《喜福会》中的文化冲突与融合
喜福会》中的文化冲突与融合《喜福会》(The Joy Luck Club) 是著名美籍华裔女作家谭恩美(Amy Tan) 的处女作, 它的出版曾一度在美国掀起了一股华裔文学热, 也为华裔作品进入美国主流文学做出了贡献。
小说描写了四位解放前夕从中国内地移居美国的女性和她们在美国出生的女儿之间特有的“爱爱怨怨” , 该书不仅向美国人展示了来自神秘东方的传统中国文化, 更用四对母女间的感情演绎出了中美文化的巨大冲突,让读者感慨万千, 更为重要的是,作者并没有就此打住,而是让冲突中的母女在爱中包容了对方, 也完美结局了这两种文化的融合。
一、高背景文化和低背景文化理论美国人类学家、空间关系学的创始人爱德华?霍尔经过多年潜心研究,发现世界各国的文化虽然千差万别, 但并不是杂乱无章,大多数文化还是有着明显的倾向性的, 按照“语义依赖对话背景还是对话语言来传达的程度”[1], 他把文化大体划分为高背景文化和低背景文化。
在高背景文化中,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话者含糊的意思拼凑出来。
在高语境文化中,人们并不仅仅通过语言来表达意思, 甚至沉默都可以传递信息,他们认为“沉默比语言更有力” [2] 。
龚琳达就曾带着胜者的笑容对女儿薇弗莱说“会捉老鼠的猫不叫。
” [3] 高背景文化通常有很深的历史渊源, 它变化缓慢, 具有很强的稳定性和凝聚力,中国人世代相传的祭拜祖先的仪式就是很典型的例子。
在低背景文化中,人们的个人经历、信息渠道各不相同,因此当他们彼此交流时,需要详细的背景信息, 在这种文化中,信息主要通过话语来传递, 而极少隐含于语境或对话参与者的默契中。
[4]二、利用高、低背景文化理论, 解读《喜福会》中的文化冲突现象《喜福会》中的母亲们生长在旧中国, 深受高背景文化传统的影响, 而女儿们生活在欧美文化占主流的社会中, 她们不可避免地认同低背景文化。
《喜福会》的女性主义
《喜福会》的女性主义摘要：20世纪60年代以来，美国华裔文学蓬勃发展，一大批优秀的华裔作家应运而生，谭恩美便是其中的一员。
作为其处女作，《喜福会》一经问世便引起轰动，并获得了读者和评论界广泛的关注和好评。
同时，作为一名华裔女作家，谭恩美在其作品中对华裔女性的思想和生活表示了极大的关注。
本文运用女性主义理论分析小说《喜福会》。
【关键词】：文学；《喜福会》；女性主义1.介绍20世纪60年代的民权运动的风起云涌，激发了美国民众对“边缘文化”的关注和兴趣。
随着美国女权主义文学的发展，作为处于种族和性别双重边缘地位的美国华裔女作家因此备受关注。
美国华裔文学出现了前所未有的繁荣，出现了一批十分活跃且富有影响的新生代华裔女作家，其中谭恩美(Amy Tan)和汤亭亭(Maxine Hong Kingston)在当今最负盛名。
《喜福会》(The Joy Luck Club)是谭恩美1989年发表的第一部小说，该书出版后即获“全美图书奖”、“全美图书评论奖”，以及“1990年海湾地区小说评论奖”，并被选入《诺顿文学入门》教材，雄踞《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜9个月之久。
谭恩美的小说在主题上可谓是汤亭亭小说的延续，都是选取移民母亲和生长在美国的女儿之间的矛盾冲突作为写作题材，表现了两种文化相互冲突、相互融合的过程。
但谭恩美的小说较汤亭亭的作品更为动人，其中一个很重要的原因就在于其小说中母亲形象的巨大感染力。
《喜福会》讲述了母亲们坎坷的人生经历和在旧中国的悲惨遭遇，抨击和揭露了男权文化对女性的压迫和摧残。
本文将从女性主义视角来探讨母亲们如何摆脱男权文化的压迫以及她们自身女性意识的觉醒，从而阐释母亲们的女性主义特征。
2.女性主义的定义女权主义（Feminism），源自西方，译文理解成一个主要以女性经验为来源与动机的社会理论与政治运动。
女性主义－Feminism一词，最早出现在法国，意味着妇女解放，后传到英美，逐渐流行起来。
五四时，传到中国，定为女权主义。

• When Waverly and Lindo became reconciled, she said to her mother： You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.你不知道，你不知 道你对我的影响有多大。你的一句话，一个眼神 ，就会让我再次变成那个四岁的孩子，每天哭着 睡着，因为我无论做什么也不能使你满意。

谭恩美常以在美国出生的华裔女性为主角， 这群华裔女性不但面对种族认同的问题，还 必须随来自父母的压力。
The Joy luck club
• The Joy Luck Club is a novel with a theme of mother-daughter relationship. Amy Tan successfully creates a mother image by the narrative strategy of a first person narration mixed with the third person narration and characteristic immigrant and female language.

