摘　　要：本论文是对作家的族裔身份问题进行再认识和再讨论。本文首先梳理我国外国文学研究中对作家族裔身份的一般认定,将其归纳为血统论、塑形论、认同论和表现论四个方面,并逐一进行评述,解析其偏颇所在。在此基础上,本文讨论族裔作家文化身份"选择"的主观因素,聚焦常被忽视的身份的表演性和临时性,指出应以社会建构理论为指导思路,走出本质主义。本文结合目前我国的批评现状,强调在今天全球化大势下的多元的社会,我们更应该把作家的族裔身份看作一个动态、临时、杂糅的建构过程。The paper is a rethinking of writers＇ethnic identity by, first of all, summarizing the basis on which ethnic writers are often categorized, namely by blood, nurturing, professed recognition or inclination, and analyzing the defects of such classification. Following this analysis, it discusses the subjective part of ethnic writers＇ identity selection, focusing mostly on the often neglected elements of identity -- its performativity and its temporality ; it argues that we need to abandon essentialism by embracing the theory of social constructionism. In today＇s multilateral and shifting world, the identity of ethnic writers should increasingly be viewed as a constructive process which is mobile, temporary andhybridized.
