中西方文化交汇中的女性命运——兼论赛珍珠的文化立场的嬗变

The Female Destiny in the Clash of Eastern and Western Cultures——Together with a Research on the Changeable Standpoints of Pearl S. Buck

兼具中西方文化背景的赛珍珠,常常以双重文化视角审视笔下的女性命运。她尤其关注中西方文化交汇中的女性命运,她们或在两种文化交锋中遭到毁灭,或完全拜倒在西方文明的脚下,背弃传统文化,或在两种文化的对照中完成精神的涅槃和新生。不同女性命运的展现也体现出赛珍珠文化立场的嬗变。

Pearl S. Buck, embraced with the eastern and western cultures, often judges the female image through bi-cultural perspectives. She pays special attention to the female destiny in the mixed cultures, under which some women may go to wreck, prostrating themselves before the western civilization and forsaking the traditional culture, while the others may rise like a phoenix from its ashes in the interconnection of two cultures. It is through the display of different female destinies that the changeable standpoints of Pearl S. Buck were embodied.
