本次讨论将对华裔美国文学进行一次整体的历史勾勒和状况描述,包括近年来亚裔美国人研究的主要理论问题。金梦将讨论知名美国华裔作家如汤亭亭、哈金、李翊云的作品,以及非华裔的美国作家如黎南和李昌来的作品。然后她的话题将转向华裔美国作家所面临的美学和实践问题和挑战。归化入籍后的艺术家,在主流以外写作的人,如何克服来自身份、传统和表达的困境以及将其仍然视为他者的文化产业和读者群?

The talk will give a broad overview of the history and landscape of contemporary Chinese American literature, as well as some of the major theoretical questions that have arisen in Asian American studies in recent years. I'll discuss the work of well-known Chinese American authors such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Ha Jin, Yiyun Li, as well as non-Chinese Asian American writers Nam Le and Chang Rae Lee. Then I'll turn to the specific set of aesthetic and practical questions and challenges the Chinese American author faces. How does the hyphenated artist, writing outside the mainstream, negotiate identity, heritage, representation, and an industry and readership that still sees it as other?
