多元的当代澳大利亚女权主义小说

女权主义第二次浪潮造就了澳大利亚女性文学在20世纪七八十年代的再度繁荣。该时期的女权主义小说成为整个澳大利亚文坛的一大主导性音符。迄今为止,针对该类小说的分析和梳理还不够充分。本文将结合其历史渊源和文化影响来分析1970年以来的澳大利亚女权主义小说的三大主要分支——反文化再现、历史重构和实验性写作,从而展现当代澳大利亚女性写作多元、异质的特点和发展态势。

The second wave of feminism contributed to a new peak of Australian women's writing in the 1970s and 1980s.The feminist novels converged and became a keynote in Australian literary sphere of that time.Yet this subgenre of fiction has not received the critical attention it deserves.This paper attempts to examine the feminist novels since 1970 in their historical contexts and from their cultural influences.It focuses on three major branches of the feminist novels—countercultural representation,historical reconfiguration and experimental writing,so as to present the highly diversified and heterogenous features of the contemporary Australian women's writing.
