述說離散身分:林玉玲《季風史》中的語言、遷徙與族裔性

中文摘要

本論文旨在從三個面向:語言、遷徙與族裔性探討詩人林玉玲(Shirley Geok-lin Lim)的詩集《季風史》(Monsoon History),並藉由空間中的邊界思考來檢視林的離散身分認同,為林玉玲離散經驗及其如何為亞裔美國文學建立離散詩學之研究。跨界(border-crossing)的概念,無論實質上或精神層面,貫串本論文的每一章以期再現詩人的身分和為其再創造發聲的空間。導論說明離散(diaspora)的概念與綜述通篇論文的理論架構及各章概要。首章探查林玉玲和她寫作之語言選擇的關係,採用德勒茲和瓜達希(Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari)的語言分析和對少數族裔文學的定義來討論詩人寫作的去疆界性(deterritorialization)。次章探索林玉玲本身的遷徙狀態,並引用薩依德(Edward Said)對(身為)流亡者(exile)所做的反思與分類。第三章則集多位理論家及批評家的說法以林玉玲詩中所呈現的族裔認同問題為焦點。末章結論林玉玲的最終身分認同,由於其語言、遷徙和族裔性的疆界重劃(reterritorialization),使其成為亞裔美國人(Asian American)。
Abstract
Abstract

This thesis sets out to explore Shirley Geok-lin Lim's poetry collection Monsoon History in terms of three aspects: language, migrancy, and ethnicity. It also attempts to examine Shirley Lim's diasporic identity by embracing the border thinking. The notion of border-crossing, either physically or psychologically, passes through each chapter to represent the poet's identity and to re-create a space for herself to articulate. It is a study of Lim's exile experiences and how she establishes the poetics of diaspora for Asian American literature. In the introduction, the concept of diaspora and the theoretical framework will be explicated. The first chapter probes into the relationship between Shirley Lim and her choice of language in writing. I adopt Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's analysis of language and definition of “minor literature” to discuss the deterritorialization of Lim's writing. The second chapter traces Lim's migrant status, in which I resort to Edward Said's “Reflections on Exile” and his different categorizations of exile. The third chapter, appealing to several theorists or critics, such as Benedict Anderson, Ernest Gellner, and Ling-chi Wang, deals with Lim's problem of ethnic identity displayed in her poetry. The last chapter concludes with an overall argumentation that the destination and dissolution of Lim's identity is an Asian American because of reterritorialization of language, migrancy, and ethnicity.
