| 摘要: | 本文試圖藉由譚恩美的小說《接骨師的女兒》來探討早期中國女性在美國社會生活的點滴，並藉由傅柯權力與論述的概念，以及薩伊德東方主義的論點，檢視這些女性在發語權與身分認同上所失去的，以及所必須爭取的。文中發現，早期在美國社會生活的中國女性，因為沒有掌握論述的權力，而是否能夠「掌握論述的權力」的權力，又被早期中國的家庭價值與西方社會的東方主義所把持。使得中國女性在美國移民社會受到原生血緣的價值觀與當下生活的文化歧視所扭曲；作者認為，透過記憶回溯，讓個人記憶與集體記憶重置，共同形塑一個完整的價值敘述與身分認同，並進而重新解釋價值與建立論述權力。藉由記憶重置，掌握論述
This paper aims at discussing the conditions of female in the Bonesetter’s Daughter. The arguments comprise the relationship between mothers and daughters, the relationship between female and family, and the relations between different cultures. The power of discourse and voice are the two significant concepts penetrated within the entire paper. The researcher found that the power of voice is based on the power of discourse, in the meanwhile, people who can make “true” statements or “the truth” possess the power of discourse. Through the remembrance, the Chinese females in the American society may change their situation of self-identification and ameliorate their status of voice, especially in retrieving the power of discourse to change the statement of the prejudice of the Orientalism. |
