【摘要】：本文將聚焦于文化和解這一主題,以強調(diào)對于華裔美國人而言以及遭遇文化沖突的人而言,和解是唯一解決之道。 《喜福會》講述了四位華裔女兒和她們各自的中國移民母親的沖突和和解的故事。因為在美國出生以及受著完全美國化的教育,四位女兒更傾向于美國文化和價值觀。她們力爭融入美國社會,但是由于美國主流社會對華人移民是排斥的,因此使她們處于邊緣地位,她們很難融入美國社會的主流文化,而同時,她們又無法領會中國文化的真諦,身處中美文化之間所產(chǎn)生的雙重文化身份讓她們充滿了困惑,她們從而面臨著身份危機問題。除了身份危機,由于中西文化的沖突,她們面臨其他種種問題：作為女兒,她們和母親充滿了矛盾和沖突,無法和母親進行真正的交流,從而導致了失語現(xiàn)象的存在,作為妻子,她們在身為美國白人的丈夫面前充滿了自卑感,從而導致了不幸的婚姻。幸運的是,看到女兒的不幸,母親們開始打破沉默,用自己的智慧幫助女兒意識到她們價值,從而變得自立自強。在接受母親建議的同時,女兒們也開始領悟中國文化的真諦,并且實現(xiàn)了中西文化的和解。 其實,譚恩美的《喜福會》自出版之所以引起了非同一般的反響,也要歸功于它為華裔美國人提供了出路。在雙重文化的影響下,他們既不是真正的中國人,也不是真正的美國人,因而他們陷入了困惑,從而矛盾重重。但是《喜福會》讓他們意識到：文化和解可以幫助他們重構身份,即中國文化和美國文化的混合體。因而本文將聚焦于文化和解這一主題,以強調(diào)對于華裔美國人而言以及遭遇文化沖突的人而言,和解是唯一解決之道。 而本文將從象征符號的角度探討《喜福會》中文化沖突及和解的主題,從而揭示在種種矛盾沖突下,和解是可以實現(xiàn)的。法國符號學家羅蘭·巴特認為：生活中的許許多多的“神話”之所以被隱藏起來,沒被發(fā)現(xiàn),是因為它們表面看起來沒有什么特別之處,它們需要符號學的詳細分析。(CobleyJansz44)在《喜福會》中,作者并非直接將矛頭指向了中西文化的沖突,而是使用了不同的象征符號來強調(diào)中西文化在方方面面的沖突。不破解這些符號,就無法真正的弄清楚小說中母親和女兒面臨著哪些方面的中西文化沖突。同時,文化沖突的和解也是通過符號來體現(xiàn)的。因此,本文一方面旨在揭示華裔美國人種種矛盾的根源,既中西文化沖突,另一方面旨在探討中西文化沖突如何在符號中實現(xiàn)和解的。最后得出結論：和解是華裔美國人的唯一出路。 本文第一章將通過分析相關的象征符號來展現(xiàn)中西文化沖突的方方面面。第二章將討論中西文化沖突導致的失語現(xiàn)象和身份迷失,同時會通過破解相關的符號來強調(diào)失語和身份迷失。第三章將通過分析象征符號,來強調(diào)文化和解才是文化沖突的解決之道。
[Abstract]:This article will focus on the theme of cultural reconciliation to emphasize that for Chinese-Americans and those who experience cultural conflict, Reconciliation is the only solution. The Joy Luck Club tells the story of the conflict and reconciliation between the four Chinese daughters and their Chinese immigrant mothers. Born in the United States and educated entirely Americanized, the four daughters are more inclined to American culture and values. They strive to integrate into American society, but because of the exclusion of Chinese immigrants in the mainstream of the United States, they are marginalized, and it is very difficult for them to integrate into the mainstream culture of American society, and at the same time, They can not understand the true meaning of Chinese culture, and the double cultural identity between Chinese and American culture makes them full of confusion, and they face the problem of identity crisis. In addition to the identity crisis, because of the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, they are faced with other problems: as daughters, they and their mothers are full of contradictions and conflicts, unable to really communicate with their mothers, thus leading to the existence of aphasia. As wives, they had a sense of inferiority in front of their white American husbands, leading to an unhappy marriage. Fortunately, seeing their daughters' misfortune, mothers began to break the silence and use their wisdom to help their daughters realize their value and become self-reliant. While accepting the mother's advice, the daughters began to understand the true meaning of Chinese culture and to achieve reconciliation between Chinese and western cultures. In fact, Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club" since the publication of the cause of the extraordinary response, but also because it provides a way out for Chinese Americans. Under the influence of double culture, they were neither real Chinese nor real Americans, so they were confused and conflicted. But the Joy Luck made them realize that cultural reconciliation can help them reconstruct their identity, a mixture of Chinese and American culture. Therefore, this paper will focus on the theme of cultural reconciliation to emphasize that reconciliation is the only solution for Chinese Americans and those who suffer from cultural conflicts. In this paper, the theme of cultural conflict and reconciliation in the Joy Luck Club is discussed from the perspective of symbolic symbols, so as to reveal that reconciliation can be achieved under all kinds of contradictions and conflicts. Roland Bart, a French semiotic, believes that the many myths in life are hidden and undiscovered because they do not appear to be anything special. They need to be analyzed in detail by semiotics. (Cobley Jansz44) in the Joy Luck Club, the author does not point directly at the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, but uses different symbolic symbols to emphasize the conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures in all aspects. Without deciphering these symbols, it is impossible to find out what aspects of the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures the mother and daughter are facing in the novel. At the same time, the reconciliation of cultural conflicts is also reflected by symbols. Therefore, on the one hand, the purpose of this paper is to reveal the root of all kinds of contradictions between Chinese and Western Americans, namely, the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, on the other hand, to explore how the conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures can achieve reconciliation in symbols. Finally, it is concluded that reconciliation is the only way out for Chinese Americans. The first chapter of this paper will show all aspects of the cultural conflict between China and the West through the analysis of symbolic symbols. In the second chapter, the aphasia and identity loss caused by the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures are discussed. At the same time, the aphasia and identity loss are emphasized by deciphering the relevant symbols. The third chapter emphasizes that cultural reconciliation is the solution to cultural conflict by analyzing symbolic symbols.
