摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 本文以陈美玲与梁志英的四部作品为例,通过族裔美国作品讨论文学伦理学批评。自20世纪六七十年代的民权运动以来,伦理成为促进族裔文学创作的强烈驱动力。笔者认为大部分伦理或文学标准都受到民族、性别、阶级、政治与宗教的影响,因而对绝对“客观”的文学伦理学批评提出怀疑,强调伦理与美学的相辅相成与不可分割性。少数族裔作家笔下的阶级剥削、同性恋仇视、性骚扰批判、与族裔文学边缘化等话题也被本文纳入文学伦理学批评的范畴。

关键词: 文学伦理学批评, 美国族裔文学, 审美学, 华裔美国文学, 性骚扰

Abstract: Using four works by Marilyn Chin and Russell C. Leong, this essay engages with Ethical Literary Theory and Criticism on several fronts. It shows the ethical impulses that have galvanized many ethnic American writers since the Civil Rights movement of the late 1960s and 1970s. It questions the possibility of a purely “objective” Ethical Literary Criticism given that ethical or literary criteria are invariably inflected by race, gender, class, ethnicity, politics, and religion. Instead of placing ethics above aesthetics, it demonstrates their interdependence and inextricability. This article also introduces the topics of class exploitation, homophobia, sexual harassment, and marginalization of minority writers into the sphere of Ethical Literary Criticism.

Key words: Ethical Literary Criticism, ethnic literature, aesthetics, Chinese American literature, sexual harassment
