加拿大多元文化语境下的华裔身份建构——评林浩聪的《放血与神奇治愈》

Chinese ethnic identity in Canadian multicultural context——A review on Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam

族裔身份是族裔关系的总和。华裔加拿大作家林浩聪的小说《放血与神奇治愈》表达了新一代华裔加拿大作家对中国传统文化的好奇、赞赏与偏爱,对主流社会白人文化进行反写,并把揶揄的对象扩大到与华裔同台竞争的印度裔。小说表明,即使在多元文化主义兴盛的时代,文学仍在一定程度上是不同民族竞争话语权的舞台。

Ethnic identity is a combination of ethnic relations.Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures written by Vincent Lam,a Chinese Canadian writer,exhibits the curiosity,admiration and favor held by the new generation of Chinese Canadian writers toward Chinese traditional culture,writes back on the white culture and extends irony to the East Indian Canadians,who vie with Chinese.It proves that even in an era of multiculturalism,literature remains an arena where ethnicities compete for power to some extent.
