人体油画、镜子和写作——贝弗利·法默《格洛提萨》中的象征

Nude Painting,Mirror and Writing——Symbols in Beverley Farmer's Gerontissa

澳大利亚女权主义作家贝弗利.法默的短篇小说《格洛提萨》关注女性自己的人生体验,以意识流的创作手法展现了一位老年知识女性格洛提萨抚今追昔的感慨和哀伤。格洛提萨对自己青春时代的缅怀、对两任丈夫以及画家情人等的追忆以人体油画、镜子和写作贯穿始终,呈现了女性在男权社会里作为客体和他者的命运,同时也揭示了知识女性矛盾的内心世界。

The short novel Gerontissa by the Australian feminist writer Beverley Farmer highlights women＇s real life experience with the technique of stream-of-consciousness. It presents Gerontissa-an old educated woman＇s reminiscent touch of the youth and sentimental grief over the old age. In her recall of the past about her youth, two husbands, the painter lover and others, is the ubiquitous recurrence of her nude painting, mirror and writing, which gives an insight into the ambivalence of educated women＇s inner world as well as unfolds women＇s destiny as ＂object＂ and ＂other＂ in a patriarchal society.
