文化坐标与心性哲学——论刘荒田散文与新移民文学的全球性主题呈现

Cultural Coordinates and Temperament Philosophy——A Presentation of Global Theme in Liu Huangtian's Prose Works and New Immigrant Literature

刘荒田以全球性都市旧金山为象征的最具全球性主题内涵的散文书写有力推进了现代华语散文的发展。这主要表现在3个方面:(1)刘荒田超越族群、人种和文化之上的散文具有人类文化及其世界主义的思想内涵;(2)作为新移民文学的最经典收获,刘荒田散文充分展现了全球化的不同时期,尤其是"不确定性时期"的一系列的全球性主题,如乡愁主题、移民主题、多文化主义主题、对一个物种的共同体的人类的关注和因性别、性和民族族群的考虑而变得日益复杂化的个人生命实现主题;(3)刘荒田以全球化时代独特的"怀乡范式"模式展示的生命心性哲学,张扬了全球化时代一代自由新移民安身立命的别样心声。刘荒田"假洋鬼子"的文化身份及其文化坐标的建构,使其散文成了新移民文学最有"世界性"特征的文学文本。由刘荒田散文可以清晰明了新移民文学或世界华文文学的基本主题向度以及特有内质。

With his prose writing of most global thematic implication symbolized by Los Angel as a globalized metropolitan,Liu Huangtian has vigorously promoted the development of modern overseas Chinese prose writing. Liu＇s prose writing is characteristic in three ways. First of all,Liu＇s prose,which goes beyond ethnic,race and culture,possesses an ideological implication of human culture and cosmopolitism. Next,as the most classic accomplishment,his prose reveals a series of global issues,such as nostalgia,immigrants,multiculture,realization of individual life made daily complicated by human concern with the community of a species and considerations on gender,sex and ethnic group,in different phases of globalization,especially in＂the period of uncertainty＂. Finally,Liu presents temperament philosophy in a distinctive ＂nostalgic mode＂in times of globalization,highlighting the different voice of a new generation of immigrants＇ survival in times of globalization. His identity as a ＂pseudo-foreigner＂and construction of cultural coordinates makes his prose the most cosmopolitan literary text of new immigrant literature. In terms of Liu＇s prose,we can clearly understand the primary thematic dimensions and characteristics of new immigrant literature as part of world Chinese literature.
