构建女性中心的文学批评话语——伊莱恩·肖瓦尔特的“女性批评学”研究

Constructing a Woman-Centered Discourse of Literary Criticism:A Study of Elaine Showalter's Gynocritics

伊莱恩·肖瓦尔特(Elaine Showalter)于20世纪70年代提出的"女性批评学"是英美女性文学批评的核心理念,对于确立女性中心的文学批评话语、构建英美女性文学史和塑造女性主体身份具有重要的指导意义。本文主要考察"女性批评学"的理论内涵和述评国内外对该理论的批评研究,试图在当代语境下对"女性批评学"作出较为全面客观的评价。

Gynocritics,which was proposed by Elaine Showalter in the 1970s,is a key concept in Anglo-American feminist literary criticism,exerting important influence on the establishment of a woman-centered discourse of literary criticism.This concept has helped cultivate female subjectivity and initiate the start of Anglo-American female literary history.This paper mainly studies the theoretical connotations of Gynocritics and reviews critical research on Gynocritics from scholars at home and abroad,in an attempt to offer a relatively comprehensive and objective evaluation of Gynocritics in contemporary contexts.
