【摘要】：乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨是美国当代最多产和最具影响力的作家之一。《掘墓人的女儿》是其发表于2007年的作品。小说主要描述了20世纪30到60年代由德国移民到美国的犹太裔家庭施瓦特一家双重文化身份的构建过程。基于散居族裔批评,以及威廉·爱得华·伯格哈特·杜波依斯和斯图亚特·霍尔关于文化身份的相关理论为框架,本文试图分析研究丽贝卡和雅各布双重文化身份的形成过程,并结合人物的行为、语言、宗教文化等,分析他们面对双重文化所做出的身份选择,由此探讨散居族裔语境下对待双重文化身份及克服身份危机的可行策略。全文共分为五章。第一章介绍作者生平及作品,简述本文的理论框架,提出本文的主题和论点。第二章主要以双重文化身份的理论为依托,通过研究犹太流散历史和犹太民族独特性对犹太身份的塑造,以及移民美国对其犹太身份的影响与同化,分析作品中两个主要人物丽贝卡和雅各布的美国文化身份和犹太文化身份产生的原因。第三章主要分析父亲雅各布对待双重文化身份所做出的选择,并探讨他的选择对其身份的塑造所产生的影响,即被动接受美国文化的同化并坚持自己的犹太身份,导致其无法融入美国文化最终走向自我毁灭。第四章主要讨论丽贝卡在美国身份和犹太身份之间的选择与挣扎,并尝试以霍尔的散居族裔身份为切入点,探讨如何构建一个新的、平衡的美国犹太身份。第五章为本文的结论部分。通过对丽贝卡和雅各布文化身份的分析,论文指出了流散的犹太人在异国文化中定义自己身份的策略,并强调文化身份研究对于当代美国犹太文学的意义。
[Abstract]:Joyce Carol Oates is one of the most prolific and influential contemporary American writers. Daughter of the Gravedigger was published in 2007. The novel mainly describes the process of the construction of the dual cultural identity of the Schwats who immigrated from Germany to the United States in the 1930s and 1960s. Based on the criticism of the diaspora and the theories of William Edwards Berhardt Dubois and Stuart Hall on cultural identity, this paper attempts to analyze the formation process of Rebecca and Jacob's dual cultural identity. Combined with the behavior, language and religious culture of the characters, this paper analyzes the identity choices they make in the face of dual culture, and then discusses the feasible strategies for dealing with the dual cultural identity and overcoming the identity crisis in the context of the diaspora ethnic group. The full text is divided into five chapters. The first chapter introduces the author's life and works, briefly describes the theoretical framework of this paper, and puts forward the theme and arguments of this paper. The second chapter is mainly based on the theory of double cultural identity, through the study of Jewish diaspora history and Jewish national uniqueness of the Jewish identity shaping, as well as immigration to the United States on its Jewish identity influence and assimilation. This paper analyzes the causes of the American and Jewish cultural identities of the two main characters, Rebecca and Jacob. The third chapter mainly analyzes the father Jacob's choice to treat the double cultural identity, and discusses the influence of his choice on the shaping of his identity, that is, passively accepting the assimilation of American culture and insisting on his own Jewish identity. Its inability to integrate into American culture eventually leads to self-destruction. The fourth chapter mainly discusses Rebecca's choice and struggle between American identity and Jewish identity, and tries to explore how to construct a new and balanced American Jewish identity from Hall's Diaspora identity. The fifth chapter is the conclusion of this paper. Through the analysis of Rebecca and Jacob's cultural identity, the paper points out the strategy of the dispersed Jews to define their own identity in foreign cultures, and emphasizes the significance of the study of cultural identity to contemporary American Jewish literature.
