解构 重构 再解构——《扶桑》反思华人移民史的三重奏

Deconstruction, Reconstruction, Re-deconstruction ——Three Processes of Fu Sang in Introspecting the History of Chinese Emigrants

《扶桑》以现代叙事技巧讲述了海外华人在美国充满辛酸而富有传奇的经历,对百年来的华人移民历史进行了深刻的反思。叙述者穿行于历史与现实之中,驰骋于真实与虚构之间。先是质疑与解构那些带有偏见和歧视的史书,然后以自己的经历和体验来想象和重构那段早已湮灭的历史,但最后又不得不解构自己重构的历史。新历史主义的突破与局限在小说中得到了集中的体现。

By means of modern narrative skill, Fu Sang tells the miserable and legendary stories of Chinese emigrants in America and deeply introspects the long history of the emigrants. The narrator's imagination strays between the present and the past, realities and fictions. Firstly she doubts and deconstructs those documents with bias and discrimination, and then imagines and reconstructs the remote past with her experiences. But at last she has to re-deconstruct the history in her novel. The breakthroughs and limits of new historicism are well presented in Fu Sang.
