无声的呐喊--福勒对“花语”意象的书写和超越

Silent Yelling--the Writing and Transcendence of Fuller’s Flower Image

"花语"是玛格丽特·福勒作品中颇具思想性的重要意象之一。从超验主义与女性主义相结合的视角来看,福勒在其散文《庞恰特雷恩湖旁的木兰》中,通过对无声"花语"加以拟人化的神话性建构,有意使得这一意象成为指导鼓励女性自主发声、促进女性自立的有力途径。福勒对"花语"意象的塑造和书写超越了"花语"的传统涵义,赋予其坚韧、自立的新品质,反映出福勒对社会中女性生存现状的思考以及试图为解决女性问题提供具有实践性的方法。

"The language of flower" is one of the most thoughtful images in Margaret Fuller’s works.From the perspective of transcendentalism and feminism,the silent language of flower,in Fuller’s prose The Magnolia of Lake Pontchartrain is personified and constructed with myth,contributing to make it become a powerful way to guide and encourage women to speak out their voices and promote women to be independent.Fuller’s "flower language" surpasses the traditional meaning of flowers and endows it with new qualities of perseverance and independence,which reflects Fuller’s thinking on the current situation of women’s survival in the society and her attempts to provide practical methods for solving female problems.
