摘　　要：9·11事件催生的大量文学作品形成了当代美国文学的一种新传统:回归本土,回归家庭。这意味着世界性对美国文学而言变得更加复杂。这一问题的另一个侧面,即他国在当代美国文学中的形象表现为两种截然相反的叙事图式:来到美国,前提是他国意味着荒诞与暴虐;逃离美国,目的是为了挣脱资本主义体制和传统的束缚。从世界性这一角度对大量产生于9.11前后的文学作品进行分析,可以得出的结论是,美国文学有必要对世界性问题进行更深入的剖析和讨论。A lot of novels based on '9/11 Event' have formed a new tradition in contemporary American literature:retreat to within the United States and to a private or familial zone.It suggests that the worlding of American literature becomes increasingly complicated.The other side of this question is related to the image of foreign countries in contemporary American novels,which seems in the two opposite schema:come to America with the premise that foreign countries are absurd and of atrocity;escape from America for the purpose of being liberated from the restraint of capitalist system and tradition.The analysis of the novels produced before and after '9/11' would lead to a further discussion of the worlding of American literature.
