摘要
从西方文体个人随笔中自我形象的塑造出发,探讨了叙事疗法对患者自我的重建过程,并揭示了这一原理对个人随笔的阐释作用。心理学家Michael White主创的叙事疗法理论,主张使用受个体偏爱的替代故事来消解有问题的主导故事,个体在受到主导性知识影响的同时,也能从替代性知识中建构新的叙事。这一理论为美国华裔作家汤亭亭的名篇《无名的女人》提供了新的解读方法,而汤亭亭虽然试图抵制母亲的浅薄描述、重构被遗忘的姑姑的人生并取得了独特成果,但在两种文化中不同主导知识的复杂影响下,她并未能完成一个真正的替代故事。
Starting with the self in the Western genre personal essay,this paper discusses how narrative therapy reconstructs one’s self,which offers a new interpretive frame for the personal essay.The leading narrative therapist Michael White’s theory stresses replacing the problematic dominant story with a preferred alternative story and points out that individuals subject to dominant knowledges can rely on alternative knowledges to construct a new narrative.Reading Maxine Hong Kingston’s essay“No Name Woman”from this perspective,the paper reveals that though Kingston attempts to resist her mother’s thin description and recon⁃structs the forgotten aunt’s life with a unique outcome,under the influences of two cultures’dominant knowledges,she does not successfully complete a real alternative story。
