《聊斋志异》:男权意识的退却与持守

Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio: Withdrawal and Cautiousness of the Male-centered Consciousness

蒲松龄在《聊斋志异》中所展示的男性立场,既是自由意志与诗性灵魂的张扬外显;又是男性中心主义及强权意识的执着内敛。花妖狐魅的招摇过市固然艳惊俗世,但却无法从根本上摆脱对父系纲常的委顺与归依。男权意识的退却与持守,是《聊斋志异》中始终无法完全消弭的一对矛盾,但这却使小说所塑造的“丑女”、“愚男”等一系列两性形象,独具一种深刻隽永的文化象征意味。

The male position in Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio by Pu Songling is not only the publicizing of liberty and soul but also the cautious persistence in the might and male-centered consciousness. Though charming women's blatantly seeking publicity is conspicuous, their appearance still can't break away from the obedience to the males. The withdrawal and cautiousness in Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio is an everlasting contradiction, which helps to portray the image of 'ugly women' and 'foolish men' with a profound and cultural symbolic meaning.
