摘　　要：美国印裔作家桑杰·尼冈的第二部小说《移植人》中的空间符号和空间关系通过印裔飞地小印度呈现出多重空间内涵:一方面,主流社会在种族及阶级概念、白人至上、精英文化等种族主义和阶级主义意识形态指导下,排斥小印度,把小印度构建成政治意义上的"他者"空间;另一方面,小印度居民也努力排斥主流文化,把小印度建构成文化意义上的家园空间,以延续和保证其印裔文化身份,双向排斥合力形成族裔飞地;此外,经济因素和印裔对种族歧视的规避也对小印度的形成起到了推波助澜的作用。同时,无论小印度及其居民们多么努力捍卫其印度性,他们都不可避免受到美国主流文化的影响而体现流动、模糊和杂糅等第三空间特性,暗合"离散"族群与祖国地理意义上的疏离和心理意义的牵挂所构成的矛盾和冲突。By decoding the spatial signs and spatial relations in Indian American writer Sanjay Nigam＇ s Transplanted Man, this paper analyzes the multiple spatial connotations of Little India--the Indian ethnic enclave in New York. On the one hand, the main stream, guided by racial and class ideologies like race, class, white supremacy and elitism etc. , rejects Little India and establishes it as an ＂other＂ space in the political sense. On the other hand, for the purpose of extending and guaranteeing their Indian cultural identity, the Indians in Little India reject the main stream culture and establish it as a ＂home＂ in the cultural sense. Besides, economic factor and the Indians＇ effort of avoiding racial discrimination also play their roles as well. However, no matter how hard the Indians in Little India try to safeguard their Indianness, it is inevitable for them to be influenced by the main stream culture and hence their cuhural identities present the third space characteristics： fluidity, ambiguity and hybridity, which in turn match the diaspora＇ s conflict between their geographical alienation and psychological clinging to their motherland.
