女性书写中的区隔与抵抗——以《一个女人》和《好儿女花》为例

Distinctions and Resistance in Feminine Writing—Centered on A Woman and Good Children of the Flower

女性的非虚构写作是连接个体记忆与集体记忆,女性的“边缘”体验与公共表达的桥梁。安妮•埃尔诺的《一个女人》和虹影的《好儿女花》书写了不同代际和文化背景中女性所面临的相似的社会困境,以及女性在性别与阶层的双重区隔中,为把握自己的命运而进行的抵抗与努力。但区隔一直存在,抵抗仍然是一项未竟的事业。面对不平等的社会结构,我们可以建立一种反本质的身份认同观念,以“主体位置”来取代“主体”,以“性别操演”代替性别本质;发展出一套“颠覆话语”,让区隔被分解,让被遮蔽的话语权力得以显现。

Female writers’ non-fiction writing is a bridge between individual memory and collective memory, women’s “marginal” experience and public expression. Anne Elnor’s A Woman and Hong Ying’s Good Children of the Flower write about the similar social dilemmas faced by women in different generations and cultures, as well as their resistance and effort to take control of their destinies in dual distinctions of gender and class. But distinctions persist, and resistance remains an unfinished business. Faced with unequal social structures, we can establish an anti-essential concept of identity, replacing “subject” with “subject position” and gender essentialism with “gender performance”;and using a set of “reverse discourses” that make distinctions brake down and the veiled discourse powers reveal.
