当代马来西亚华文诗歌的中国历史想象

The Imagination of Chinese History in Contemporary Malaysian Chinese Poetry

当代马来西亚华文诗歌(以下简称马华诗歌)对中国历史的想象既是马华诗歌艺术发展规律的体现,更是马来西亚华人在特定社会现实境遇下表达自身身份认同和文化归属的独特文化表征。本文通过对当代马华文诗歌中国历史想象的文本分析,归纳出七十年代马华诗歌对中国抒情感怀式的历史想象,八十年代马华诗歌对中国历史抒情叙事的想象和九十年代后设解构的历史想象三种美学策略。由此发掘文化研究中特殊的"他者"意义:利用"中国"这个缺席却又无处不在的"他者"言说了当代马来西亚华人复杂而纠结的"自我"。

The imagination of Chinese history is a representation of art development in contemporary Malaysian Chinese poetry, and a unique cultural token of Malaysians＇ identity and cultural ascription in the specific so- cial reality. According to the texts of contemporary Malaysian Chinese poetry, the imaginations are in three types of aethetic tactics ： the sentimentality imagination in the 70s, the narrative imagination in the 80s, and the meta-narrative imagination in the 90s, proving that China has been endowed with extraordinary cultural meanings in the imagination of Malaysian Chinese poetry, which is not only the Other, but also tells much in- formation about the Self.
