《圆屋》中美国本土女性的身份重构
发布时间：2018-09-06 18:57
【摘要】：路易斯·厄德里齐(Louise Erdrich,1954-)是第二波“印第安文学复兴”中的代表作家,也是迄今为止最具影响力的本土女作家之一。截至目前,她一共出版了十五部小说。其中第十四部小说《圆屋》(The Round House)于2012年面世并一举获得当年的美国国家图书奖,作者本人也因此作品于2014年被授予戴顿文学和平奖。《圆屋》以一起发生在保留地的性侵案开始,真实地展现了美国本土女性的生存困境:1/3的本土女性在她们一生中都会遭到性侵,其中86%都是由非印第安男性所为。由于同时兼具种族和女性双重身份,美国本土女性在主流社会往往也受到双重压迫。极具讽刺意味的是,在遭受白人文化入侵之前,印第安部落具有悠久的母系文化渊源,女性身份备受尊崇。然而白人父权制文化颠覆了她们的身份及地位,女性沦为他者,甚至被妖魔化。为了摆脱身份危机,本土女性不能坐以待毙,必须重新建构自己的本土及女性双重身份,在美国社会争得话语权,重拾自己的地位。本文将从女性主义出发,结合部分后殖民理论的观点及美国原住民的历史与文化,揭示美国当代本土女性的种族及性别身份危机。同时,通过分析小说中的女性形象,笔者亦将挖掘《圆屋》中隐含的身份重构策略,即女性主体意识的觉醒,传统文化的回归,和对法律公正的追求。本文由引言、正文及结论构成。引言简要介绍路易斯·厄德里齐其人,研究方法及意义,并将梳理国内外研究状况。正文第一章介绍小说中体现的种族和女性身份议题。第二章从小说中四位女性人物出发,分析印第安女性的女性身份危机和种族身份危机。第三章将依次从女性自我觉醒、回归传统、追求法律公正三个角度阐释厄德里齐在小说中暗示出来的本土女性身份重构策略。结论部分是对全文的进一步总结。
[Abstract]:Louise Erdrich,1954- is the representative writer of the second wave of Indian Literature Revival and one of the most influential local women writers. So far, she has published a total of fifteen novels. The 14th novel, the Round House, was first published in 2012 and won the National Book Award in 2012, and the author himself was awarded the Dayton Prize for Literature in 2014. A true picture of the plight of Native American women is that one third of native women are sexually abused throughout their lives, 86 percent of which are committed by non-Indian men. Because of both race and female identity, native American women are often subjected to double oppression in mainstream society. Ironically, before being invaded by white culture, Indian tribes had a long matrilineal culture and were highly respected as women. However, the white patriarchal culture subverts their identity and status, and women are reduced to others and even demonized. In order to get rid of the identity crisis, local women can not wait to die, they must rebuild their own local and female dual identity, and win the right to speak and regain their status in American society. Starting from feminism, combining the views of some post-colonial theories and the history and culture of Native Americans, this paper reveals the racial and gender identity crisis of contemporary Native American women. At the same time, by analyzing the female image in the novel, the author also excavates the identity reconstruction strategy implied in "Round House", that is, the awakening of female subject consciousness, the return of traditional culture, and the pursuit of legal justice. This paper is composed of introduction, text and conclusion. The introduction briefly introduces Louis Erdrich and his research methods and significance, and will sort out the research situation at home and abroad. The first chapter introduces the racial and female identity issues embodied in the novel. The second chapter analyzes the female identity crisis and race identity crisis of Indian women from the four female characters in the novel. The third chapter will explain the strategy of reconstructing native female identity from three angles of female self-awakening, returning to tradition and pursuing legal justice. The conclusion part is a further summary of the full text.
