限制与可能:儿童小说中智障儿童的主体性建构

Limitations and Possibilities: The Subjectivity Construction of Mentally Retarded Characters in Children's Fictions

智障儿童是儿童中特殊的一个群体,如何建构智障儿童的主体性,是对这类题材的儿童小说的挑战。《你是我的宝贝》和《我是白痴》这两部智障儿童题材的儿童小说在叙事中构建儿童主体性方面的特点,一是侧重于智障儿童的限制性的认同,既写出了其生命的困境,同时也忽略了其能动性;二是侧重于"善"的价值认同,写出了其天真、稚拙的一面,同时也将其特征静态平面化,忽视了其在更高层的需求下不断成长的一面。

The mentally retarded children is a special group and it is a challenge for the construction of the subjectivity from the mentally retarded children in children's fictions.Subjective characteristics of children are narratively constructed in the two fictions,You are My Baby and I am an Idiot,in which the themes are about mentally retarded children.The former stresses the identification with the restraints of the mentally retarded children,involving the dilemma of their lives and ignorance of initiatives.The latter emphasizes the value recognition of“kindness”,including naive and staticizing the characteristics so that the growth with the needs of higher levels is neglected.
