论谭恩美小说中华裔女性移民形象的嬗变

在美国华裔作家谭恩美的小说中,华裔女性移民形象不仅占据着故事的中心地位,而且随着时间的推移悄然发生着变化。她们从＂唐人街的永久居民＂到＂中美文化的‘跨界者＇＂,表现出异质文化间相互吸收与创生的活力。同时,这种变化也反映出谭恩美文学创作的＂观念侨易＂过程,她不仅在中西文化的碰撞中产生共鸣,在相互理解中创造出美国文学的崭新人物形象,而且以自己的经历树立起＂自信的华裔美国公民＂形象。谭恩美对华裔美国人的文化身份进行不懈的探索,表现出他们不断增长的文化自信,这也寄托了作家的社会理想。

The female images of the Chinese American immigrants in Amy Tan＇s novels not only occupy a prominent position but undergo dramatic changes with the passage of time. They have changed from ＂permanent residents in Chinatown＂ to ＂border-crossers of Chinese-American cultures＂, which reflects the mutual absorption and creative power in different cultures. These changes also show Kiao-Iing of Ideas in Amy Tan＇s literary creation. The collision in different cultures stirs in her a resonance and understanding that help her to create the brand-new images in American literature. In the meantime, Amy Tan also singles herself out as ＂a confident Chinese American citizen＂ with her personal experience. Amy Tan has been persistently exploring the cultural identity of the Chinese Americans, which exhibits the increasing cultural confidence of the Chinese Americans and also her own social ideals.
