发布时间：2019-03-24 18:09
【摘要】：本文从卡西·卡鲁思和朱迪斯·赫曼的创伤理论角度出发,以谭恩美《喜福会》中四对母女的情感生活为研究文本,分析和讨论了美籍华裔作家谭恩美如何生动地展现并阐释了四对母女过去和现在的创伤经历。通过创伤叙述,谭恩美揭示了华裔女性因为种族、性别和文化压抑所遭受的创伤窘境,建构了一系列深刻的女性形象,对于少数种族问题以及身份建构问题的解决提供了建设性的思路。作为美国华裔文学的重要遗产,小说《喜福会》是中美文化碰撞和杂交的产物。作者谭恩美身为美籍华裔作家,本身就具备双重文化身份和视野,因此在整体上更加具备强烈的文化感受力。作为第一代和第二代华裔女性,小说中四对母女在中美文化的碰撞中屡遭创伤。无论是旧中国的父权体制、抑或是美国的霸权文化,这四对母女在童年时期和长大成年后的思想感受与生存境遇无不遍布刻骨铭心的创伤。本文在文献阅读以及文本细读的基础上,分析了《喜福会》中四对母女各自的创伤经历,探讨了小说中四位母亲和女儿之间的创伤纠葛。根据创伤理论,该研究试图找出造成人物创伤的原因,研究发现历史创伤记忆的情感纠葛和种族、性别文化的压抑是造成创伤的主要原因。此外,研究还分析了治愈创伤的方法,其中女性自我意识的觉醒、讲故事策略的使用以及身份的建构是创伤恢复重要举措。
[Abstract]:From the perspective of Cassie Karus and Judith Herman's theory of trauma, this paper focuses on the emotional life of four pairs of mothers and daughters in Tammy. This paper analyzes and discusses how Amy Tan, a Chinese American writer, vividly illustrates and explains the past and present traumatic experiences of four pairs of mothers and daughters. Through the narrative of trauma, Amy Tan reveals the traumatic plight of Chinese women due to ethnic, gender and cultural repression, and constructs a series of profound female images. It provides a constructive way to solve ethnic minority problems and identity construction problems. As an important legacy of Chinese American literature, the Fiction Club is the product of the collision and hybridization between Chinese and American cultures. As a Chinese-American writer, Amy Tan has a dual cultural identity and vision, so she has a strong cultural feeling on the whole. As the first generation and the second generation of Chinese-American women, the four mothers and daughters in the novel are traumatized in the collision of Chinese and American culture. Whether it is the patriarchal system in old China or the hegemonic culture of the United States, the thoughts and living conditions of these four pairs of mothers and daughters in childhood and adulthood are all covered with unforgettable trauma. Based on the reading of the literature and the careful reading of the text, this paper analyzes the traumatic experiences of the four pairs of mothers and daughters in the Book of Happiness, and probes into the traumatic entanglement between the four mothers and daughters in the novel. According to the theory of trauma, the study tries to find out the causes of trauma in characters, and finds that emotional entanglement, race and gender-culture depression in historical traumatic memory are the main causes of trauma. In addition, the research also analyzes the methods of healing trauma, in which the awakening of female self-consciousness, the use of storytelling strategies and the construction of identity are important measures for wound recovery.
