《我的安东尼亚》“边缘化”的男性与生态家园的重建

My Antonia "Marginalized" Male and Reconstruction of Ecological Home

薇拉·凯瑟(1873年—1947年)的“内布拉斯草原”系列小说因描写欧洲各国移民在美国的特殊经历而又被称为拓荒系列小说。凯瑟在小说中刻画的女性人物因性格鲜明,深入人心而成为评论界的焦点,但《我的安东尼亚》中也描绘了一批有代表性的男性角色,勾绘了他们从“边缘化”的主体转变为“被边缘化”的客体,这一思想转变的心路历程。揭示了作为主体存在的男性角色是如何克服困惑和迷茫,摆脱掉父权制的影响,而又历经向女性和自然的生态靠近,达成了与女性和自然的和解,最终在生态意识的唤醒和感召下,与女性一起开启了人类精神家园的生态重建。

The female characters portrayed by Cather in the novel have become the focus of the critics because of their distinctive characters and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, In My Antonia, she also depicts the mental transformations of male thoughts with representatives, that is, from "marginalizing" subject to "marginalized" object with expounding how the male character as the subject can get rid of the influence of the patriarchal system, and experiencing the process of dilemma and confusion, finally achieving the ecological proximity to women and nature, reaching a reconciliation with women and nature. Under the awakening and inspiration, with women together, they began the reconstruction of ecology and e human spiritual home.
