从《珀涅罗珀记》看神话重构

Reconstruction of Classical Myth from the Story The Penelopiad

站在女性主义立场看,经典神话几乎都是以男性视角为主导书写出来的。因此,为了重建女性话语权,女性作家就要大胆地重构神话,赋予神话以鲜明的现实意义。玛格丽特·阿特伍德的代表作《珀涅罗珀记》展示了女性作家如何通过叙事视角的置换,在当代社会语境中解构男权社会的话语体系,颠覆男权思想,重构女性神话。本文以珀涅罗珀为研究对象,在系统梳理阿特伍德作品中“反奥德赛”线索的基础上,以苏珊·兰瑟的叙事声音理论为支点研究了《珀涅罗珀记》的叙事策略,反映了女性作家对于男性视角下的神话重构。

From the perspective of feminism,almost all the classic myths are written with male ideology as the leading factor.Therefore,in order to reconstruct women’s discourse power,female writers boldly reconstruct myths and endow them with distinct practical significance.The story The Penelopiad,the representative work of Canadian female writer Margaret Atwood(1939-),shows how female writers deconstruct the myth tradition of male dominated society,and subvert male dominated thoughts to reconstruct female myth in the contemporary society.Taking The Penelopiad as the research object,and on the basis of the ideas of“Anti-Odyssey”in Atwood’s works,this paper studies the narrative strategies of The Penelopiad based on Susan Sniader Lanser’s theory of narrative voice,and displays the female writers’myth reconstruction against the males’perspective.
