身份的迷失与重获——创伤理论视角下的《不-不仔》

摘要

日裔美国人的集中营经历改变了日裔美国人的生活。许多作家试着描述这种经历，最成功的作家是约翰·冈田。他成功地把说“是”和说“不”的两类人放进他的作品中。这篇文章通过创伤理论和身份认同模式理论视角来关注日裔美国人的这段经历。以此来挖掘在二战后困扰日裔美国人的根源所在。这篇论文并不只是关注身份的寻找，而是要找到主人公身份缺失的根源。通过这两个理论的结合，这篇论文探讨主人公找到其身份的途径，同时提供一个新方法来分析日裔美国作品。
　　这篇论文包含四个章节和一个结论。第一章主要介绍创伤理论和身份认同理论的发展，约翰?冈田的生平和其作品，日裔美国人集中营的背景。第二章通过分析意识形态环境的缺失和心理,文化的创伤，来探讨日裔美国人在美国的孤立的生活。第三章以一郎为例，探讨日裔美国人寻找统一的身份，一郎的困惑与挣扎是由于其意识形态环境的缺失，消极的核插曲的转变，无生成性脚本来激励以后的生活。第四章描述一郎试着实现社会和自我的融合。他试着适应新的意识形态环境。积极的核插曲使他接受了说“是”的男孩们而且使他感受到了生活的希望。最后一章是结论部分,通过一系列的经历，一郎最终发现了生活的希望，这也暗示了对于整个日裔美国族群来说，生活仍然充满了希望。
