被压抑的现代性:《白雪乌鸦》中的性别书写探究

Suppressed Modernization Modernization:A Study of Gender Writing in White Snow and Black Crow

作家迟子建《白雪乌鸦》以1910至1911年东北鼠疫为背景书写了傅家甸人在疫情期间的生活百态,日常生活史式的聚焦叙事方式将鼠疫与人之间的勾连展现得淋漓尽致。迟子建以几对夫妻的矛盾为切入点,集中表现中国向现代化过渡中的性别焦虑。《白雪乌鸦》采用隐喻与对比的性别书写艺术暗示了当时女性对传统性别秩序的质疑与反思、男性在男权社会中的迷失与异化,正是展现了这显示了女性意识觉醒前夕的“被压抑的现代性”。

Based on the plague in Northeast China from 1910 to 1911,White Snow and Black Crow,written by the writer Chi Zijian,is about the everyday lives of Fujiadian people during the epidemic period,the focused narrative style of daily life history shows vividly the connection between plague and human beings.Chi Zijian focuses on the gender anxiety in China’s transition to modernization through the contradictions of several couples.The gender writing art of White Snow and Black Crow,which uses metaphor and contrast,implies that women at that time questioned and reflected on the traditional gender order,and men lost and alienated in the patriarchal society.In fact,it reflects the“suppressed modernization”in the process of female consciousness awakening.
