身份认同的地理轴线与空间建构——对《金山》的一种解读

Geographical axis and spatial construction of identity——An interpretation of Golden Mountain Blues

文学文本中的地理空间不仅是对作品外部环境的交待,而是具有明显的建构性,参与彰显作品的精神指向和文化内涵。张翎的小说《金山》中所出现的诸多地理空间,无论是南中国乡村、加拿大唐人街,还是印第安部落、郊野农场、边境小镇、白人家庭,都为小说叙事提供了动力,标记出人物所占据的相互矛盾的多重主体立场,彰显了人物对身份认同的感知、探求和重构,呈现了小说内部关于种族、阶级、意识形态、地缘政治之间的互动,表现出跨文化交往的动态性与复杂性。

The space in literature does not mean the external environment.It connotes the construction of spiritual and cultural orientations.Zhang Ling depicts varied places in Golden Mountain Blues,including south China villages,or Chinatown,Indian tribes,country farms,border towns,white families in Canada that have provided impetus,symbolizing the contradiction of diversified subjects,their perception of identities,pursuit and reconstruction,internal interaction between races,classes,ideologies and geopolitics reflecting a cross-cultural communication.
