19世纪英国女性小说疾病叙事及其伦理选择

Disease Narrative in British Female Novels in the 19th Century and Its Ethical Choices

19世纪英国女性小说中出现不少疾病叙事现象,疾病叙事是作家铺展故事伦理线索、建构复杂人物关系与情感扭结的有效手段。这些女性作家的疾病叙写和艺术实践,与古希腊亚里士多德的"中值理论"、中世纪奥古斯丁等人的宗教伦理学、新教改革派伦理学以及英国功利主义伦理学思想理念等具有一定的渊源关系。疾病叙事可以见出女性作家伦理意识与伦理选择的时代性、混融性与交互性,亦可反观19世纪伦理观念及伦理实践之明显局限,在性别、阶级、宗教、科技等层面,具有悖反性、双重性、神秘性、自反性等特征。

There are many disease narrative phenomena in British female novels in the 19 th century.Disease narratives is an effective means for writers to spread the story ethical clues and construct complex relationships and emotional kink.The disease narratives and artistic practice of these female writers established a certain relationship with ancient Greek Aristotle＇s Nicomachean ethics（namely,the ＂median theory＂）,the ethics of medieval Augustine and others religious ethics,Protestant reformist ethics,and the British utilitarian ethical ideas.The ethical awareness and ethical choices of female writers are characterized by epoch,blending and interactivity through disease narratives.Furthermore,it can also observe the obvious limitations of its ethical concepts and ethical practice in the reverse direction in the 19 th century,such as the characteristics of rebelliousness,duality,mystery and reflexivity in the aspects of gender,class,religion,science and technology.
