摘　　要：西方大屠杀文学中的记忆研究关注创伤事件对当事人及后代的影响,其中玛丽安·赫希提出了"后记忆"概念定义和解读非亲历者对大屠杀的"记忆"。美国华裔女作家张岚的中篇小说《渴望》对主人公遭受移民创伤经历影响的描写与大屠杀文学相似。借鉴大屠杀后记忆的形成过程和特点,分析《渴望》中移民创伤对第二代移民即非创伤亲历者造成的创伤影响;具体以女儿安娜为例论述移民背景定义下的移民后记忆形成过程、特点、表现形式和发展变化,并提出了摆脱注定命运、战胜后记忆、重建自我的方法。Memory studies concerning Holocaust literature focuses on the effects of traumatic events on Holocaust survivors and their children. Scholars use different terms to define and understand Holocaust memory. Among them,Marianne Hirsch proposes ＂postmemory ＂ to describe the ＂memory ＂ of those who have never experienced Holocaust. Chinese American woman writer Lan Samantha Chang＇s novella Hunger describes traumatic experiences and effects around and after immigration,which bears similarities with those in Holocaust literature. In light of this,this paper analyzes the traumatic consequences caused by immigration in comparison with those by Holocaust. Taking daughter Anna as example,this article,by analyzing how immigration postmemory develops and changes over time,suggests rational ways to get over postmemory and to rebuild oneself against doomed fate.
