荣耀背后的文化僵局——美籍华裔女作家构建女性主体意识所遭遇的尴尬

The Cultural Embarrassment Behind Great Honours

美籍华裔女作家如汤婷婷、谭恩美等在文学上取得了非凡的成就,赢得了赞赏,获得了一系列的荣耀。但是在这些荣耀的背后,却存在着尴尬的文化僵局。她们为了顺应女性主义的潮流,确立女性主体意识,改写了中国传统文化,揭露和批判了旧中国封建礼教对妇女的迫害;把华裔男人描写成了残忍、低能只会欺负本族裔中女性的男子汉形象,这一切遭到了男性主体意识的对抗和华裔男性作家的强烈批评。

Chinese American female writers such as Kingston Hong and Amy Tan have made great achievements in literature and won compliments and a series of honors. However, behind the honors there exists cultural embarrassment. In order to answer to the feminism of the West, these writers have constructed their female subjectivity by adapting the traditional Chinese culture, revealing and criticizing the persecution of women by the feudal ethical code, describing Chinese male as cruel and imbecile beings who are only able to bully the females in the race. All these meet with the confrontation and strong criticism from Chinese American male writers.
