摘要

在民族文学中，历史文化的过去不断地困扰着现在，产生当代叙事，强调遗产如何在维护民族身份方面发挥重要作用。从跨历史的角度来看，阿拉伯裔美国女性的叙事倾向于将安达卢斯(中世纪摩尔人西班牙)的历史转化为文化记忆，作为应对她们在美国生存的威胁的一种方式，特别是在9/11之后，以及抵制霸权文化。本文的目的是研究安达卢斯如何被视为文化记忆的构建，以及这个记忆场所如何重塑个人和集体身份。

Making History Usable: Al-Andalus as a Site of Identity Construction in Arab American Women’s Narratives

Abstract In ethnic literature, the historical and cultural past constantly haunt the present, producing contemporary narratives which emphasize how the heritage plays an essential role in preserving ethnic identity. From a trans-historical perspective, Arab American women’s narratives tend to turn the history of Al-Andalus (Medieval Moorish Spain) into cultural memory as a way of coping with the threats to their existence in the United States, particularly post-9/11, as well as of resisting the hegemonic culture. The aim of this paper is to investigate how Al-Andalus is intended to be seen as a construct of cultural memory and how this site of memory has the power to reshape individual and collective identity.
