川端康成“中间小说”女性视域下的男性形象

Male Images in Kawabata Yasunari's Intermediate Novels from the Perspective of Feminism

二战后由于民主主义观念的确立,女权运动的展开,传统上的女性概念日趋受到人们的挑战,这些无疑影响到了川端康成的创作,我们从女性阅读的批判视角来解读川端康成战后创作的"中间小说",其中塑造的诸多男性角色不仅缺乏做丈夫的责任与理智、做父亲的勇气与担当,也不曾拥有男人的大度与刚毅等优点,表现出作者对传统的男权中心地位的怀疑与消解,从而奏响了一曲现代父权文化衰落的哀歌,而这些也与川端康成受到战后现实精神的呼唤和对和平的美好生活的向往有关。

The traditional concepts of female have begun to face challenges because of the sense of democracy＇ s fostering and the femalism campaign＇ s launching after the Second World War. There is no doubt that these factors exert a significant influence on Kawabata Yasunari＇ s works. From the critical perspective of women, we will find that in his intermediate novels a lot of male characters not only lack the responsibility of becoming a husband and the courage of becoming a father, bui also lack man＇ s good qualities such as generosity, great fortitude and so on. These show us that Kawabata Yasunari doubts about the male supremacy and at the same time he tries to eradicate it. We can say that Kawabata Yasunari composes a sad song for the decline and fall of modem patriarchal culture. The war did great damage to the whole world. So all these are also related to Kawabata Yasunari＇ s appeal for the peaceful and better life.
