ABSTRACT This paper will conduct a reconfiguration of nation as a more inclusive space which includes ambivalent migrants, who are also global citizens. Thus, nation comprises subjects who are more or less than just the ideal national citizens. It will explain the liminal spaces that these migrants occupy in between the nation and the global world. The objective of this study is to define nation beyond the geographical boundaries and in terms of the transnational and diasporic identities. The narration of nation is integrated with the ambivalent modernity, cultural transformation, migration patterns, post-9/11 resurgence of American nationalism and its impact on Pakistani diaspora living in America. In The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Hamid conceives the shift in modern life, but expands his range and focus to the shifting national identities vis-à-vis the global citizenships. When framed through nation, and diaspora, these shifting identities reflect the shifting postcolonial scene.

矛盾的身份和阈限空间：Mohsin Hamid 的《不情愿的原教旨主义者》中民族和侨民身份的重构

摘要 本文将国家重新配置为一个更具包容性的空间，其中包括矛盾的移民，他们也是全球公民。因此，民族包括或多或少不仅仅是理想的民族公民的主体。它将解释这些移民在国家和全球世界之间占据的界限空间。本研究的目的是根据跨国和侨民身份来定义超越地理边界的国家。民族叙事与矛盾的现代性、文化转型、移民模式、9/11 后美国民族主义的复兴及其对居住在美国的巴基斯坦侨民的影响相结合。在《不情愿的原教旨主义者》中，哈米德设想了现代生活的转变，而是将他的范围和重点扩展到与全球公民相比不断变化的国家身份。当通过国家和侨民构架时，这些不断变化的身份反映了不断变化的后殖民场景。
