[摘要]
自1960年代后期，种族及文化议题成为华美作家主要关注的焦点。汤亭亭（Maxine Hong
Kingston）的三部作品，《女斗士》、《中国佬》及《孙行者》反映出华裔美国人身处
于东西文化交会下所遭受的困境。虽然如此，书中主角仍然企图努力在这种双重文化背景
下，找到自己在美国社会中的定位。本篇论文主要应用巴巴（Homi K. Bhabha）的论述，
来探讨汤亭亭三部作品中华裔美国人的自我主体性的建构。巴巴指出，在后现代的文化议
题中，祖先及家乡不再决定个人的文化认同。相反的，他主张认同是一种不同文化整编及
演绎的结果。在汤亭亭的作品中我们发现，汤氏在自己父母与先祖的故事找出一股凝聚华
美人的力量。透过了解父母过去在美国的奋斗，让年轻一代的华裔美国人，能够克服双重
文化的背景下带来的困境，创造新的自我与文化认同，并肯定华美人的美国文化属性。
本论文共分五章。第一章说明整个论文的理论架构。采用巴巴的理论，主张在后现代社会
中创造出两个文化间的 「中介性位置找到身份认同，打破白人对文化的单一独断想法。第
二章说明在汤亭亭的《女斗士》中华裔子女如何从母亲的故事中传承华美文化。第三章探
讨在《中国佬》里，父系祖先对华美文化认同的影响。第四章阐述在《孙行者：他的伪
书》中，惠特曼.阿辛结合中国民间传奇故事与六十年代美国嬉皮文化来批判白人对华裔
美国人的刻板印象及创造华裔美国人在美国社会中文化认同。第五章归结全文，并再度肯
定汤亭亭于创造华裔美国人文化认同的贡献。
[摘要]
Maxine Hong Kingston’s three volumes, The Woman Warrior, China Men and
Tripmaster Monkey, disclose the struggle of Chinese Americans and their inner
conflict when they confront a Chinese and American binary culture. Kingston
believes that by retelling Father and Mother’s stories, Chinese Americans
build their new cultural identity. This thesis consists of five chapters.
Chapter One discusses Homi K. Bhabha's assertions in Location of Culture as a
theoretical framework for a cultural analysis of Kingston’s works. According
to Bhabha, by articulating differences in the “Third Space” or the cultural
“in-between,” the colonized Other produces its identity. This assertion can
be applied to the readings of Kingston’s three volumes as, in her works, she
strives to identify the differences in her cultural “in-between” and
disclose a “Third Space” between her Americanness and Chinese-ness. Chapter
Two explores how the narrator-protagonist translates Mother’s stories into
her own in order to identify Chinese American “feminine differences” in The
Woman Warrior. Chapter Three centers on the daughter’s writing a history
which allows her Father to recover Chinese American “masculine differences”
in China Men. The book argues for Chinese American rightful place in America,
despite the fact that they are perpetually labeled as "foreigners."
Moreover, Chapter Four deals with Tripmaster Monkey, in which Chinese
Americans make a new community and collective identity in American society
after re-telling their parents’ histories. Chapter Five recapitulates the
main ideas of this thesis and affirms Kingston's achievement in claiming
America and reconstructing Chinese American cultural identity.
