《紫色》中女性主体意识的探寻与建构

On the Exploration and Construction of Female Subject Consciousness in Purple

艾丽斯·沃克在其代表作《紫色》中真实再现了父权制背景下黑人妇女的种种生活境遇。在男性的压迫下,以西莉为代表的女性逐渐丧失了自身的主体意识,最终沦为家庭的奴隶及父权制的帮凶。在西莉女性主体意识觉醒与探索的过程中,身边女性的榜样起到了至关重要的作用,她们开始了反抗男权压迫、寻求自我的征程。女性不仅依靠自己的才能获得了经济独立,还赢得了男性的尊重,在与男性的和谐相处中进一步实现自我价值。这不仅展示了沃克的“妇女主义”思想,也表达了她对男女两性从对峙走向理解、从而实现和谐生存的美好期盼。

Alice Walker truly reproduces the various life situations of black women under the background of patriarchy in her masterpiece Purple.Under the oppression of men,women represented by Celie gradually lost their subject consciousness and eventually became slaves of the family and accomplices of patriarchy.However,under the influence of the women around them,their subject consciousness began to awaken and began the journey of resisting male oppression and seeking self.They not only relied on their own talents to obtain financial independence,but also won the respect of men,and further realized their self-worth in the harmonious coexistence with men.This not only shows Walker′s"feminism"thought,but also expresses her beautiful expectation of men and women from confrontation to understanding,so as to realize the harmonious survival of all mankind.
