性病隐喻与两性身体叙事——中国现代文学中的“性病”意象探析

The Metaphor in Venereal Diseases and Bisexual Body Narration

性病是中国现代文学中最典型的疾病意象之一,对性病的关注涉及对妓女生活的想象,而性别文化身份的差异在对妓女的叙事上体现为两种不同的身体叙事方式。男性主体的中心意识使文学创作更多地表现为人民伦理的宏大叙事,体现着"民族—国家"的"大意义";女性的历史边缘处境使女性书写更多地呈现为自由伦理的私人叙事,作为一种"小意义"而存在着。对于文学作品中出现的性病,宏大叙事侧重于把女性身体编织进政治、道德、历史的意义圈,强调女性身体的公共性;私人叙事强调性病之于女性的私人经验,呈现女性身体的私人性。

The venereal disease is one of the most typical disease images in modern Chinese literature, the venereal diseases involves the imagination of prostitutes＇ life. Gender differences in the cultural identity of the prostitute narrative embodies two different physical narrative forms. The male - centered consciousness makes their literature manifest a grander narrative for people＇s ethics, and embodies the ＂grand significance＂ of ＂nation -State＂. The historical marginalization of women makes women writing present a more private narrative for free ethics, existing as a ＂micro - significance＂. Rgarding the venereal diseases in literary works, grand narrative focuses on wearing the female body into political, moral, historical meaning loops, and stresses the public nature of female body. Private narrative stresses the private experience about the venereal diseases, showing privacy of female body.
