Methodology
Marxist Criticism: Marxist critics maintain that literature does not exist in some timeless, aesthetic realm as an object to be passively contemplated. Rather, like all cultural manifestations, it is a product of the socialsocialeconomic and hence ideological conditions of the time and place in which it was written. Structuralism: Structuralists emphasize the whole. In their opinion, the whole is much more important than the parts cause any part has a complicated whole and it can’t be understood without the whole. That means if we want to understand one part well we should contact it with other parts within the whole. In The Joy Luck Club, Club, the things that happen to the mothers in old China and the things that happen to the mothers and their daughtes will be analyzed.

• 对于移居海外的人来说，一切都是不确定 和有待探索的。由于跨越边境后的漂浮状 态，使得他们能够更深刻地理解文化、身 份和种族的建构型。由于旧身份的丧失和 新身份的不确定，在少数文学中，对身份 和共同体的重新想像始终是紧迫的。 • 少数族裔的身份建构不仅取决于他们自己 的努力，还取决于移民国的态度。
• 霍尔认为, 在高语境文化中,人们有着类似的 经历和信息渠道。长期稳定的交流使人们 形成了对周围环境比较一致的反应。 • 因而,在处理大量日常事务时,他们往往不需 要、也不希望得到过多的背景知识。在交 谈中,无需过多的表达,双方就会心领神会,因 为共同的背景知识和想象空间会帮助听者 把说者含糊的意思拼凑起来。 • 在高语境文化中, 人们并不仅仅通过语言来 表达意思,手势、空间的运用,甚至沉默都可 以传递信息 , 他们认为“沉默比语言更有 力” 。
• 新一代华人子女因为生活在与父母截然不 同的文化环境里, 受着美国文化的熏陶, 平 时读的是英文书籍, 而非孔子的经典,往往在 思想上更倾向于接受美国文化与价值观。 • 然而, 无论华裔青年已经美国化到何种程度, 以白人为代表的主流社会依然把他们看作 是少数民族, 是中国人。这使得新生代的华 裔极易产生一种迷茫和身份危机:“我究竟是 谁?”
• 因此，在这种环境中成长起来的华裔第二 代，由于内外压力，他们认同的是宗主国 文化，而故国的文化则是他们需要超越的 对象，女儿们的最终结果就是: “事实上， 除了她的头发和皮肤是中国式的外表，她 的内部，全是美国制造的。” • 这也导致母女间的隔阂。在这一成长故事 中，母女间的交流障碍实质上体现的是两 种不同价值观的矛盾，女儿们不断试图超 越和弃绝以母亲为代表的东方遗产，从而 形成新的主体性。
• 华裔女作家任璧莲(Gish Jen)在一次接受采访中 谈道:“这种对身份的追求是非常美国化的。在中 国的人们不会探讨根的问题。你一旦开始思考身 为爱尔兰裔美国人、非洲裔美国人或华裔美国人 意味着什么时, 那你就是美国人了。” • 《喜福会》中女儿们一旦有了想做中国人的迫切 愿望,这便表明她们已经非常美国化了,不再是中国 人。” • 既然她们已经是美国人了 ,便不用担心被中国文化 同化。她们渴求具有一定的中国气质 ,在某种程度 上也反映了美国人对异域文化的向往。
