摘要

戴安娜·阿布·贾比尔的《新月》巧妙地将对身份的追寻融入了一个浪漫的爱情故事。本文采用了阿明·马卢夫的作品《以身份的名义:暴力和归属的需要》中的一个新身份概念来探讨这个问题。它调查了女主人公西琳在生活中所面临的身份困境,她在阿拉伯和美国之间相互冲突的忠诚。它认为,由于缺乏Maalouf所说的“互惠”,她的挣扎被放大了。西林发现融入阿拉伯主流文化太难了。她周围的阿拉伯人不接受她,她的反应是坚持自己的阿拉伯身份。本文认为,即使是很小的互惠行为也可以减少她的身份困境。

Identity Dilemma and the Lack of Reciprocity in Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent
Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent astutely interweaves the search for identity into a romantic love story. This article approaches it using a new identity concept found in Amin Maalouf’s work In the Name of Identity: Violence and the Need to Belong (Les identités meurtrières). It investigates the identity dilemma that the female protagonist, Sirine, faces while living in-between her conflicting Arab and American allegiances. It argues that her struggle is amplified by the lack of what Maalouf calls “reciprocity.” Sirine finds it too difficult to assimilate into the mainstream Arab culture. Arabs around her do not accept her, and she reacts by upholding her Arab identity. This article maintains that even small acts of reciprocity can reduce her identity dilemma.
