男性的“圣母”想象——论李佩甫小说《城的灯》女性叙事的谬误

Males' Image of "Notre Dame": the Fallacious Female Narrative of "City Light"

李佩甫的长篇小说《城的灯》具有明显的男性化女性叙事的特点,男性作者塑造了一个具有中国传统道德品质的女性形象,并将其"圣母"化来作为弥合城乡差距、解救乡村困境的工具。这种"女性叙事"反映了当代男性作者及其代表的社会主流话语所持有的女性观念依然打上了深刻的男权烙印和男性中心意识。这种女性观念是男性对女性自以为是的"圣母"想象,是女性叙事的谬误。

The female narrative in ＂City Light＂ is obviously characterized with a masculine color, in which the male author created a female image of traditional Chinese ethics and idealized her as the ＂Virgin Mary＂ to bridge up the gap between the rural and the urban areas as a rescue for the rural plight. This narrative as such presents clearly the prejudice of maseulinism and man-centeredness held by the contemporary male authors and the mainstream social discourse represented by these authors. This male concept of female is a self-righteous imagination of ＂Virgin Mary＂, and a fallacious female narrative.
