文艺阐释学视域下的“第二性”浅析——以《三国演义》为例

Analysis of Second Sex in The Romance of Three Kingdo ms from Perspective of Literary Hermeneutics

《三国演义》作为一部彰显中国古代历史风云变幻下男性主人公地位的历史演义小说,表现出极端显著的男权主义色彩。在古代社会父权时代的统治下,女性丧失了其人的本质而异化为物,这是农耕文明下女性的悲剧。波伏娃作为当代杰出的女权作家,在《第二性》中分析了女性作为"第二性"的生物、精神、社会历史根源。女性作为人类的存在方式之一,从古典女性主义淑女、贤妻、良母的固定程式中逐渐挣脱走向现代社会独立的女性主义。在文艺阐释学视野下,以《三国演义》中女性角色为例,分析"第二性"在男权社会的存在问题,在阅读中去理解古代女性的存在方式,对当代女性的处境从生存走向解放具有重大意义。

The Romance of the Three Kingdo ms accounts winds and clouds of Chinese history from a man's perspective, conveying extreme flavor of male chauvinism. In ancient society, when patriarchy and agricultural civilization prevailed, women would face such a destiny of being materialized instead of being humanized. In the Second Sex, the authoress Beauvoir, the eminent feminist writer, examines the causes to women's tragedy from perspectives of biology, mind, and socio-history, and illustrates how they undergo transformation from a classical lady, to a good wife or good mother, until an independent individual. In light of literary hermeneutics, the present study analyzes women's images in the novel, and exposes their existence in the man-dominated society, giving some insights to contemporary feminist emancipation.
