【摘要】：鲁道夫·阿纳亚是当代著名的墨西哥裔美国文学作家,是极少数既在西语裔族群内部又在美国主流社会享有不凡声望的作家之一。长篇小说《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》是阿纳亚的处女作,也是其最著名的作品,已被公认为奇卡诺文学乃至美国族裔文学的经典作品之一。因为体现了在矛盾中实现和谐统一,文化和解这一普遍主题,《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》一经出版不仅在西语裔群内部而且在美国主流社会引起了热烈反响和得到了较高评价。文化和解主题之所以能引起广大读者的共鸣主要是因为《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》出版的20世纪70年代,美国社会处于矛盾空前激化的时期,这个时期除了奇卡诺运动,还有黑人民权运动和亚裔民权运动等。他们要求在各个领域获得与白人同等的权利,打破盎格鲁-撒克逊文化一统天下的局面。在此过程中暴力冲突和流血斗争也成为了司空见惯的现象。在这种社会对立渐趋严重的背景下,《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》所体现的和解主题不仅受到了墨西哥裔读者的认同,也受到了美国主流社会的欢迎。因而本论文将聚焦于文化和解这一主题,以强调在充满矛盾对立的社会,和解是矛盾冲突的唯一解决之道。而本文将从符号的角度探讨《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》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。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。《保佑我,乌尔蒂玛》中各种冲突与矛盾以及最终体现的文化和解主题就是隐藏在不同的符号体系,如果不破解这些符号体系,就无法真正的理解鲁道夫·阿纳亚通过该作品想表达的深层含义,即当时奇卡诺人所面临的主要矛盾冲突及这些矛盾冲突是如何实现和解的。因此通过解读其中的符号,本文一方面旨在揭示奇卡诺人遭遇的三大文化冲突,即农耕文化与游牧文化,西班牙文化与印第安文化,奇卡诺文化与美国主流文化之间的冲突,另一方面旨在探讨这些文化冲突如何在符号中实现和解的。最后得出结论：尽管矛盾冲突充斥着奇卡诺人的生活,文化和解是可以实现的。
[Abstract]:Rudolph Anaya is a famous contemporary Mexican American literary writer. He is one of the few writers who enjoy great popularity both within the Hispanic community and in the mainstream American society. The novel "Bless me, Ultima" is Anaya's first work and its most famous work, which has been recognized as one of the classics of Chikano literature and even American ethnic literature. Because it embodies the common theme of achieving harmony and unity in contradiction and cultural reconciliation, "Bless me, Ultima" has aroused a warm response and been highly appraised not only within Hispanic communities but also in the mainstream society of the United States. The main reason that the theme of cultural reconciliation resonates with the broad audience is that in the 1970s, when Ultima was published, the American society was in a period of unprecedented intensification of contradictions, except for the Chikano Movement. There are also black civil rights movement and Asian civil rights movement and so on. They demanded equal rights with whites in all fields to break the Anglo-Saxon culture. In this process, violent conflict and bloody struggle have become a common phenomenon. Against this background of increasingly serious social antagonism, the theme of reconciliation embodied in Ultima is not only accepted by Mexican-American readers, but also welcomed by the mainstream American society. Therefore, this thesis will focus on the theme of cultural reconciliation to emphasize that reconciliation is the only solution to conflict in a society full of contradictions and opposites. In this paper, the theme of cultural conflict and reconciliation in "Bless me, Ultima" will be discussed from the point of view of symbols, so as to reveal that reconciliation can be achieved under all kinds of contradictions and conflicts. Many of the myths in life are hidden, undiscovered, because they don't seem so special on the surface, they need the detailed analysis of semiotics. < Bless me, The conflicts and contradictions in Ultima and the ultimate theme of cultural reconciliation are hidden in different symbol systems if they are not cracked. It is impossible to really understand the deep meaning that Rudolf Anaya wants to express through this work, that is, the principal conflicts faced by the Chicano people at that time and how to achieve the reconciliation of these contradictions. Therefore, by interpreting the symbols, this paper aims at revealing the conflict between farming culture and nomadic culture, Spanish culture and Indian culture, Chicano culture and the mainstream American culture, on the one hand, the three major cultural conflicts encountered by Chicano people, namely, farming culture and nomadic culture, Spanish culture and Indian culture, Chicano culture and American mainstream culture. On the other hand, it aims to explore how these cultural conflicts can be reconciled in symbols. Finally, it is concluded that cultural reconciliation can be achieved even though conflict is full of the life of Chikanos.
