跨越藩篱 追求多元——论华裔美籍女作家任碧莲笔下的“身份表演”

Crossing Boundaries and Pursuing Multiplicity:Identity Performance in Gish Jen’s Novels

本人选取华裔美国作家任碧莲两部代表性小说《典型的美国佬》和《希望之乡的莫娜》为主要研究对象,拟以文化研究中身份问题作为研究的切入点,借用相关后现代身份理论,考察在其作品中呈现出的流动性身份观念,并探讨其作品给处于多元文化背景下的华裔美国文学的整体发展所带来的启示。

The paper focuses on Gish Jen＇ s TypicalAmerican and Mona in the Promised Land to study the fluid identity and the influence of her writing on the development of Chinese American literature as a whole through a cultural perspective and the postmodern theory on identity.
