女性艺术家的成长:论《奥兰多》中的异质空间建构

Growth of Women Artists:On the Construction of Heterogeneous Space in Orlando

《奥兰多》集中呈现了弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫对女性艺术家精神成长之途的思考。它首先使主人公通过跨越地理疆域的旅行而拥有了开阔的人生;吉卜赛营地的另类世界亦成为女性实现性别平等的一块空地;神奇变性的奥兰多更是通过换位思考获取了观察事物的双重视角。通过冲破地域、种族与性别壁垒的跨界书写,伍尔夫以三重异质空间的建构,完成了对男性大师的文学经典《浮士德》的女性主义修正。

Novel Orlando concentrates on Virginia Woolf＇s insights into the spiritual growth of women artists. Firstly,it allows the protagonist to broaden ＂his＂horizon through traveling across the geographical boundaries. And encountering with gypsy camp suggests that this special context could be seen an exclave for women to achieve gender equality. Moreover, the magic transformation in gender enables Orlando to observe and think from dual perspectives.By trans-boundary writing in the aspects of territory, race and gender, Woolf completes the construction of triple heterotopias and thus achieves her feminist amendment to literary canon Faust written by male literary master.
