个体化视野中的进城务工女性想象

Imagination about Female Migrant Workers from the Perspective of Individualization

出现于20世纪80年代末的乡村女性进城务工,不仅是乡村女性与国家一起追求并参与全球现代性的现实行动,同时也开启了自身从角色到个人的个体化进程。当代作家对进城务工女性的想象主要采取了失身叙事、疼痛叙事与成长叙事三种模式,三者在书写进城务工女性的个人意识与现代性体验上的差异,表征着它们与现实之间的背离、介入与照亮关系。

Female migrant workers began to appear in the late 1980 s. Their working in the cities is not only a realistic practice for women from the countryside to join the nation’s pursuance of and participation in global modernity, but also an individualizing process for them to move from roles to individuals. Contemporary writers’ imagination about female migrant workers normally falls into three categories： deflowering narrative, aching narrative, and growing narrative. The differences among the three kinds of narratives in their writing about female migrant workers’ individual awareness and experience of modernity manifest these narratives’ betrayal of, involvement in and illumination of reality.
