【摘要】 随着一大批才华横溢的华裔美国作家在20世纪70年代涌现文坛，处于边缘地位的华裔美国文学开始赢得来自美国主流社会的认可。拥有着美国的国籍和少数族裔的文化根源，华裔美国作家用他们独特的视角来看待自身的经历和美国社会现状。他们常常在作品中反映自己对中美两种文化的认识和对少数族裔文化身份认同的思考。自1989年谭恩美的代表作《喜福会》出版以来，她就获得了许多美国国家级奖项，同时她也成为了华裔美国文坛中举足轻重的人物。她在《喜福会》中探讨了文化身份认同问题，并诠释了她对这一问题的深刻理解。在小说的开始，她揭露出夹缝人遭遇文化身份认同危机这一社会问题，接着她又描写了人物为解决这一危机在身份协商过程中所作出的诸多努力，最后她还揭示出在杂交式的文化身份认同中，人物的身份认同危机得以解除，而且发出了夹缝人的呐喊。本论文使用的理论主要来自后殖民主义代表人物之一霍米·巴巴。之所以采用霍米·巴巴的理论是因为他和谭恩美对于少数族裔的文化身份认同问题有一些相似的看法。他们都认为文化身份认同是动态的，可协商的，而且文化杂交可以让少数族裔拥有属于自己的独特文化身份认同。通过以霍米·巴巴理论为基础的关于《喜福会》的分析和阐述，本文作者认为在谭恩美看来，少数族裔的文化身份认同不应该是固定不变的，单一的，而应该是可协商的，杂交式的。谭恩美在《喜福会》中关于文化身份认同的探索能为那些正在深受文化身份认同困扰的少数族裔们提供一些积极的启示。更多还原

【Abstract】 Since a great many gifted Chinese American writers sprung up in the1970s, themarginalized Chinese American literature has earned more recognition from theAmerican main society. With the American nationality and the ethnic root, the ChineseAmerican writers view their own experiences and the outside world from some uniqueperspectives. They tend to write about their understandings of Chinese culture andAmerican culture and about their thoughts of the cultural identity of the minority.As soon as Amy Tan’s representative book, The Joy Luck Club, came out in1989,she has received numerous American national awards and becomes an influentialfigure in the Chinese American literature. In The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan explores theissue of cultural identity and shows her thoughtful understanding of the minority’scultural identity. At the beginning of the novel, Amy reveals the social problem of themarginal men’s cultural identity crisis. Later, she depicts the endeavors that thecharacters make to solve this crisis during the process of identity negotiation. Finally,she also presents that the characters get out of the identity crisis and win the right toenunciate for themselves with the hybrid cultural identities.The theories employed in this thesis are mainly from Homi Bhabha who is anoutstanding representative of the post-colonialism. The reason for choosing Bhabha’stheories is that some of his ideas about the ethnic cultural identity share similaritieswith those of Amy Tan. Both of them think that the cultural identity is changeable andnegotiable. Both of them believe that cultural hybridity can give the chance for theminority to represent their cultural identities and speak for themselves.With a series of analysis and elaborations about The Joy Luck Club based upon Homi Bhabha’s post-colonial theories, the author of this thesis holds in Amy Tan’spoint of view, the ethnic cultural identities should not be fixed and single, butnegotiable and hybrid. Amy Tan’s exploration of the ethnic cultural identity canprovide some positive enlightenment for those minorities who are still confused abouttheir cultural identities.更多还原
