The Tragic Constituents in The Joy Luck Club 《喜福会》中的悲剧因素 摘 要: 《喜福会》是华裔女作家谭恩美于1989年发表的处女作，发表之初就列入《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜达九个月之久。它的出版曾一度在美国掀起了一股华裔文学热，也为华裔作品进入美国主流文学做出了贡献。 本文通过对四对母女共四个方面的悲剧因素的分析——母亲们的女性他者、种族他者歧视的悲剧、女儿们在双重文化下中美文化的冲突、寻求身份认同的悲剧，使得读者明白在双重文化下产生的悲剧形象从而理解两种不同文化互相宽容接纳，共同生存的可能性，期待一个文化共存的和谐世界。 关键词:悲剧； 他者； 《喜福会》； 抗争； 共存 The Tragic Constituents in The Joy Luck Club Abstract: The Joy Luck Club is the maiden work of the Chinese-American woman writer Amy Tan, published in 1989. It was on the best seller list for up to nine months since its publication. The publication of the novel has raised an upsurge of American Chinese Literary Study, which open the door of American mainstream literature for American Chinese literary works. In this paper, the author analyzes the tragic constituents of four pairs of mother-daughters. Mothers’ tragic constituents are formed by the gender “others” prejudice and racial “others” discrimination. Living in a bicultural circumstance, with the conflicts of Chinese culture and American culture and the hardship of seeking roots contribute to the daughters’ tragedy. This paper intends to reveal the tragic images under the double-cultural circumstance, through exploring the tragic constituents in The Joy Luck Club. Then, readers get to understand the recombination of two kinds of totally different cultures is possible, and hope a harmonious co-existent world will come.
