诉说离乱与建构主体——论马来西亚华人新生代的创作

马来西亚华人新生代的崛起是20世纪90年代以来马来西亚乃至东南亚华文文坛的重要现象.马来西来华人新生代在创作中甚为繁复地诉说着离乱的过往与身世的漂泊,这不但反映了他们成长期所经受的国族认同危机,而且透露出他们试图通过离乱历史的叙事而建构其马来西亚"国境内少数民族形象"的族群意识.但这种建构虽然以寻求认同为旨归,却天然地和当局打造马来西亚国族共同体的意识形态相冲突,而这冲突的双方在当前全球化语境中似乎又共同面临本真性幻觉的困境.

The rise of the new generation of Malaysian Chinese writers is an important event in the Malaysian, and even the entire Southeast Asian Chinese literary circle since 1990s.
