摘要

美籍華裔女作家嚴歌苓在其長篇小說《扶桑》中，主要透過扶桑這一被拐賣到美國淪為妓女的華人女性，將性別、民族、身分認同等問題並置，塑造了一個地母般的女性形象，提供了一種弱者求生的方式。然而她像動物一樣被折磨，在被動的承受中完成救贖，這在扶桑從妓女轉變為男人眼中的女神的過程中，是否存在合理性呢？東方文化中的寬恕和隱忍是否達到了可以抗拒一切強權的高度呢？本文以《扶桑》為主要研究文本，一方面剖析作品中女性書寫的地母形象和東方誘惑，肯定弱者之強烈的生存意志，另一方面指出作品中對神性的過度解讀以及主體性缺失的問題。除了辯證認識這部作品的矛盾性外，本文亦盼能一窺全球化背景下女性寫作與移民者身分認同的複雜性。
