“寻找男子汉”、“女强人”文学与女性性别身份认同

Female Identity and the Fictions of "Seeking for the Real Man" and"Strong Woman" in the Early New Period

新时期之初,当中国女性进入由语言和法则所构成的象征界,试图完成自我主体身份认同的时候,由于缺乏属于自己的话语体系与理论,女性无法为自己的性别身份和性别立场获得合法的社会地位。没有话语理论作支援的女性"突围表演",只能沿用包含男权思想的话语曲折隐晦地表达自己的反抗愿望,凭借已有的话语理论为女性争取自我实现空间。而一旦运用这种话语,女性就会步入男权社会的权力逻辑,就会被禁锢于一个她们原本想反抗的权力结构之上。这就是新时期之初中国女性写作所面临的困境,也是女性主体身份建构、性别身份认同所遭遇的围困。"寻找男子汉"、"女强人"文学和"我首先是一个人,然后才是一个女人"宣言的流行和陷落,正是这一困境的表现。

In the early New Period, Chinese women could not make their own identity and gender position legal in the literary circles consisting of language and rules because they were lack of their own discourse system and theory. They had to express their revolt vaguely and struggle for self - actualization by using existing male discourse at that time. As soon as using the male discourse, Chinese women bad to follow the male society logic and were confined to the male power they want to rebel. This is the difficulty which Chinese women writers faced in the early New Period. Meanwhile, this is also the difficulty for the construction of female identity. The fictions of ＂seeking for the real man＂and＂ strong woman＂, the announcement of＂ First I am a human, then a woman＂ were all the representations of this difficulty.
