追寻与建构:陈舜臣推理小说中的记忆书写与身份认同

Pursuit and Construction:Memory Writing and Identity in Chin Shunshin's Detective Novels

华裔日本作家陈舜臣以推理小说享誉日本当代文坛,并在推理小说中探寻异文化中的身份认同问题。本文借助文化记忆理论,通过分析陈舜臣的代表性推理小说,尝试解答记忆在边缘人身份建构中的重要作用:身体记忆再现了边缘人的身份焦虑;地点记忆为主体提供了追寻身份之根的路径;文化记忆则消解了身份危机意识,构建了多元混杂的主体文化身份。在探讨全球化与文化多元化的今天,陈舜臣的记忆书写成为华裔作家确认身份认同的有效方式,同时为日本华裔群体的身份建构指明了出路和方向。

Chinese Japanese writer Chin Shunshin is renowned in the contemporary Japanese literary world for his detective novels and explores identity issues in different cultures through his detective novels.With the help of cultural memory theory,this paper attempts to explain the important role of memory in the construction of the identity of the marginal people by analyzing his representative mystery novels:physical memory reproduces the identity anxiety of marginal people;place memory provides the subject with a path to trace the origins of identity;cultural memory dispels the consciousness of identity crisis and constructs the subject cultural identity of multiple and mixed.In today's discussion of globalization and cultural diversity,Chin Shunshin's memory writing has become an effective way for Chinese writers to confirm their identity,and at the same time pointed out the way and direction for the identity construction of the Chinese American community in Japan.