If I don't like your Rich, I act polite, say nothing, let him have big cancer, let my daughter be a widow. I like Rich, of course I do. To allow him to marry such a daughter! • (你怕我不喜欢他？如果我不喜欢他，我会假装礼 貌，保持沉默,但诅咒让他得癌症，让我的女儿守 寡。我当然是喜欢里奇的，才把你这样一个女儿 嫁给他！)

“到了美国，我就要生个女儿，她会很像我。 但在美国，她却无须仰仗丈夫鼻息度日。 在美国，不会有人歧视她，因为，我会让她讲上一口 流利漂亮的美式英语。 她将应有尽有，不会烦恼不会忧愁。她会领略我的一 番苦心，我要她成为一只比期望中还要好上一百倍的 漂亮的天鹅！
异样人生
谭恩美在《命运的反面》里自述曾 在十六岁时，为了新交的男友，和 母亲发生了激烈争吵。母亲把她推 到墙边，举着切肉刀，刀锋压在她 喉咙上有20分钟。最后，她垮了下 来，哭泣着求母亲：“我想活下去， 我想活下去。”母亲才把切肉刀从 她脖子上拿开。在叛逆的青春期， 她出过两次车祸；被人用枪指着抢 劫，几乎被强奸；受到死亡威胁， 几乎被泥石流冲走。20多岁那年， 她最好的朋友在生日那天被入室抢 劫者捆绑勒死，她被叫去辨认尸体， 从此中途辍学，放弃博士学位。 晚 年的母亲还告诉她一个秘密：她在 中国大陆有3个同母异父的姐姐。这 个秘密深深震撼了谭恩美，成了她 创作的主题。
喜福会
《喜福会》影评《喜福会》成书于1989年，作者是第二代华裔美国人谭恩美。
1993年王颖执导拍摄同名影片，谭恩美任编剧。
影片较为忠实原作，讲述了从中国移居美国的四位女性的生活波折以及她们与美国出身的女儿们之间的心理隔阂与感情冲撞。
从较为程式化的角度讲，任何艺术作品都可以拿内容性和艺术性来剖析。
对于影片《喜福会》，我们同样可以拿这两方面来比照。
一、内容性1.家国氏族的旗帜缱绻舒展The Joy Luck Club由主人公君的母亲苏一手创办，团结着以林多、莺莺、安美、苏为核心的第一代华裔美国人及其亲友子孙。
请注意其身份背景——“第一代”“华裔美国人”。
她们是出身于中国，在中国度过了童年、青年的美国人，她们是第一代。
这也就意味着她们接受的文化熏陶、知识教育、思想观念等来源并形成于中国，很大一部分还被带到了美国，“数年后我移居美国，但中国的一切仍然跟随着我”（莺莺）。
她们在中国拥有过去（童年的美好与青年的痛苦的两极回忆），来美国的初衷也只是为了摆脱过去，“在那儿没人会以她丈夫饱嗝的声音来衡量她，没没人会低看她”（旁白）。
她们与中国保持着种种隔不断的联系——饮食、语言、娱乐、书信和回忆，甚至还有至亲骨肉在中国。
她们的唇齿间流淌着中国她们的发肤中凝注着中国，她们的心目里矗立着中国。
The Joy Luck Club是异域文化中的“孤岛”，守候着这“第一代”“华裔美国人”的传统情结和家国情怀，“她们聚会并不是为了赢钱、欢乐或是幸运”。
至于说氏族，影片的表现就更为明显。
在我们的传统社会里，氏族（家族）重视血脉，重视荣誉，强调传承。
正因为这些，母亲对女儿融注了非比寻常的爱，寄希望于女儿，“我对你没有期许，只有期盼，期盼你是最好的”（苏），“但李娜没有魂，因为我已经没有好的给她了”（莺莺），开发她们的潜能，关注她们的婚姻，才有了母亲们拿女儿互相炫耀，对女儿吐纳埋藏已久的心事。
而女儿们则明白自己对母亲的意义，十分看重母亲们的“遗产”。

