Abstract:

Like most ethnic and multicultural narratives, Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club revolves around the development of an identity in which immigrant experience and all the questions of ethno- cultural identity that attend to it play central roles. The aim of this essay is to investigate the process of identity formation of the second-generation Chinese immigrant daughters who encounter Chinese culture at home while having the immediate experience of living in America, with a focus on the cultural, language and generational gaps that exist between the Chinese mothers and their American- born daughters.

Abstract:

This project examines the connection between the representations of Chinese American women and the Orientalist discourse, as depicted in Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. Using a deconstructive and intersectional approach, the project focuses on four interconnected constituents that regulate the novel’s main structural and thematic elements: Narrative Structure; Mother-Daughter Relationships; Language, Writing and Identity; and Feminist Affirmations. The project’s aim is to understand the logic of the novel’s representation by juxtaposing and analyzing the contrasting arguments within each of the s

Abstract:

This analysis of Tan's first two novels reveals that her female characters suffer from the strains critics like Amy Ling say result from the double paradox of filling the roles of mother or daughter as minority women in a white, male society. Recognizing this double paradox offers Tan's characters, and her readers, the opportunity to resolve the conflicts between mothers and daughters in The Joy Luck Club. Using the theories of psychologist Kathie Carlson helps readers understand how the protagonist of The Kitchen God's Wife resolves similar conflicts with her daughter and her own mother by se

Through writing, Tan manages to save the trapped maternal voice from the masculine. The maternal voice is allowed a chance to speak up in the novel.

碩士<br>國立高雄師範大學<br>英語學系<br>93<br>This thesis aims at interpreting mother-daughter relationships in Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter’s Daughter through Luce Irigaray’s perspective to explore the two works’ similar process of the daughters’ “fighting their mothers” and their difference in whether the daughters’ attitude transforms into that of “daughtering their mothers.” As a contemporary Chinese American writer, Amy Tan has the freedom to reveal the fault in American ideology in the interaction between mothers and daughters and places it within the Chinese American context.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系<br>86<br><喜福會>在美國造成轟動, 登上暢銷排行榜, 並獲得很多批評家高度肯定. 可是這本小說的結構安排使得讀者很難弄清楚故事中人物的關係, 因為常常得由某個故事跳讀到另一故事. 這缺乏單一主軸情節的去中心式結構將小說分成四部份, 每個部份先前置一段插曲小故事為導言, 再接四則由不同主角敘述各自的回憶故事. 譚恩美這樣的結構安排,可用巴赫汀的對話理論加以闡釋. 巴赫汀認為小說的結構本身就像一個多音言語. 這個言語匯聚了多樣的言語型態. 這些言語型態並非只是抽象的語言組成, 而是不同意識型態的呈現.他們無法和整個語言情境抽離. 例如: 語言環境背後所裝載的社會價值觀.這些異質的語言, 在多音小說這個戰鬥場內, 彼此交談, 但衝突對峙. 可是, 唯有與異議他者對話,在衝突中才能自我檢視,批判,並改變信念與行為,進而對自我更加了解. <喜福會>就是多音小說, 其中眾多敘述者表達

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>翻譯學研究所<br>89<br>Abstract While Chinese American literature is thriving in the United States, and recently in Taiwan’s academic field, the translation of the genre (back) into Chinese, as well as the discussion of it, has not been treated with equal attention. As a source text, Chinese American literature is unique in the following aspects. First of all, it resembles a post-colonial text in its juxtaposition of a powerful American culture/English and a relatively less advantaged Chinese culture/Chinese. It bears a similar characteristic of bilingual inter-tex
