论伊丽莎白·乔莉小说的后现代戏仿

On the Postmodern Parody in Elizabeth Jolley's Works

后现代主义戏仿在解构传统的同时保持了文化的连贯,伊莉莎白·乔莉将戏仿的这一特性运用在她的大多数作品里。她借助戏仿传统婚礼、童话原型、经典的女人形象以及男性眼中的女性美标准,来嘲讽并重宣正统男权社会的审美及伦理标准,颠覆但并不显偏颇,从而得以轻松地讲述女人的故事,避开了一般性的伦理解读和道德批评。

Postmodern parody paradoxically enacts both deconstruction and cultural continuity, which is demonstrated in most of Elizabeth Jolley＇s works. She parodies orthodoxical weddings, fairytales, feminine beauty and phallus-centered beauty standards to mock and at the same time to reiterate the patriarchal, heterosexual aesthetics. Her thrust is rather to include than exclude, consequently, she enjoys the freedom to tell the peculiar women＇s stories, evading the possible ethical judgment.
