摘　　要：黛安娜·阿布杰比的《巴克拉瓦的语言》通过描写主人公黛安娜和其父亲巴德对待美国和阿拉伯食物和饮食方式的态度,探讨了当代阿拉伯裔美国人独特的身份意识问题。他们接受美国食物和饮食方式,但在家中更常烹饪和享受阿拉伯食物。这种对阿拉伯食物在美国的移植和传承,反映出他们对自己双重文化身份的认同和平衡。二人更将阿拉伯食物和饮食方式进行改造,与美国和意大利等地的饮食文化进行糅合,完成对双重文化身份的协商和超越,表现出一定的世界主义理想。无论是主人公身份的双重性或世界性,都体现了巴施等学者所定义的“跨国性”,即跨地域、无边界和流动的特点,折射出阿布杰比更加开放和包容的身份意识。Diana Abu-Jaber's The Language of Baklava discusses the distinct identity consciousness of contemporary Arab Americans through depicting the attitude of the protagonist Diana and her father Bud towards American and Arabic food and ways of eating.They accept American food and ways of eating,but back home they often cook and enjoy Arabic food.The act of inheriting and transplanting Arabic food into America reflects their recognition of their dual identities.In addition,they transform Arabic food and ways of eating through mixing Arabic,American,and Italian food cultures,which reflects their negotiation and transcendence of dual cultural identities and also manifests a certain cosmopolitan ideal.The duality and cosmopolitanism of their identities illustrate"transnationalism"as defined by Basch et al.,which is characterized by translocality,borderlessness,and mobility,reflecting Abu-Jaber's open and inclusive identity consciousness.
