论村田沙耶香《方舟》中的性别意识

Gender Awareness in Murata Sayaka's Hakobune

在当代文学研究中,性别视角是研究女性身份问题的一个重要维度。2016年芥川奖获奖作家村田沙耶香的作品《方舟》里细致刻画了当代日本女性对于身份问题的疑惑与期盼。本文基于性别视角,解读当代都市女性的生存状态及其对自身命运与情感的思考。囿于社会传统价值观,日本都市女性在女性身体特征、性与性别身份的认知上承受着压力与束缚,而这又激发了她们对性别规范的反抗。

Sayaka Murata, winner of the Akutagawa prize in 2016, describes contemporary Japanese women＇s contemplation of identity and identity crisis in her novel Hakobune. From the perspective of gender studies, this article analyzes this work to understand the living conditions of contemporary urban women in Japan and their thoughts about their own destiny and emotional life. Constrained by traditional values, Japanese urban women suffer physically and cognitively from pressures on their female body, sexual identity and gender performance, which sparks their resistance to gender norms.
