在“双性视角”下书写“阴性特征”——拉希德·布佳德拉的自传体小说《一个失眠女人的夜记》

Writing Female Characteristics from an“Androgyny”Perspective The Autobiographical Novel Nights of an Insomnia Woman by Rachid Boujdra

阿尔及利亚左翼小说家、诗人拉希德·布佳德拉的自传体小说《一个失眠女人的夜记》因作家在创作手法和内容上的突破引起评论界的热评。热评的焦点在于,身为男性的作者为何用女性第一人称书写自我?小说叙事者以阴性第一人称“我”的叙事在怎样程度上突破了阿尔及利亚女性主义创作?笔者以为,从“文本互文性”和“双性视角”理论依据出发,可以解读该作家创作该小说的两个意图:将写作作为一种心理治疗;在“双性视角”下书写自我“阴性特征”,以此建构作者自我主体的多样性。然而,问题来了,作者以阴性第一人称“我”的叙事在怎样程度上突破了阿尔及利亚女性主义创作?笔者以为,当男性作家将目光投射到女性身体上时,文本会出现两种可能:一是帮助女性解放自我身体;二是走向反面,反而成为女性对自身表述的障碍。后者恐怕是男性作家始料不及的。

The autobiographical novel“The Nights of an insomnia Woman”by the leftist Algerian novelist and poet Rachid Boujdra has caused a shock from critics and readers due to the author’s breakthroughing in both of creative and content technology.The points raised are centered on:Why does the male author write himself in the female narrator?To what extent does the female“I”narrator in the novel breakthroughs the Algerian women’s creativity zone?I see that from the two theories“intertextuality”and“Androgyny”,we can explain the two intentions of the writer in creating the novel:writing as a psychological therapy;writing the feminine self from an“Androgyny”perspective to build the diversity of the male author’s subjectivity.However,the question is,to what extent does the female narration of the male author“I”breakthroug the Algerian feminist region of creativity?I see that when the male writer focuses his attention on the female body,there are two possibilities in the text:one is to help women free their bodies;the other is to go to the other doctrine,so that literary creativity becomes an obstacle that prevents women from expressing their true themselves.The latter is probably unexpected by the male author.
