伍慧明《骨》中美籍华人种族及性别身份流变

The fluidity of Chinese Americans' ethnic and sexual identity in Fae Myenne Ng's Bone

身份问题一直以来是后殖民研究中的焦点。美籍华裔作家伍慧明的首部作品《骨》因揭示了民权运动、女权运动背景下的美籍华裔寻找身份的苦痛历程而备受关注。本文以斯图亚特·霍尔的身份流变论为理论,通过对《骨》的文本分析,探寻不同社会、历史及政治背景下美籍华人民族及性别身份的解构、建构与重建,例证后殖民身份不是静态的,而是处于不断流变的过程当中。

Identity has been a focus in post-colonial studies .Chinese American writer Fae Myenne Ng's debut Bone excavates Chinese Americans'ethnic and sexual identification under feminist , anti-colonial and anti-racist move-ments.Using Stuart Hall's conception of fluid identity as the theoretical foundation ,and Bone as text,this thesis in-tends to explore Fae Myenne Ng'effort in deconstructing ,constructing and reconstructing Chinese Americans ethnic and sexual identities based on different social ,historical and political backgrounds ,which well illustrates post-colo-nial identity is not in a static state ,but in a dynamic state with constant changing transformations .
