【摘要】：汤亭亭是当代杰出美国华裔作家。她的代表作《女勇士》(The Woman Warrior:Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts)一经出版,即获得巨大成功。小说讲述一位中国母亲与在美国成长的女儿之间的故事。通过一位华人少女的成长经历,展示了中国传统文化与美国现实之间的矛盾、华人与白人的冲突、华人女性遭受的压迫和她们的反抗。《女勇士》刻画了丰富多彩的华人妇女形象。汤亭亭也被誉为争取女性权力的“女勇士”。印度籍美国女学者佳亚特里·斯皮瓦克的后殖民女性主义批评理论明确指出帝国主义霸权对第三世界女性的压迫以及男权社会对女性权利的剥夺。本论文以斯皮瓦克的理论为依据,从华裔美国女性所受的父权主义和帝国主义双重压迫的角度分析《女勇士》中女性话语的缺失现象,并分析女主人公为实现女性话语重获所做的种种努力与尝试。本文试图从女性话语缺失的表现、原因和重获的途径三方面探讨《女勇士》中女性话语的缺失与重获。首先,从当时的历史背景和母女两代美籍华人的生活经历出发,列举她们话语缺失的不同表现。其次,分析华裔妇女话语缺失的原因是由于受到父权和帝国主义霸权的双重压迫。处于家庭和社会的最底层,华裔妇女被剥夺了一切本应属于她们的权利,包括最基本的话语权。最后,剖析女主人公为重获话语权所做的努力与尝试,诸如敢于说话的鬼魂、完美的女英雄木兰、疯狂之后的发声、代表和平的歌声。沉默最终以各种方式被打破,女性话语的重获最终得以实现。
[Abstract]:Kingston is an outstanding contemporary Chinese American writer. Her masterpiece, female Warrior, was a great success once it was published. The novel tells the story of a Chinese mother and her daughter growing up in the United States. Through the growing up experience of a young Chinese girl, it shows the contradiction between Chinese traditional culture and American reality, and the conflict between Chinese and white people. The oppression of Chinese women and their resistance. Female Warrior depicts a rich and colorful image of Chinese women. Kingston is also known as a woman fighting for women's power. The post-colonial feminist criticism theory of Indian American female scholar Jayatri Spivak clearly points out the oppression of the imperialist hegemony on the women of the third world and the deprivation of women's rights in the patriarchal society. Based on Spivak's theory, this thesis analyzes the absence of female discourse from the perspective of patriarchal and imperialist oppression of Chinese American women. And analyzes the heroine's efforts and attempts to achieve female discourse recovery. This paper attempts to explore the absence and reacquisition of female discourse in female Warrior from three aspects: the expression, the cause and the way of repossession. First of all, starting from the historical background and the life experiences of the mother and daughter Chinese, the author enumerates the different manifestations of their lack of utterance. Secondly, the analysis of the lack of Chinese women's discourse is due to the double oppression of patriarchal and imperialist hegemony. At the bottom of the family and society, Chinese women are deprived of all their rights, including the most basic voice. Finally, it analyzes the heroine's efforts and attempts to regain the right to speak, such as the ghost who dares to speak, the perfect heroine Mulan, the voice after madness, and the singing of peace. Silence was finally broken in various ways, and the reacquisition of female discourse was finally realized.
