论《芒果街上的小屋》中奇卡纳女性的空间困境

On the Spatial Dilemmas of Chicana Females in The House on Mango Street

《芒果街上的小屋》是桑德拉•希斯内罗丝的代表作,以一个孩子的视角展现了芒果街上奇卡纳女性生活的方方面面。本文基于女性视角,主要运用亨利•列斐伏尔的空间理论从物理、精神和社会三个层面展示了奇卡纳女性所处的空间困境,并结合文本语境和现实条件提出了合理化的范式,旨在解构权力关系严重失衡的空间,从而帮助奇卡纳女性在个人和集体两方面摆脱空间困境,实现身份的重塑。

As the masterpiece of Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street shows diverse aspects of Chi-cana females’ life on Mango Street from the angle of a child. Based on the female vision, the thesis mainly uses the spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre to demonstrate the spatial dilemmas of Chicana females from the dimensions of physical, mental and social space. The thesis also propounds reasonable paradigms with the textual context and social reality combined, aiming at deconstructing the spaces where power relations are largely unbalanced. Therefore, Chicana females can find ways to cast off the spatial dilemmas both as an individual and a community, achieving the reconstruction of identity.
