《英国情人》:一种虹影式的性别焦虑

The English Lover:The Hong Yingian Gender Anxiety

旅居英国的女作家虹影在海外华文世界是颇受争议的获奖专业户,《英国情人》堪称其坚持女性重写历史的先锋作品之一。运用相关女性主义理论,探讨性别视域的书写争议与文化冲突的焦虑母题,通过这种渗透历史叙述与文化冲突的女性主体意识来解读虹影式的性别焦虑情节。

Hong Ying,now living in England,is the most controversial prize-winner in the world of overseas Chinese literature,while The English Lover is her most pioneering work on rewriting history from a female point of view. This essay employs feminist theories,and explores into the reading problems in gender writings and the anxiety motifs in cultural clashes. The female consciousness assimilated in the historical narrative and cultural communication reflects some gender anxiety complex of Hong Yin herself.
