“全球”视野与“中国故事”——严歌苓小说的全球性主题与叙事探索

“Global” Vision and “Chinese Story” :Exploration of Global Themes and Narrative Modes in Yan Geling's Novels

作为一个新移民作家,移民海外而有了世界性视野后,严歌苓将华文小说创作的主题从异域婚恋、成功人生故事和文化对比拓展到了移民、族裔、人类现代化实践、广泛的全球化思想的新向度。其小说创作的主要贡献在于:1)走向世界的创作主体,在书写"中国故事"时具有了"人类命运共同体"的内涵;2)以移民议题、人类性相与性别议题等为主,展现了丰富的全球性主题和多元主义文化思想;3)从女性主义叙事原则出发,在叙事手法创新和叙事声音的选择上做了诸多有益探索。

As a new immigrant writer with a global vision,Yan Geling extends the themes of her novels from interracial marriage,successful life stories and cultural contrast to new dimensions of immigration,ethnicity,human modernization and extensive thinking of globalization.The main contributions of her novels are:first,a creation subject with a global perspective endowed her novels with the connotation of“community with a shared future for mankind”in writing“Chinese stories”;second,with themes like immigration,human sexual orientation and gender,her novels present abundant global themes and multicultural thought and third,based on the feminist narrative principle,her novels make many useful explorations in narrative innovation and selection of narrative voices.
