身体的越界 他者的发声——对《小无马地神迹的最后报告》的生态女性主义解读

“The Overstepping of the Body and the Utterance of the Other” ——An Interpretation of The last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse from the Perspective of Ecofeminism

美国印第安作家厄德里克在其多部小说中突出了女性与自然的联系,具有鲜明的生态女性主义意识,并且这一意识在她的数部小说中不断地被深化。厄德里克在《小无马地神迹的最后报告》中所体现出的生态女性主义意识带有显著的解构特点:女主人公的性别由社会和话语构建,并处在不断变化中,藉由这一形象厄德里克取消了男性和女性二元对立的界限;对于小说中的自然与人类之间的关系,厄德里克虽未取消这一对立关系的界限,但指出了结束对立的出路——让自然发出它的声音。

In her many books, Native American writer Louise Erdrich highlights the link between women and nature, distinguishing herself as a writer with ecofeminism consciousness. She constantly expends and deepens this consciousness in her novels over the years. The paper argues that in the novel The last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Louise Erdrich reveals her ecofeminism conscious- ness with the significant characteristics of deconstruction. On the one hand, she points out that in this novel the heroine＇s gender is constructed by society and discourse, thus is changing throughout the sto- ry. By creating this heroine＇s image, Erdrich canceled the boundary between male and female; on the other hand, dealing with the relationship between human and nature, Louise Erdrich doesn＇t use the same way of canceling this binary oppositions＇ boundary, but points out that letting nature speak for it- self and have a dialogue with human beings is the way to end their confrontation.
