失落的“女勇士”——空间视域下《法国中尉的女人》中萨拉的自由追寻之路

The Disappointed “Woman Warrior”——Sarah's Pursuit of Freedom i n The French Lieutenant's Woman from the Perspective of Space Theory

在保守、刻板、沉闷的维多利亚时代,《法国中尉的女人》中女主人公萨拉试图用身体反叛的方式冲破父权空间规训的樊笼,寻求独立与自由。利用福柯的权力空间和异质空间理论,解读萨拉的空间位移轨迹,即从马尔巴勒宅邸到韦尔康芒斯再到罗塞蒂的住所,萨拉终究没有逃离维多利亚时代强大的父权空间表征,其自由追寻之路最终以失败而告终。

In the conservative,rigid and dull Victorian era,Sarah,the heroine of The French Lieutenant's Woman,tried to break through the confinement of the patriarchy by body rebellion,and seek independence and freedom.This paper uses Foucault's Power Space Theory and Heterogeneous Space Theory to interpret Sarah's spatial displacement trajectory,that is,from Marlborough House to Ware Commons and then to Rossetti's residence,Sarah did not escape from the powerful representation of patriarchal space in the Victorian era,and her pursuit of freedom ended in failure.
