金山潜龙:流散书写中的华工囚禁叙事

The Hidden Dragon in the Gold Mountain:Captivity Narrative of the Chinese Laborers in Diaspora

论文从中国历史和文化的视角出发,将天使岛诗歌作为一部华人囚禁叙事重新加以解读。认为天使岛华工诗歌通过特殊的艺术手法和完整鲜明的思想立场构成了一部华人囚禁叙事。它在意识形态上表现出与美国清教徒囚禁叙事三个不同的特点:一是它的种族化民族主义诉求是历史的产物,其目的是构建一个抵抗种族迫害的有效话语武器;二是它强调集体救赎,并且认为个体救赎只有通过集体救赎方可实现;三是它主张凭借集体奋斗和人类自身之力获得拯救,彰显了一种与中国传统文化精神相契合的人文主义解放哲学。

Unified by unique artistic strategies and a coherent perspective, Angel Island poems by Chinese laborers constitute a captivity narrative. It differs from America＇ s Puritan captivity narrative on three ideological accounts. First, its racial nationalism is historically conditioned and serves to empower a discourse of resistance against racial persecution. Second, its pursuit of collective salvation derives from the belief that individual redemption can only be obtained through collective salvation. Third, by positing that salvation depends on collective and human endeavors, it exhibits a liberation philosophy in line with the humanistic spirit of traditional Chinese culture.
