《喜福会》(TheJoyLuckClub)是华裔女作家谭恩美(AmyTan)于1989年发表的处女作,一经发表,获奖无数。小说主要描写了四位中国母亲与她们美国出生女儿之间的误解与冲突。《喜福会》之所以取得如此辉煌的成就,很大一方面是由于小说大量描写了四位母亲在中国的苦难经历,充满了异域情调,迎合了美国读者渴望了解神秘古老的中国文化的心理。然而,小说中所描写的中国和中国文化,并非理性的、全面的、客观的,而是带有明显的东方主义色彩。通过分析不仅能够揭示东方主义的本质,也能重新审视中国传统文化,对中国传统文化糟粕的批判与精髓的传承也有着重要的现实意义。
The Joy Luck Club is a debut album published by Chinese female writer Amy Tan in 1989, and has been awarded numerous awards. The novel mainly describes the misunderstandings and conflicts between the four Chinese mothers and their American-born daughters. The great success of The Joy Luck Club is due largely to the fact that the novel contains a great deal of depiction of the suffering experiences of the four mothers in China. It is full of exotic sentiments and caters to the psychology of American readers who desire to understand the mysterious and ancient Chinese culture . However, the Chinese and Chinese cultures portrayed in the novel are not rational, comprehensive and objective, but rather marked by orientalism. By analyzing not only the essence of Orientalism but also the reexamination of traditional Chinese culture, it is also of great practical significance to criticize and inherit the essence of the dross of traditional Chinese culture.
