【副题名】从后殖民主义视角解读任碧莲的《爱妾》

【摘要】 本文以新一代华裔女作家任碧莲的代表作《爱妾》中的杂糅文化身份追求为切入点,运用后殖民主义理论解读拥有着不同文化身份的王家成员。在经历了被他者化和杂糅这一过程后,王家成员成功地追寻到了一种杂糅文化身份。任碧莲成功地将王家刻画成为一个可以给家庭成员提供身份糅合机会的“第三空间”,同时也表达了自己的愿望,即希望美国也可以成为这样的第三空间。在当今美国,不仅仅是有色人群被主流社会认为是“他者”,同样,在有色人群的眼中WASP主流人群也被“他者”化,他们需要在第三空间中糅合生成自己新的的文化身份。更多还原

【Abstract】 Based on the post-colonial theory,this thesis intends to explore the process of pursuing hybridized cultural identity in The Love Wife,the representative work of new generation Chinese-American female writer,Gish Jen.Representing different cultural identities,the family members of Wong’s family undergo the process of being "othered" at the beginning but finally succeed in pursuing the hybridized cultural identity.Gish Jen successfully depicts the Wong’s family as the "third space" that provides the chance for the family members to negotiate their cultural identities.She also expresses the wish that America will become the "third space" that can provide a place for people from different cultural backgrounds.Nowadays,it is not only the colored people who are considered as the "other" in America;the WASP are also the "other" in the eyes of the colored people.Both of them have to hybridize their cultural identities in the "third space"—a space for the opposite sides to pursue a hybridized new identity.更多还原
