摘要

《新月》(2003)是21世纪初出现的阿拉伯裔美国文学的典型代表。这意味着一种假设,即烹饪实践是流散人物定义其身份的重要文化组成部分,特别是在多元文化社会中。这些人物通过这些元素策略性地定义自己,并维护他们对原始家园的归属感和从属关系。因此,本文考察了小说中的阿拉伯裔美国人角色,即siine和Han,在多大程度上将烹饪实践视为理解他们身份的关键工具,在多元文化社会中定位自己,并重新发现他们的真正归属。对这部小说的研究表明,正如叙事所表明的那样,烹饪实践通过不同的维度解构了阿拉伯裔美国人的身份,包括记忆、怀旧、杂糅和本质主义。除了采用批判和分析的方法来分析小说之外,本文还依赖于一个社会文化概念框架,该框架基于著名评论家和理论家的观点,如霍米·巴巴、布林达·梅塔、达伦·蒂莫西和斯图尔特·霍尔等。

The Power of Recipes: Culinary Practice as a Strategy to Deconstruct Arab-American Identity in Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent
Abstract Crescent (2003) is an example of the kind of Arab-American literature that has emerged noticeably in the early years of the 21st century. It signifies a hypothesis that culinary practice is an essential cultural component for diasporic figures to define their identities, especially in a multi-cultural society. These figures embrace such component to strategically define themselves and assert their belonging and affiliation to their original homelands. This paper, as such, examines the extent to which Arab-American characters in the novel, namely Sirine and Han, consider culinary practice as a key tool to understanding their identity, locate themselves in a multi-cultural society, and re-discover their true belonging. The study of this novel shows that culinary practices, as indicated in the narratives, deconstruct Arab-American identity through various dimensions, including memory, nostalgia, hybridity, and essentialism. In addition to employing critical and analytical approaches to the novel, this paper relies on a socio-cultural conceptual framework based on perspectives of prominent critics and theorists such as Homi Bhabha, Brinda Mehta, Dallen Timothy, and Stuart Hall, to name a few.
