刍议《年轻的古德曼·布朗》的生态女性关怀

On the Ecofeminist Appreciation in Young Goodman Brown

美国浪漫主义代表作家纳桑尼尔.霍桑的短篇小说《年轻的古德曼·布朗》以精炼、充满隐喻和象征的语言引发了学界对小说本身所蕴含的深刻哲理和思想内涵的多维度、多视角的深层解读,小说对清教父权社会、原始自然生态、父权价值体系中女性角色嬗变有着细致入微的描写,这与生态女性主义有关父权社会与自然生态和女性意识的关系理论契合,彰显了小说特有的生态女性关怀,即生态自然超灵异象启示下清教徒对父权文化的疏离和反思,以及女性传统角色突变引发的清教父权意识消解。

The short story Young Goodman Brown written by Nathaniel Hawthorn,the representative writer of the American romantic literature,with its profound philosophy and ideology from the refined,metaphorical and symbolic language,elicits deep interpretations of multiple scholastic dimensions and of various critical points.The subtle description of the patriarchal society of Puritanism,the primary natural ecology and the change of women＇s role under the patriarchy echoes the ecofeminist theories in treating the relation between patriarchal society,natural ecology and women＇s consciousness,manifesting the special ecofeminist appreciations of the story,that is,the puritan＇s deviation and introspection of patriarchal culture enlightened by the transcendental mystery of natural ecology,as well as the deconstruction of puritanic patriarchal consciousness triggered by drastic alteration of traditional role of women.
