“身体叙事”的历史文化语境与美学特征——林白、埃莱娜·西苏的对读及其它

The Historical and Cultural Context of Body Narrative and Its Aesthetic Features

20世纪90年代以来,以林白等为代表的'身体叙事'是中国文学女性性别意识由浑沌而彰显的必然结果.'身体叙事'集中从身体的层面,对男性话语封锁进行了突围,并采取了鲜明的女性立场与视角.林白小说与埃莱娜·西苏理论话语的暗合,不仅有力地证明了'身体叙事'的上述美学特征,亦显示出其在理论建构及文本实践中一些不可忽视的局限所在.

Body Narrative has been employed by many Chinese female writers, most notably Ms Lin Bai, ever since the 1990s. This is inherent in the development and sharpening of sexual awareness on part of the female writers. Breaking the blockage of male discourse, Body Narrative takes an obvious and fresh female stance and viewpoint. The coincidence between Lins novels and Hélène Cixouss theoretical discourse does not only prove emphatically the aesthetical features of Body Narrative, but also reveal some major flaws in their theoretical construction and textual practice.
