当代中国官场小说中的男权中心意识

Patriarchy-centered Ideology in Contemporary Chinese Officialdom Novels

20世纪80年代以来,叙写官场人事、描绘官员日常生活、揭露批判官场不良风气的官场小说大量涌现,这一现象显示出人们对中国现代化进程中政治改革问题的严肃思考和深切关注。但新时期官场小说在张扬正义和民主、鞭挞官场丑恶的同时,也对男权中心意识表现出或隐或显的迎合倾向。这主要迹见于小说文本中对女性形象"妖魔化"的塑造方面。官场小说中的女性抑或是男性魅力的反衬,抑或是更高权力的象征,抑或是丧失女性特征的"异类",乃至是男性堕落的主因。这种对女性形象的否定性描写,可谓是残留着或抱有男权中心封建观念的曲折写照,理应引起警觉及认真思考。

Since the 1980s,a large number of officialdom novels sprang up,with the themes that narrated the officialdom personnel,depicted the officials＇ daily life,exposed and criticized the bad practice of the officialdom.This phenomenon shows people＇s serious thinking and deep concern about the political reform in the process of China＇s modernization.In the new period,the officialdom novels publicize justice and democracy and castigate the ugliness of the officialdom.But in the meantime,they cater to the patriarchy-centered ideology implicitly or explicitly,and this mark is mainly seen in the shaping of females＇ demonization.The women in the officialdom novels serve as a foil to male charm,or the symbol of males＇ higher power,or the alien who has lost the feminine features,and even the main reason for male＇s corruption.These negative descriptions of female images can be called the twisted portrayals of men＇s despicable mentality and the vestigital or possession of feudal ideas,which should be alerted and seriously considered.
