汤亭亭的《女勇士》和黄哲伦的《新移民》之间的艺术共性

摘要

汤亭亭和黄哲伦是当代美国文坛中两位具有重要影响力的华裔作家。《女勇士》和《新移民》成功地开启了他们的文学创作生涯。汤亭亭和黄哲伦有颇多相似之处:都属于在美国出生和成长的华裔;都在美国项尖的大学里接受过文学方面的良好教育并彼此赏识。这些因素将有助于更好地理解《女勇士》和《新移民》中所体现出的艺术共性。
　　在文本细读的基础上，本文着眼于分析这两部作品的艺术共性，并探讨了两位作家试图颠覆美国华人的刻板形象与复兴华人社区的愿望。
　　在继承美国华裔文学传统的写作方法的同时，汤亭亭和黄哲伦都设法突破常规，并通过并置和拼贴等现代写作手法的使用，展现了二人的艺术创造性。此外，他们探究了中国移民和美国华裔后代之间的冲突以及美国华裔对美国身份的追求等主题。通过对讲故事的文化传统的回归，他们在作品中打破了美国华裔在美国主流社会中的沉默。同时，由于美国华人女性在华人社区发挥的重要作用，两位作家在作品中都努力塑造美国华人女性的正面形象。
