【摘要】：美国华裔文学发展至今,对于族裔身份的追问一直是写作的主题之一。得益于20世纪90年代以来繁荣发展的多元文化主义,华裔美国文学在90年代得到了空前的发展,其繁荣又反过来促进了多元文化主义。作为新生代华裔作家的突出代表,任璧莲将视野扩大到整个多民族的美国社会,探讨多元文化主义语境下少数族裔的身份认同。因而,本文立足于任璧莲前四部小说《典型的美国佬》、《梦娜在希望之乡》、《谁是爱尔兰人?》和《爱妾》,将任璧莲的族裔写作置于美国多元文化主义这一语境下,指出华裔移民在族裔身份认同这一历史进程中的不断进步和新的探索。同时,通过分析族裔性和多元文化主义的良性互动关系,本文尝试说明任璧莲在探索族裔身份的同时,也从文学领域不断建构美国民族特性,重新定义美国性这一主题。任璧莲对于族裔身份的探索始于第一代华裔移民对于美国梦的追寻。由于社会经济条件的限制,第一代华裔移民始终难逃夹在中美之间的身份困境。而在追求美国梦的过程中,他们逐渐开始拥抱美国精神和价值,由此将自身的奋斗历程纳入美国民族叙事之中。在对于族裔身份的不断探讨中,任璧莲并不将写作视角局限于华裔家庭和华裔社区,而是扩展到整个多种族多文化的美国社会,并在此基础上指出族裔身份的流动性。这一流动性不仅仅体现在第二代华裔移民对于族裔身份的自由转换,同时也体现在第一代移民摆脱族裔偏见、实现不同文化相互理解尊重的过程之中。借此,任璧莲强调了多元文化主义对实现族裔流动性和建构民族统一性的重要性。此外,任璧莲对于建立在族裔通婚和混血儿基础上的新型美国家庭模式的描绘,加上跨国及跨族裔领养这一话题,进一步深化了族裔身份这一主题,并丰富了多元文化主义语境下美国性的内涵。通过分析任璧莲小说中的族裔身份和多元文化主义,本文试图说明在人口、资本和文化广泛流动的全球化时代,多元文化主义为少数族裔的自我实现和族裔文学的发展提供了良好的社会环境。同时,多元文化主义为少数族裔寻求身份认同提供了新的可能。当我们在多元文化主义语境下讨论族裔身份的时候,我们其实是在尝试重新定义美国人和美国性的内涵。
[Abstract]:The development of Chinese American literature so far, for the ethnic identity of questioning has been one of the themes of writing. Thanks to the prosperity and development of multiculturalism since 1990s, Chinese American literature has gained unprecedented development in 90s, which in turn promotes the prosperity of multiculturalism.

In addition, Gish Jen for the establishment of hybrid based paint the new American family patterns in ethnic intermarriage and, together with the international and inter ethnic adoption of this topic, further deepen the theme of ethnic identity, and enrich the connotation of American multiculturalism context.
