伽里马之死——对《蝴蝶君》的后殖民女性主义视角解读

The Death of Gallimard-Discuss on M. Butterfly from the Perspective of Postcolonial Feminism

《蝴蝶君》是以冷战背景下一位法国外交官与一位中国京剧旦角演员之间的间谍谜案为主线,以著名歌剧《蝴蝶夫人》作为颠覆的原型而创作的。剧中的殖民关系主要表现在性别关系上,从作为西方殖民者的代表—男性伽里马与东方被殖民者的代表—女性宋丽玲之间的博弈来看,性别关系的重构具有至关重要的地位,要想彻底颠覆殖民关系必需先颠覆性别关系。

M. Butterfly is a spy case between a French diplomat and an actress of Beijing opera, it is composed base on the famous opera Madam Butterfly. The colonial relationship in M. Butterfly is mainly gender relationship. From battle between the representative of West-ern colonizer-Gallimard and the representative of Eastern colonized-Song Liling, one can come to the conclusion that because of recon-structing the gender relationship plays an essential role, so if colonized people want to subvert colonial relationship radically, they should first subvert gender relationship.
