汤亭亭作品创作的后现代主义倾向

论文摘要

汤亭亭作为美籍华裔文学界备受关注的女作家,其作品的创作方法独特多样。本文运用后现代主义思潮影响下所产生的互文性、解构主义、戏仿、拼贴等创作策略分析汤亭亭三部主要作品《女勇士》,《中国佬》和《孙行者》。采用互文性理论从共时、历时的角度分析作品;运用解构主义理论颠覆美国社会对华裔男性的丑化,通过大量事实重塑华人形象;通过戏仿、语言游戏、观音式叙事法和拼贴等后现代主义创作技巧重点分析汤亭亭在小说《孙行者》中塑造的充满后现代反叛精神的阿新。结论认为,后现代主义研究拓宽了解读这位华裔女性作家文学创作的视角,使读者能更为深刻地领略到其作品的内涵所在,并可以从她作品的创作手法这一角度来探寻其中所蕴涵的人文关怀。
