自审·批判·超越——试析20世纪女性写作的自审视角

On the Self-examining Angle in the Female Writings of the 20th Century

20世纪女性写作有一个鲜明的自审视角,所谓的自审,指向的是男权文化传统积淀下来的女性丑恶和她的本质弱点。凌叔华、张爱玲、王安忆、铁凝等一批女作家感应时代的氛围,切入到对女性文化负面的不同观照层面,和对类的自我作出了灵魂审视和冷峻批判。对女性"恶"的批判审视是为了女性精神的更新和超越,是为了建构成熟健全的新型女性人格。她们的女性写作在20世纪女性文学史上有着特殊的意义和价值。

There is a conspicuous self-examining angle in the female writings of the 20th century. By self-examination is meant the exposure of female hideousness and inherent demerits stockpiled under the impact of male-power tradition. In response to the temporal atmosphere, a host of female writers, such as Ling Shu-hua, Zhang Ai-ling, Wang An-yi and Tie Ning, have managed to picture and criticize the cultural defects of females in different aspects. They lash at the defects of females in their writings in order to bring about changes in female spirit and to construct a brand-new female personality. In a word, their writings are of much significance and value in the female literary history of the 20th century.
