On Nowadays North American Chinese Writers’ Literatural Narrative of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Cultural Trauma Construction

本文从创伤理论的维度,探讨近二十多年来北美华人作家抗日战争叙事的价值,它们对日本侵华战争尤其是'南京大屠杀'给中国人民造成的文化创伤进行了建构。这些文学文本总体来看,发生了从进步叙事到悲剧叙事的转向,作者在战争背景下审视了人性中恶的一面,强烈地表达出了反战立场,是有其独特价值的。

This paper discussed the value of narrative literature about the War of Resistance against Japan by ethnic Chinese Writers in the North America from the standpoint of trauma theory.The paper analyzed how they constructed the Chines people’s cultural trauma suffered from the Japanese Aggression War,especially from the Rape of Nanjing.These works have unique value because of their turning from progressive narrative to tragical narrative,which are more helpful to the survey of the evil in background of the war,and express their attitude to oppose the war more strongly.
