【摘要】：在美国文坛,凯特·肖邦是19世纪末期的一位杰出而具有影响力的女性作家。在十八世纪九十年代初期,她曾发表了两篇短篇小说集《河湾人》和《阿卡迪亚之夜》,这两本小说集奠定了她作为具有地方色彩的优秀作家的文学地位。1899年,凯特·肖邦发表了自己的代表作《觉醒》。这本书主要是描写一位聪慧,敏感,勇敢的女性在获得精神上的觉醒之后大胆追求自己自由独立的生活的故事。肖邦前卫而大胆的创作思想使得这本书成为一部罕有的佳作。本文主要分析凯特·肖邦体现在《觉醒》中的解构主义思想及策略。笔者希望通过对作品中所具有的解构主义因素的解剖能够帮助读者更好的理解和欣赏《觉醒》这本书的艺术精髓。首先,本文通过分析凯特·肖邦对《觉醒》中三组二元对立的大胆颠覆来体现她的解构主义策略。书中主要体现出的三组二元对立分别是：道德/性欲；理智/情感；男性/女性。解构主义者认为,由于逻各斯中心主义的存在以及人们对其孜孜不倦的追求,二元对立的两方必定总是处于不平等的等级秩序中,即：一方永远处于中心位置,而另一方则处于边缘位置被人们忽略。而《觉醒》中所体现出的三组二元对立在维多利亚时期表现尤为明显。由于当时宗教,以及父权制文化的盛行,人们思想偏保守,男性总被认为比女性强,所以当时道德,理智和男性这三者毫无疑问的处于中心位置,而性欲,情感和女性则是被压抑的对象,处于边缘位置。书中凯特·肖邦大胆描写了艾德娜的婚外情以及她对性自由的勇敢追求。在肖邦的笔下,性欲和情感二者的重要性不言而喻,这二者被重置于中心位置。此外,在父权制文化中,男人始终是强者,而书中女主人公和男性人物身上所体现出的雌雄同体特质则反映出肖邦对男性/女性这组二元对立的消解。肖邦对这三组二元对立的颠覆来为读者刻画出了一位聪慧,独立,勇敢的新女性形象。接下来,本文主要通过阐述肖邦对传统女性形象的颠覆来进一步探讨她的解构主义思想。作者主要从书中出现的三位主要女性形象着手分析肖邦对传统女性的颠覆。书中的两位女性形象艾德娜和芮茨都是肖邦颠覆传统女性的最佳例证。最后,作者认为凯特·肖邦试图通过对书中三组二元对立和传统女性形象的解构从而来打破传统中那些僵硬,刻板的消极女性形象,与此同时,她试图构建出能够大胆追求独立和自由的一种新型女性形象。
[Abstract]:Kate Chopin is a prominent and influential female writer in the late 19th century. She has published two collections of short stories, the Man of the Rivers and the Night of Acadia, which established her literary status as an excellent writer with a local color. Kate Chopin published her masterpiece, Awakening. This book is about an intelligent and sensitive person. The story of brave women pursuing their own free and independent lives after a spiritual awakening. Chopin's avant-garde and bold creative ideas make this book a rare masterpiece. This article focuses on the analysis of Kate Shaw. The author hopes that by dissecting the deconstruction factors in his works, the author can help readers better understand and appreciate the artistic essence of Awakening. Firstly, by analyzing Kate Chopin's bold subversion of the three groups of dualistic opposition in the Awakening, this paper presents her deconstruction strategy. The three groups of dualistic antagonism in the book are: morality / libido, reason / emotion, etc. Men / women. Deconstructionists believe that, because of the existence of logos centrism and the tireless pursuit of it, the two sides of duality must always be in an unequal hierarchical order, that is, one side is always at the centre, The other side was marginalized, and the three groups of dualistic opposition embodied in the Awakening were particularly evident in the Victorian era. Because of the prevalence of religion and patriarchal culture at that time, people were thinking conservatively. Men were thought to be better than women, so morality, reason and men were unquestionably at the centre, while sexuality, emotion, and women were repressed. On the margins. Kate Chopin boldly describes Edna's affair and her brave quest for sexual freedom. In Chopin's writings, the importance of both sexuality and emotion is self-evident, and both are reset to the center. In patriarchal culture, men are always strong, And the hermaphroditism of the heroine and the male character in the book reflects Chopin's resolution of the dualistic opposition of men and women. Chopin's subversion of these three sets of dualistic antagonisms portrays for the reader a wise and independent man. A brave new female image. Next, This paper mainly discusses Chopin's deconstruction thought by expounding Chopin's subversion of traditional female image. The author analyzes Chopin's subversion of traditional female from the three main female images in the book. Edna and Ritz are both prime examples of Chopin's subversion of traditional women. Finally, the author believes that Kate Chopin tries to break down the rigid, stereotypical negative female images by deconstructing the three sets of dualistic and traditional female images in the book. She tried to build a new female image that boldly pursued independence and freedom.
