摘要以四位英美女作家以及她们的中国叙事为研究对象,分析她们所塑造的四种不同的中国形象,揭露西方女性的中国想像重复了东方主义话语,把中国建构成美丽的东方和邪恶的东方两个矛盾的意象。西方女性的中国叙事反映了性别与种族的矛盾关系,女性东方话语作为东方主义话语中一个异质性的子话语,既挑战又巩固了男性东方主义话语。同时,这些作家通过对中国他者的想像完成了女性自我的建构。 This paper focuses on four English women writers and their China narratives. By analyzing the four different ways they write China, this paper shows that China has been shown as the ＂beautiful Orient＂ and ＂evil Orient＂. Thus the women writers＇ China narrative forms a differentiating part of the Orientalist discourse in the West by both challenging and reinforcing the masculine tradition. Meanwhile, white women writers have constructed their identity by imagining China as the Other.
