跨文化背景下美国华裔女性“自我”身份的重构——以《喜福会》为例

The Reconstruction of"Self"Identity of Chinese American Women in Cross-Cultural Context-The Joy Luck Club as an Example

小说《喜福会》中,作家谭恩美以其真挚的情感和生动细腻的笔触,描写了中国母亲们与在美国出生的女儿们在主流文化中的生态环境,以及在中西方文化碰撞之下两代人之间的情感纠葛,揭示了她们在异质文化融合、交汇中复杂矛盾的心态,作品呈现出深刻而现实的意义。在融入他者文化的过程中,身份认同是非常值得深入探究的议题,该文以《喜福会》为例,着重研究在复杂、特定的多元文化背景下,美国华裔女性自我形象变化、自我认知改变的心路历程,剖析他们所面临的身份危机和困惑,研究华裔女性在族裔身份寻求过程中,其自我归属的重新认知与定位、身份的觉醒与重构。

In the novel The Joy Luck Club,writer Amy Tan uses sincere emotions and vivid and delicate descriptions to show the ecological environment of Chinese mothers and their American-born daughters in the mainstream culture,as well as the emotional entanglement between the two generations under the collision of Chinese and Western cultures,revealing their complex and contradictory mentality in the integration and intersection of different cultures,and the work presents profound and realistic significance.In the process of integrating into a foreign culture,identity is a topic worthy of in-depth investigation.Taking The Joy Luck Club as an example,this article focuses on the psychological process of the change in self-image and self-perception of Chinese American women in a complex and specific multicultural context,analyses the identity crisis and confusion they face,and studies the reperception and repositioning of their self-attribution,the awakening and repositioning of their identity in the process of ethnic identity seeking for Chinese women.It also examines the re-conceptualisation and repositioning of Chinese women's self-identity and the awakening and reconstruction of their identity in the process of ethnic identity seeking.
