论《三个折不断的女人》后殖民女性主体身份建构

The Construction of the Postcolonial Women's Identity in the Three Strong Women

法国非裔女作家玛丽·恩迪亚耶在《三个折不断的女人》中塑造了三个浸没于种族、身份和文化冲突的女性角色,围绕此类前殖民地女性的独特身份和境遇展开的探讨,一直是后殖民批评的中心议题。小说中的三位女主人公在遭遇文化冲突和性别对立的双重挑战时,从主体缺失的失语状态,再到逐渐形成对身份的批判意识,最终解构父权制话语体系对自身的控制、重构自我存在的主体身份,这一过程不仅集中展现了后现代语境下兼具断裂性和多义性的后殖民女性主体身份,并在传统议题的基础上,完成从解构走向建构的历程,最终超越一般的社会及性别规约,形成具有"混杂"意义的身份话语体系。

Three Strong Women is the representative novel by African-French writer Marie NDiaye, which focuses on the issue of dual identity and mental suffering of three women. The identity and the situation of the former colonial women have always been the central issue of postcolonial criticism. When the three heroines encountered duel challenge of cultural conflicts and gender opposition, they finally deconstruct patriarchy discourse system after aphasia and the realization of identity consciousness. Based on the traditional topics, the purpose is not only to show the fracture in postmodern context and the ambiguity of postcolonial female subject identity, but also to complete its reconstruction process and form a ＂mixed＂ meaning of identity discourse system beyond the social gender conventions.
