自主主体缺位下的母性放逐——《温柔之歌》中的女性镜像

The Absence of Autonomous Female Subjectivity and Exile of Motherhood——the Female images in Chanson Douce

法国摩洛哥裔女作家蕾拉·斯利玛尼的龚古尔文学奖作品《温柔之歌》通过解构当代女性身份,揭露后现代语境下自主女性主体缺失、女性谱系及主体间性断裂所引发的母性危机、家庭危机乃至人性危机。女主人米莉亚姆与保姆路易丝两位主人公相互对立又紧密相连,她们的主体建构与欲望转变展现出女性符号的多义性,反映了资本社会象征秩序中女性失语、母性流放与婴儿之死背后的“人之死”隐喻。小说书写了当代女性面临的身份困境,更传达了对母性的关注及面向他者的伦理诉求。

French-Moroccan novelist Le la Slimani,winner of Prix Goncourt for Chanson Douce,portrays in this novel Myriam and Louise,two opposing but closely related female characters.While deconstructing the contemporary female identity,the author exposes the motherhood crisis and even the human crisis caused by the absence of autonomous female subjectivity and the fracture of intersubjectivity in the postmodern context.The characters’subjective construction and their transformation of desire demonstrate the metaphor of“the death of human beings”hidden in the exile of motherhood and the death of the nursling.The author expressed the concern for motherhood and called for the inclusiveness of the other.
