“否定之否定”式女性觉醒——析维尔登小说《最可怕的恐惧》

Female Awakening from the"Negation of Negation"--Analysis of Weldon's Novel Worst Fears

费·维尔登(Fay Weldon)是20世纪70年代开始享誉世界的英国当代作家、评论家和剧作家。她的小说以女性独特的视角演绎了一部女性社会学历史,涉及女性心理、家庭和情感等主题。在50多年的创作历程中,她完成了约40部小说。几乎每一部小说都指向女性社会学的某个方面,从女性身材、怀孕生产过程到女性就业、犯罪、教育等各个方面。小说《最可怕的恐惧》(Worst Fears,1996)中,维尔登构建了虚构女性文本社会模型,她从女性心理层面到女性行动层面,以超越常规,打破界限的方式,塑造了具有“否定之否定”辩证思想的女性形象,以维尔登式的创意写作方式警醒着当代女性。
