女娲原型:1949-1976新中国文艺女性形象解读

Nvwa Archetype: Analysis of the Female Images in New China Literature(1949—1976)

采用西方原型理论解读1949-1976新中国文艺作品中的女性形象,发现在该时期女性形象塑造中存在中国远古女娲原型:她们被赋予了代表丰收、繁衍的文化含义;在人物塑造上按照女英雄的人物模式进行;她们身上都有造福集体主义事业的无私情怀;以及作为压迫阶级代言人所表现的悲苦精神。女娲原型在该时期文艺中再现的原因与社会环境、延安文艺的影响、艺术家的民间文化背景等多方面密切相关。

Using western archetype criticism theory to analyze the female images in New China's(1949—1976) literary works, we find Nvwa archetype of ancient China in female images in this period: they are endowed with rich cultural connotation representing harvest and reproduction; the creation of characters are based on the archetype of heroines; women in those stories are all selfless to benefit the career of collectivism, and are also miserable spokespeople for the oppressed. The reoccurrence of Nvwa archetype in the literary works of this period is closely linked to the contemporary social environment, the impact of Yan'an literature and art, and the folk art background and so forth.
