摘要:

1976年,金斯顿的处女作《女勇士:一个生活在鬼魂中间的少女的回忆录》在美国横空出世,吸引了美国读者及评论界广泛的兴趣和关注,成为美国经典力作。作者描写了自己作为华裔夫妇的长女在美国移民家庭成长过程中遭遇的种种困惑与创伤,讲述了她如何受到中华传奇女子花木兰等中国英雄人物事迹激励而走出族裔与性别歧视的双重困境,最终成长为女勇士的故事。1998年,美国迪士尼公司将中国的华木兰故事进行改编,推出了动画电影《木兰》,使得木兰在美国更为知名。本报告主要讲述中国的木兰在金斯顿代表作《女勇士》和迪士尼电影《木兰》中有哪些变换,并分析这些变换背后的深层动因。

In 1976Maxine Hong Kingston published her debut work The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts, which received tremendous interest and attention from American readership and critics, and has since been regarded as a literary classic. The narrative describes the overwhelming perplexities and traumas the author suffered growing up being the eldest daughter of a Chinese American immigrant couple, and how she was inspired by Chinese legendary heroine Mulan and other heroic Chinese figures so that she ended up growing out of racial and gender prejudices, thereby becoming a female warrior. In 1998, the release of Walt Disney Pictures’ animated feature film Mulan made Mulan more famous in the United States. This lecture focuses on how the image of Mulan changes in Kingston’s masterpiece The Woman Warrior as well as in the Disney film Mulan and what causes these remarkable transformations.
