identity of the characters in the "wonder Valley >". The article mainly consists of three parts: introduction, subject and conclusion. The introduction briefly introduces Amy Tan and his novels, literature review, research motivation and significance and cultural identity. The main part includes two chapters. The first part is the first part. The chapter studies the gender identity of the female role. In the feudal China dominated by men, women are marginalized for a long time, but the oppression of different women is different. Therefore, the female characters in the "Marvel Valley >" are divided into three categories. They become numb and even self materialized; however, with the development of the times, they gradually begin to awaken and change their destiny through recessive resistance. The second category is a wife and concubines. Because the patriarchal society is used to the women's three and four virtues, they are accustomed to attachment to their husbands and obedience to their husbands; but when oppression exceeds their limits, they finally The third category is mother. According to the unity of social identity and ethical identity, mothers are divided into three categories: mothers with two identities, mothers with social identity without ethical identity and mothers with ethical identity without social identity. They are in the process of the identity construction of these three types of mothers. The daughter's relationship never converged. The second chapter studies the cultural characteristics of the racial identity of different roles. From the race, the role of the "amazed Valley >" can be divided into American, Chinese and mixed blood. The westerners are divided into two categories. The other is the beauty of life from the United States to China, represented by Lulu. Chinese people. She can not maintain the authority of her colonialist identity, although it is an American, but on her body it embodies the confounding of American culture and Chinese culture. One is a period of colonial destruction and oppression in China from the.19 century to the twentieth Century, represented by John in the United States, and a great deal of Chinese culture. Treasure is plundered, but it also objectively causes Chinese culture to export to the west, to some extent, the westerners' Orientalism prejudice to China. The Chinese are also divided into two categories. One is a discrete person living in the United States because of studying abroad or immigrant. On the one hand, they stick to Chinese culture, on the other hand, they have to try to integrate into American society. In the collision of the two cultures, they gradually come out of the confusion and construct the mixed identity of the Chinese and American cultures. One is the Chinese people living in the semi colonial and semi feudal period of China. The influence of the western culture in the concession makes them embody some Western cultural characteristics in their thought and behavior. The mixed blood is represented by Violet. At first, the colonists thought that she was a complete American, but her lineage and language all reflected the confounding of her identity. After a variety of hardships, she finally completed the identity and construction of her identity. The gradual construction process, whether gender identity or racial identity, has been influenced by the other in the process of their construction. In the coordination of the self and the other, the marginalized women, the disadvantaged culture gradually goes to the center, and the different roles in the marvel Valley eventually build a mixed cultural identity.