TheJoyLuckClub喜福会观后感英文
TheJoyLuckClub喜福会观后感英文The first time I saw the name of this movie------The Joy Luck Club, I thought it must be an interesting comedy. However, after watching it, I found it was very instructive and meaningful. The Joy Luck Club tells stories about four mothers and their daughters. There are eight main characters, Suyuan, June (Suyuan’s daughter), Lindo, Waverly (Lindo’s daughter), Ying Ying, Lena (Ying Ying’s daughter), An Mei, and Rose (An Mei’s daughter).The four mother’s all spend their miserable youth in old China. Suyuan, who had already been a mother of twin girls, had to struggled in the fleeing refugee columns and she was almost starved to death. Finally, she decided to leave her babies under a tree and hoped that someone kind would adopt her children. After settling down in America, Suyuan had a girl named June. Suyuan pinned all her hope on June, treating June very strictly, which made June repressive and disappointed about herself. Lindo was a quite smart and strong woman. She was made to be a child bride and was treated badly in her husband’s family, but she escaped from this fate intelligently. Lindo was such a strong mother that her daughter Waverly found it too difficult to get on well with her mother, let alone make her mother happy. Ying Ying married a handsome guy when she was only sixteen. Her husband was actually a bastard who always had affairs with other women, and didn’t care about Ying Ying and their son. Ying Ying was too weak to fight against his husband, and nearly went to pieces. She drowned her own baby boy, which left a severe and deep hurt to her. Ying Ying’s daughter, Lena, was also a failure in managing her marriage for she didn’t how to protectherself’s rights. An Mei’s mother，who remarried a man (An Mei’s stepfather)who had already married another three women, was bullied and humiliated, living painfully. In order to revenge and make An Mei strong, An Mei’s mother committed suicide. However, Rose, An Me i’s daughter, was just like her grandmother. Rose was so obedient to her husband that she lost herself.There are many topics in this movie, two of which impressed me are the cultural conflict between America and China, and the love given by mothers to daughters.The four mothers are Chinese mothers, although they have been deeply influenced by American cultural. The four daughters are bore and grow up in American, that is to say, to a certain extend, they are totally Americans except their root. June’s mother push her very hard in order to make her outstanding. However, June didn’t like this typical Chinese way of education because she thought her mother made her very stressful and she should be brought up in American way but not be made by her mother. June found she could never be successful like what her mother hoped, and she couldn’t feel her mother’s gentle love. However, it is not because Suyuan didn’t love June that she treated June strictly but because June, in fact, bore the hope her mother had in her twin sisters. June complained that her mother couldn’t see her clear inside, but Suyuan did understand her own daughter, she could see June’s good qualities others couldn’t notice------that is very valuable mother’s love in Chinese way. On the other hand, Waverly found that no matter how she tried hard, she couldn’t pleased her mother. In American eyes, Lindo required too much about Waverly and her boyfriend Rich, always pointing something bad or not so good.As far as Waverly was concerned, she couldn’t find out why her mother was so difficultand even harsh. But in Lindo’s view, since Waverly loved Rich so much, Rich should be considered as a part of her family and it couldn’t be more normal to point her families’weak points. However, Waverly couldn’t understand her mother’s way of accepting Rich. Rose’s marriage was almost destroyed by herself, but she didn’t know why and what to do. Rose respected and loved her husband very much, and she even let him to decide what to eat for dinner. Maybe in China, this kind of obedient wives are very popular, but in American, totally not. Rose didn’t know what she wanted and how much herself valued. An Mei told her mother’s story to Rose, which helped Rose to be clear about her own value and find herself, and finally, Rose’s love was saved. Lena was a very gentle girl who always swallowed her own bitterness but didn’t know how to protect herself. Lena ‘s husband insisted going Dutch about everything, maybe Americans thought it was quite normal, but we Chinese thought a husband should care his wife and take more responsibilities. It’s obviously Lena couldn’t stand her husband, but she was too weak to give up the marriage and change her life. In the end, with Ying Ying’s guidance, Lena left her husband bravely.Mothers love us in different ways, and some love are not so gentle. Mothers experience a lot, and they are always trying to help their daughters be away from pain and sorrow, but sometimes, daughters can’t listen to their mothers or believe them. However, our parents may be somewhat conventional, but their experiences are valuable, and we should believe no matter what they say or do to us, it does not mean to hurt us.I was touched by this movie and really learned a lot. Communication between parents and children is very important. If we can’t understand the way in which our parents treat us, we should communicate with them but not misunderstand them. What’s more, we should believe in our parents. Many teenagers just believe in their own beliefs and even regard our par ents’ words as cliche. However, our parents may be somewhat conventional, but their experiences are valuable, and we should believe no matter what they say or do to us, it does not mean to hurt us.My mother is quite a traditional mother, and she is always worried about me especially after I have a boyfriend. She told me a lot about how to be clever in love, but I just thought it was not useless and I was mature enough to handle love. But after I was hurt in love, I really regretted not to follow my mother. Just like in The Joy Luck Club, it is the mothers who save Lena’s and Rose’s love.。
