从“第三文化儿童”看莱辛自传中的文化身份认同

On Doris Lessing’s Cultural Identity Shown in Her Autobiography from the Perspective of “Third Culture Kid”

莱辛幼年"第三文化儿童"的迁移经历对她的身份认同产生了极大的影响。她远离母国文化,同时虽然热爱却又不得不逃离东道国文化,此种复杂、多元的文化环境使得她经历文化冲突、文化失衡并最终认同混杂性身份。第三文化儿童经历成就了她通过书写来建构和阐明混杂身份的自传书写方式。莱辛的身份认同具有典型意义和现实价值。全球化时代人口迁移日益频繁,这必然影响人们的身份观,强调文化间的多元混杂而不是矛盾冲突,有助于建构新型的符合时代潮流的身份认同。

Doris Lessing’s experience as a"third culture kid"had a great impact on her identity.She was far away from home culture,and even though she loves it,she has to escape from the culture of her host country.This complicated and diversified cultural environment provides her with the experience of cultural conflict and cultural imbalance and finally prompts her to identify with the hybrid identity.Lessing’s"third culture kid"experience enables her autobiographical writing to become a way of constructing and clarifying mixed identities.Her identity has typical significance and realistic value.In the era of globalization,migration becomes more and more frequent,which inevitably affects people’s concept of identity.The emphasis on cultural hybridity rather than conflict is conducive to the construction of a new identity in line with the trend of the times.
