论《梦系古巴》家庭空间的女性书写

On the Female Writing of the Domestic Space in Dreaming in Cuban

古巴裔美国作家克里斯蒂娜·加西亚的经典小说《梦系古巴》偏重于女性角色的描写,具有鲜明的空间特征。透过空间理论的棱镜可揭示,小说中微观层面上的家庭空间言说着男权空间表征,而男权空间表征压迫着生活在其中的女性。身处被边缘化、他者化的逆境,构建与物理空间平行的心理空间、掌握对家庭空间的控制权是女性的应对之策。这些举措取得的成效虽有所不同,但都在一定程度上冲击了家庭空间中不公的性别秩序。考察《梦系古巴》中家庭空间的性别处境可为人类社会的和谐发展提供借鉴。

Dreaming in Cuban,a classic novel by Cuban-American novelist Cristina García,focuses on the delineation of female characters and has distinct spatial characteristics.Through the prism of spatial theories,it can be revealed that the domestic space at the micro level in the novel speaks about the male-dominated representation of space,which oppresses the women living in it.Despite the adversity of being marginalized and otherized,the women respond by constructing a mental space parallel to the physical space and wresting control of the domestic space.Although the results of these measures vary,they all impact,to a certain extent,the unfair gender order in the domestic space.Examining the gender situation of the domestic space in Dreaming in Cuban may contribute to developing a harmonious human society.
