摘 要:
近几年来华裔美国文学在中国学术界受到越来越多的关注，也涌现了许多优秀的华裔美国作家。谭恩美就是其中之一，并一直被认为是把华裔美国文学带入美国主流文学的先锋人物。1989年33岁的她，发表了处女作《喜福会》，一经问世即获得巨大成功。非比寻常的洞察力和高超的写作技巧使谭恩美已经成为美国文坛少数族裔作家的代表人物。《接骨师之女》是她的第四部小说，同样是以她所熟悉的母女联系为主题。该小说描述了在美国出生的华裔女性露丝与她在中国出生长大的母亲茹灵之间的矛盾；同时，也演绎了茹灵与她的母亲宝姨之间的生生死死的联系。在这三代母女之间，存在着冲突与对立，发生了很多痛苦的人生悲剧；小说中的三位主人公都是通过文字的方式来诉说，英语论文题目，记录下她们各自的经历也帮助她们自己从创伤中恢复。在小说的最后，英语毕业论文，母女之间都互相理解，各自也从创伤中走出来。本文是从创伤理论的角度来解读《接骨师之女》中的母女联系，并且通过创伤理论来探讨她们之间产生矛盾的原因。通过探讨得出结论：创伤理论可以为读者提供了一个新的视角来理解此类文学。
