生态女性主义视域下的“北达科他四部曲”

Analysis of“North Dakota Tetralogy”from the Perspective of Eco-feminism

路易斯·厄德里克的"北达科他四部曲"描写了白人种族主义和男权文化侵蚀下的印第安女性遭受歧视与迫害的现状,并着力重塑坚守土地的女性形象,使本土女性的传统力量在当代社会中得以复原。她们坚守部落文化传统,维护家庭完整与社区和谐,引导迷失的印第安后代走出身份危机。厄德里克着力提升女性地位,并通过模糊性别、种族界限等策略,探索实现印第安民族与其他民族和谐共存的美好愿景,表现出生态女性主义的创作倾向。

＂North Dakota Tetralogy＂ by Louise Erdrich not only reveals the sufferings of native American women caused by white racism and male chauvinism, but also it remolds strong women images maintai- ning family＇s integrity and harmony, sticking to Indians＇ traditions and culture, and guiding the younger generation with split identity to return to completeness. Erdrich advocates the harmony and coexistence be- tween men and women, the native Americans and the white, as well as all the creatures on the earth. She explores the way of realizing this ideal social pattern through blurring and transcending gender and race. And feminist tendency can be found in her writing.
