成长小说《女勇士》的叙述策略

美国华裔作家汤亭亭的《女勇士》是一部少数族裔女性成长小说。在女主人公成长过程中,她必须面对来自种族主义、性别歧视以及社会阶级等方面的多重压力,因而她的成长过程非常艰难。作家通过使用多重叙述视角、后现代复调叙述与拼贴以及将成长与反成长叙事并置等手法,再现了少数族裔女性成长的复杂性,进一步丰富和发展了成长小说这一经典模式。

Narrative Strategies of the Bildungsroman The Woman Warrior

The Woman Warrior is a bildungsroman reflecting the hard initiation of an American minority girl who suffered a lot from the joint pressure of racial and gender discriminations.This paper argues that the writer,in order to reflect the complexity of the protagonist’s growing up,employs such narrative strategies as the multi-point of view,post-modernist narration,and the juxtaposition of Bildung and anti?Bildung,and by doing so,she also puts new energy into the classic pattern of bildungsroman.
