關凱文《瘋狂亞洲富豪》中的社會階層和衝突

Social Class and Conflict in Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians 

摘要:

     本文旨在分析小說《瘋狂亞洲富豪》中起因於社會階級造成的中途和其解決方式。文本分析和文化研究方法是分析此小說的兩種主要方法。文本分析有助於揭示文學作品潛藏的許多微妙之處，這些細微之處旨在供敏銳的讀者覺察。除了文本分析外，文化研究的方法能檢視階級如何形塑出社會階層，並探究小說與社會現實的映照。研究者使用上述方法發現小說中不同的社會階級如何引發和調和衝突。

Abstract:

     The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the conflicts arising from social class and their resolution in the novel Crazy Rich Asians. Textual analysis and the approach of cultural study are the two main methods employed to analyze the novel. Textual analysis helps to uncover many subtleties latent in a piece of literary work that are intended for a sensitive reader to detect. Along with textual analysis, the approach of cultural study, which examines how class is formed as a social stratification, is employed to explore the reflection of social realities in the novel. I use the above methods to analyze the novel and to discover how different social classes evoke and reconcile their conflicts.

Keywords: Crazy Rich Asians, Kevin Kwan, social class, class conflict
