被“凝视”的女诗人——也论狄金森研究中的几个重大争议

Poetess being gazed at:several significant issues in the study of Emily Dickinson

本文从女性美学的角度讨论了国内外一百多年狄金森研究史中存在的重大争议,如其诗歌的来源、诗歌的传统、诗歌的系统性以及女性诗人形象的建构等,进而指出这些争议的实质来源于男权美学对女性作家身分的"凝视",而这种男性尺度在评价女性创作时存在诸多局限。

This article discusses, from the perspective of female aesthetics, several significant issues in the study of Emily Dickinson in the past 100-plus years, including source of poetry, tradition of poetry, system of poetry, and construction of poetess image. It points out that the dissensions are the result of patriarchal gaze at female writer, and the evaluation of female writings with male standards cannot escape from various limitations.
