摘　　要：在澳大利亚华裔作家中,布莱恩·卡斯特罗是得到广泛认可的跨国写作先行者。《候鸟》和《中国之后》是卡斯特罗早期最著名的两部作品,两部作品都聚焦不同时期澳大利亚中国移民的生活,揭示了主人公从民族身份向跨国身份过渡过程中的挣扎。在20世纪末以来的跨国转向和跨学科转向趋势下,两部作品中地理空间、心理空间变化和主人公身份转换之间的关系值得重新思考。本文采用人类学中研究身份过渡状态的阈限理论作为分析工具,从社会学中的一个感官空间概念"嗅觉景观"(嗅景)入手,通过展现这两部作品中嗅景对种族与阶级、虚构与现实、性欲和创造欲之间界限的渗透与侵蚀,探究嗅景的阈限性以及这种阈限性嗅景所暗示的跨文化身份前景。Among Chinese-Australian writers, Brian Castro is the most widely recognized pioneer of transnational writing. Birds of Passage and After China are Castro’s two earliest works, both of which describe Chinese migrants’ lives in Australia and reveal the struggle the protagonists experience in the process of transforming from a national identity to a transnational one. Studies of the transnational turn of literature have run parallel with the increasing application of interdisciplinary approaches to transnational literature since the end of the 20 th century. In this context, this article focuses on the relationship between changes of geographical space, disruption of mental space and identity transformation, using the theory of liminality, an analytical framework originally from anthropology, which examines the in-between state during identity transition, and the concept of sensory space-smellscape-from sociology, to explore why the smellscapes in these two works can be treated as liminality and what kind of transnational identity the liminal smellscapes envision with their transgressive power that can dismantle the rigid boundary between race and class, between fantasy and reality, as well as between the sexual and creative desires.
