文化“侨易”视域下美国族裔小说的身份建构研究

Changing and Becoming:An Analysis of Identity Construction in American Ethnic Novels from the Perspective of Qiaoyi Theory

美国族裔小说通过富有生命力的文字鲜活生动、形象直接地呈现出美国族裔历史、文化发展态势。在谱写族裔历经异质性文化结构差与地理空间位移的契合性关联之时,美国族裔小说伴随着族裔身份建构而折射出同化、差异、暗恐现象尤为突出。结合侨易学理论,运用“观侨阐理”“取象说易”“察变寻异”的基本方法,关注族裔文化与主流文化的碰撞与融合,阐释美国族裔作家通过文本形式彰显情感结构、书写移民国度里族裔身份建构的迁变性。研究发现:不同文化在相离相和的矛盾中存在着,且在矛盾的对立统一中不断完善。因此,在文化“侨易”过程中,美国社会应珍视文化差异、多样并存的现实,承认族裔的文化身份,赋予族裔文化的传播者更多的话语空间,最终构建出合理的生存环境。
