跨文化视野中的性别协商——中国现代文人与伍尔夫女性主义

Gender Negotiation in Cross-Cultural Perspective——Woolf’s Feminism and Modern Chinese Literati

国人对伍尔夫女性主义思想的品评与接受始于20世纪上半叶,由几位与伍尔夫有过交往或接触的中国文人率先开启。徐志摩最初对伍尔夫抱有“背女性”的偏见,几年后却成为伍尔夫女性观忠实的拥戴者与传播者;对伍尔夫的“一间自己的屋子”的认同强化了林徽因的写作焦虑,并由此形成了林徽因女性书写的个人特质;受伍尔夫通信的鼓励及其著作的影响,凌叔华隐忍而模糊的女性写作意识开始趋于鲜明而坚定;40年代萧乾对伍尔夫女性主义思想的评析则带有了更多客观与理性的色彩。这些中国文人对伍尔夫女性主义观点的悦纳、认同、借鉴与述评,共同彰显了当时中国知识界敏锐、开阔的跨文化视野,以及在中西文化对话语境中渐趋审慎和理性的接受轨迹。

The evaluation and acceptance of Woolf’s feminism by Chinese people began in the first half of the 20th century,initiated by several Chinese literati who had contacted with Woolf.Xu Zhimo initially harbored a prejudice against Woolf,but a few years later he became the faithful supporter and disseminator of Woolf’s feminist views.The identification with Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own strengthened Lin Huiyin’s writing anxiety and thus formed her personal traits in female writing.Encouraged by Woolf’s communication and influenced by his works,Ling Shuhua’s restrained and vague female writing consciousness began to become clear and firm.In the 1940s,Xiao Qian’s analysis of Woolf’s feminist thought was more objective and rational.These acceptance,identification,reference,and commentary on Woolf’s feminist views collectively demonstrated the sharp and broad cross-cultural perspective of the Chinese intellectual community at that time,as well as the increasingly cautious and rational acceptance trajectory in the context of Sino Western cultural dialogue.
