重审永井荷风的《梅雨时节》——昭和初年的日本女性书写

Nagai Kafū's Tsuyu no atosaki-A Revisit:Japanese Women Writing about Early Showa Era

《梅雨时节》是永井荷风于1931年(昭和6年)10月发表于杂《中央公论》的一部长篇小说。自小说发表以来,很多批评家和研究者对小说中的女性角色展开了讨论,尤其是近年随着女性研究者的增加,永井荷风的女性认知成为学界争论的话题。本文基于这一讨论,并结合时代背景重审《梅雨时节》中的女性书写,揭示永井荷风对昭和初年(1926-1930)日本女性生存实态的关注和对女性自立的期待,同时指出这一期待的局限性,即只局限于文字层面,并未真正从现实中接纳日本女性作为社会活动参与者的这一身份。

Tsuyu no atosaki is a novel by Nagai Kafū,published in the journal Chūōkōron in October 1931.Since the novel's publication,many critics and researchers have discussed the female characters in the story,especially with the increase of female researchers in recent years,Nagai Kafū's female cognition has become a topic of debate.This theory is based on this discussion,combined with the background review Tsuyu no atosaki of women writing,reveal Nagai Kafū's attention to the survival reality of Japanese women and the expectation of female self-reliance in Early Showa Era(1926-1930),and points out that the limitations of the expectation,which is limited to the text level,did not accept Japanese women from reality as a participant in social activities.
