摘要
艾米·沃德曼的处女作《屈服》是美国后"9·11"文学的代表作之一。小说虚构"9·11""归零地"纪念馆匿名竞稿风波,通过聚焦创伤阴影下纪念馆评审团的内部争议,背离美国信念的遇难者家属等级划分,以及美国穆斯林主人公在"恐伊症"症候下的身份认同困境,解构了后"9·11"时代"我们"的神话,对主流话语阐释的美国国家特性的霸权性、虚伪性与排外性展开了批判性思考。
Amy Waldman’s debut novel The Submission is the representative of American post-9/11 literature.The novel fictionalizes an anonymous“Ground Zero”memorial design competition,and,by focusing on the furious debates within the memorial jury in the shadow of trauma,the hierarchy of the victims’families betraying the American Creed,as well as the identity crisis of the American Muslim protagonist under the pressure of Islamophobia,deconstructs the post-9/11 myth of“us.”It is a criticism of the hegemony,hypocrisy and exclusiveness of post-9/11 American national identity elucidated by the mainstream discourse.
