李安珞:《美国多元文学:比较黑人文化,本土传统,拉美与亚裔小说》

Multicultural American Literature:Comparative Black,Native,Latio/a and Asian American Fictions,by A.Robert Lee

这是一组在广阔视野下再现当代文学研究景观的书评,覆盖了存在主义、批判的人文主义、理论的当代处境、酷儿研究和多元语境下的美国文学。这些书评将存在主义呈现为一个充满道德与宗教张力的有机文学整体,在'理论终结'的时刻反思理论的歇斯底里和意识形态,描述从人文主义到反人文主义的发展及其从浪漫到批判的演化,尝试通过对酷儿研究的跨学科考察而重构主体、文化与政治话语,以及在当代争论之中重审多元文化语境下的美国文学,突出族裔认同的诉求。

This paper contains a series of reviews related to recently published books, which from broad perspectives depict the landscapes of contemporary literary studies and cover the spectrum of existentialism, critical humanism,present situation of theory, Queer Studies, and American literature under the multicultural context. In these representations, existentialist literature is described as an organic whole filled with the strong tension between morality and religion,theories in the crisis are held to be a kind of hysteria and a sort of ideology, the orbit from humanism to anti-humanism and transformation from the romantic to the critical are in their turns, subjectivity and cultural-political discourses are reconstructed through interdisciplinary settling on Queer Studies, and finally American literature under the context of multiculturalism is reconsidered while the stress is on the claim to the ethno-cultural identity.
