不同文本 不同声音——20世纪40年代男、女作家小说中女性形象比较研究

Different texts,different voices——A comparative study of women characters in the novels by 1940s' men and women writers

20世纪 40年代 ,男、女作家的小说创作在塑造现代女性形象时是两种文本、两种声音。同是女性对个人的坚执 ,男作家看来是自私、残忍 ,女作家看来则为对自我的尊重 ,对自由的尊重 ;同是女性对欲望的狂炽 ,男作家看来是淫荡 ,女作家看来则是自我生命成熟的标志 ,自我生命意识的张扬。男作家看来 ,如此 ,女性解放走上了反面 ,女作家看来 ,如此仍不够 ,仍不足以撼动男性中心世界的根基 ;男作家的创作有一股郁结之气 ,女作家创作则让人感到世界荒凉。对于人们进一步思考男权社会里女性处境、地位和命运不无启发意义。

In the 1940s, there existed two different texts and two different voices in men and women writers' creation of modern women characters in their novels. In terms of women's persistence in individuality, men writers regarded it as selfish and cruel, while women writers respect for self and freedom. As for women's enthusiasm about desire, men writers viewed it as licentious, whereas women writers the symbol of maturity as well as spread of consciousness of one's life. Therefore, in the eyes of men writers, women's liberation had turned into its opposite, but women writers held a different opinion -- their writings were still not strong enough to shake the very foundation of male-centered world. One can sense a deep gloom in men writers' works, in contrast, women writers' novels make one feel the world's barrenness and desolation. All these are enlightening in leading readers to take a further consideration upon women's situation, status, and fate in the male world.
