美国华裔女作家伍慧明的处女作《骨》讲述了华裔一家在美国唐人街生活的故事。家中二女儿安娜的自杀引发了小说的叙事者蕾拉对整个家族历史的回忆,展现了华裔移民在美国生存所面临的双重文化带来的困境与压力。经过痛苦、挣扎、迷茫之后,蕾拉最终做出自己的选择,并成功的通过构建文化“第三空间”来确立自己的双重文化身份。本论文用霍米.巴巴的后殖民理论来分析蕾拉通过构建文化“第三空间”来确立自身文化身份的策略。
Chinese American writer Wu Huiming’s debut novel Bone tells the story of a Chinese-American living in Chinatown in the United States. The death of Anna’s suicide at home, her second daughter, triggered the memory of the entire family history by the novel’s narrator, Leila, and demonstrated the difficulties and pressures brought about by the dual culture that ethnic Chinese immigrants faced in living in the United States. After suffering, struggling and confused, Leila finally made her own choice and successfully established her dual cultural identity by building a culture “the third space”. This thesis uses Homi Baba’s postcolonial theory to analyze Leila’s strategy of establishing its own cultural identity through the construction of culture “the third space”.
