女性主义与20世纪中国女性小说母性主题的演变

“五四”以来,中国女性小说的母性主题分化为讴歌神圣母爱与反思母性缺陷两条线索。新时期之后,在西方女性主义文化观念与文本创作的影响下,前一条线索发展为母女结盟、共同反抗父权统治的有效策略,后一条线索则体现出消解母性神话、挖掘女性人生复杂性的特征。表面看来,这一特征与西方女性主义回归前俄狄浦斯阶段的母性家园的精神指向相对立,从本质上说却与它殊途同归,并更具中国本土特色。

Feminism and Development of Maternity in 20th Century's Chinese Women's Fictions

Since May Fourth Movement,the maternal theme in Chinese women's fictions was divided into two clues,one is the praise of holy maternal love,the other is the review of maternal defects.From the beginning of New Era,with the influence of both western feminist cultural concepts and literary texts,the first clue has been developed into an effective strategy of mother-daughter's alliance and refusal of patriarchal domination,while the second one has displayed some new characteristics,such as the deconstruction of maternal mythology,expression of complexity in women's life.These characteristics seem to be antagonistic to the return of maternal home in pre-oedipus phase,but actually,they share the essential similarity with western ideas and show more local Chinese specialty.
