从《谋生》看吉尔曼的生态观与两性观

Gilman's perspective on ecology and gender in Making A Living

夏洛特·帕金斯·吉尔曼在《谋生》中详细描述了主人公努力创业谋生的过程。文本一方面体现了人类在创造生存条件的同时也能顾及生态环境,另一方面体现了男女主人公如何通过互相尊重和欣赏实现两性的平等以及生活中的和谐相处。通过对《谋生》中经济和自然环境关系以及两性关系的分析,深入探讨吉尔曼女性主义观点以及生态和谐思想,认为《谋生》完美地融合了吉尔曼的两性观与生态观。

In her work Making a Living, Charlotte Perkins Gilman describes in detail the process of how the protagonist starts an undertaking to make a living. The story on the one hand indicates that while creating survival condition, people can also give consideration to ecological environment; on the other hand demonstrates how the male and female protagonists achieve equality and live in harmony by mutual respect and appreciation. Through the analysis of the relationship between economy and natural environment as well as that between men and women, this paper probes deeply into Gilman＇s feminism thinking and her ecological views, and believes that this story is a perfect combination of Gilman＇s gender perspective and her ecological view.
