【摘要】：被誉为“华裔文学奠基人”的赵建秀一直在挑战美国主流社会根深蒂固的亚洲偏见。他的第一部小说《唐老亚》也深刻地体现了这一主题。这部作品通过梦境和现实的结合来展现小主人公探寻文化根源的心路历程。本篇论文通过文本分析本揭露了华裔美国人依旧没有受到美国主流社会的尊重的现实,同时也发掘了被美国主流社会刻意扭曲和删除的华裔历史；另外,本篇论文论述了赵建秀重塑具有包容多元文化意识的美国人形象、努力追寻一个和谐,互信的美国社会的意图在文本中的体现。本篇论文将从东方主义的视角来解读这部小说,阐述了《唐老亚》中的华裔美国人和华裔历史是如何被东方化了,以及被东方化了的华裔形象和华裔历史又是如何被颠覆和重建的。另外,文本中还透露出华裔美国人想要重新建构平等交流、和谐共处的民族关系的美好愿望,为美国社会真正实现文化“大熔炉”做出贡献。《唐老亚》中刻画了一个愿意融入华裔社会的白人小孩阿诺德。这一人物成为了链接华裔社会与美国主流社会的桥梁。通过这个桥梁,华裔美国人和美国主流社会能够了解对方,互相理解互相尊重,共同创造和谐的美国社会。通过唐老亚和阿诺德的共同努力,他们之间的冲突解决得到解决,关系也更加和睦。实际上,这一和睦关系的实现象征了华裔美国人与美国主流社会之间的和睦关系最终也会到来。最后,《唐老亚》的东方主义视角解读试图唤醒华裔美国人的族裔意识,使他们能够摆脱东方主义的束缚,更客观地认识自身的族裔文化,进而能够更自信地融入美国社会；另一方面,本文还试图通过重塑多元文化背景下的美国人形象和再现华裔历史来消减华裔美国人与美国主流社会之间的隔阂与误解,重建华裔美国人与主流社会的和谐关系,促进不同文化之间的交流与和谐共处。本篇论文主要由六个章节组成。第一章主要介绍作家赵建秀及其文学观点,《唐老亚》国内外研究情况,以及简要介绍赛义德与他的著作《东方主义》。第二章主要阐述小说《唐老亚》与美国华裔文学的互动。这一章介绍了华裔文学的发展历史及其现状,《唐老亚》的文学背景,进而展示这部小说在华裔美国文学中的重大意义。第三章揭示文本中美国东方主义话语对华裔美国人和华裔历史的东方化,并指出现代华裔美国人已经参与了对自身的东方化。第四章主要是对已经被东方化了的华裔美国人和华裔历史进行颠覆,肯定华裔美国人对美国发展的贡献和华裔历史在美国历史上的地位。第五章着重于对正面的美国人形象的重建,纠正被歪曲和掩埋的华裔历史,使华裔历史得以回归,构建新型的,平等和谐的民族关系。最后一章是结论部分,本章总结了本篇论文的主旨及意义,重申了作家赵建秀创作这部小说的主张,华裔美国人应当认清自身的族裔特质,抵制东方主义思想意识的影响,唯有如此,华裔美国人才能获得美国社会的尊重,并促进相互间的交流与沟通。
