母狮、猎人与女性的命运共同体——《母狮的忏悔》文学伦理学解读

The Fate Community of the Lioness,the Huntsman and Women:Rereading Confession of the Lioness in Light of Ethical Literary

米亚·科托的小说《母狮的忏悔》是一部为莫桑比克社会边缘女性发声的小说。科托在小说中以诗意的语言描述了库鲁马尼村子中不可调和的人兽冲突,表达其关于人性与动物性的思考,继而通过展演具有多元伦理身份的女性遭遇的生存伦理困境,批判父权制对女性的剥削与压迫。结合小说创作的历史语境,以“文学伦理学”为切入视角,探究马里阿玛是如何突围“女性不存在”的生存伦理困境,以及如何历经多元伦理身份的转换后成为“存在的女人”,并与真正的“人”阿尔坎如联盟形成女性命运共同体。

Mia Couto’s Confession of the Lioness is a novel that gives a voice to women on the fringes of Mozambique society.In his novel,Couto described the irreconcilable human-animal conflict in Kurumani village in poetic language,expressed his thoughts on human and animal nature,and criticized patriarchy’s exploitation and oppression of women by writing about the survival ethical predicament faced by women with multiple ethical identities.In combination with the historical context of the novel,this paper,from the perspective of “literary ethics”,explores how Mariama broke through the survival ethical dilemma of “women of inexistence”,and how Mariama became an “existing woman” after the transformation of multiple ethical identities,and how she formed an alliance with the real “human” Arcanu to establish a female destiny community.
