【摘要】：杰米福特是21世紀美國華裔文壇的后起之秀，其長篇小說處女作《悲喜邊緣的旅館》一經(jīng)發(fā)表便引起巨大反響。本文以小說中的愛情故事為線索，分析書中展現(xiàn)的在美華裔移民父子之間的矛盾，探究父子矛盾的根源以及矛盾的解決，即父子之間和諧關(guān)系的建立。 論文分為三部分。第一章從文化價值觀、自我身份定位以及種族觀念三個方面入手探討小說中亨利與父親、亨利與馬蒂這兩對父子間的矛盾。亨利的父親代表的是中國傳統(tǒng)儒家文化思想；亨利盡管出生在一個傳統(tǒng)的中國家庭中，但接受的美國教育，擁有半西方化的文化價值觀。亨利的父親堅守著中國式的生存方式，成為美國社會中一個堅定的“他者”；而亨利則為自己的身份所困惑，是一個無根的漂泊者。在種族觀念方面，亨利的父親是一個極端的民族主義者；而亨利的種族觀念則更為和諧，，認為各個民族之間完全可以和平共處。第二章分析父子矛盾產(chǎn)生的原因。第一，中美文化之間的巨大差異是造成矛盾的主要原因。中國文化是家族本位式的，而美國文化則是個人本位式的；中國文化內(nèi)向而美國文化外向。不同的文化特質(zhì)造成了父子二人對事情不同的看法，從而導致了父子矛盾的產(chǎn)生。第二，亨利缺少對自己家族歷史的了解，家族記憶的缺失使得亨利無法理解父親的所作所為，進而加深了父子矛盾。第三，由于語言和情感的障礙使得亨利與父親難以溝通，矛盾變得愈發(fā)激化。第四，父子關(guān)系本身的復雜性和脆弱性使得亨利通常對父親抱有一種天然的敵意，而這種敵意也成為父子矛盾的導火索。第三章探討父子間和諧關(guān)系的建立。文化身份上，亨利與馬蒂建立了一個屬于他們自己的第三空間，在這個空間里他們對中美文化進行了雜糅，找到了自己的文化定位——美國式的外在存在，中國式的內(nèi)在情懷。同時，亨利逐漸消除了種族觀念上的困惑，建立了種族融合的思想。最后，在血緣的帶動下，亨利與馬蒂得以真正地展開交流、溝通，父子矛盾得以解決。 本論文的研究表明：通過文化身份的確認、負面種族觀念的消除以及彼此的相互理解，美國華裔父子之間的矛盾完全可以得到解除，從而建立起一種和諧的父子關(guān)系模式。
[Abstract]:Jamie Ford is a rising star of Chinese American literature in the 21st century. The first chapter discusses the contradiction between Henry and father, Henry and Marty. Henry's father represented the Chinese traditional Confucian culture. Although he was born in a traditional Chinese family, Henry received an American education with a semi-westernized cultural value. In terms of race, Henry's father was an extreme nationalist, and Henry's race was more harmonious, believing that nations could coexist peacefully. The second chapter analyzes the causes of the contradiction between father and son. First, the huge cultural differences between China and the United States are the main cause of the contradiction. Secondly, Henry's lack of understanding of his family's history and his lack of family memory made him unable to understand his father's actions, which deepened the contradiction between father and son. Fourth, the complexity and fragility of the paternal relationship makes Henry usually have a natural hostility to his father, which is the trigger of the father's conflict. Chapter three discusses the establishment of the harmonious relationship between father and son. In terms of cultural identity, Henry and Marty set up a third space belonging to themselves, in which they blended the Chinese and American cultures and found their own cultural orientation-the external existence of the American style and the inner feelings of the Chinese style. At the same time, Henry gradually eliminated the confusion of racial concept and established the idea of racial integration.
