摘　　要：美国华裔作家李丹婷的首部作品《盗贼的肖像》以主人公威尔和朋友们漫游世界,找寻中国流失文物的侠义之举为叙事线索,表达了对于华裔新生代的双重文化身份的深刻思考。本文以斯图亚特·霍尔的文化身份理论为观照,结合中华侠文化,解读以威尔为代表的美国华裔新生代的文化身份建构。李丹婷在小说中透过威尔一行人的远游,揭示了华裔新生代在美国的边缘地位。通过重述与圆明园兽首铜像有关的民族历史和文化,她尝试为华裔新生代确立文化身份。文章着重分析了华裔新生代面临身份认同困境的社会原因和文化原因,并且探讨了他们如何基于族裔传统文化,构建中西方文化相融合的杂糅文化身份,以便使其更好地融入美国主流社会。In her maiden work Portrait of a Thief,the contemporary Chinese-American fiction writer Grace Li takes the chivalrous act of the protagonist Will and his friends who travel around the world to bring looted relics back to China as the clue of narration,expressing her profound thoughts on the dual cultural identity of the new-generation Chinese-Americans.Based on Stuart Hall's theory on cultural identity,along with the traditional Chinese chivalrous culture,this paper explores the cultural identity construction of the new-generation Chinese-Americans represented by Will.Li's narration of Will and his friends'long journey reveal their marginal status in American society.Through retelling the ethnic history and culture related to the bronze statues in the form of 12 Chinese zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace,she tries to establish the cultural identity of the new-generation Chinese-Americans.The paper analyzes the social and cultural causes of their identity dilemma,and also explores how they can construct a hybrid cultural identity integrating Chinese and Western cultures based on their ethnic traditional cultures,so as to better integrate into the mainstream American society.
