【摘要】：多丽丝·莱辛,2007年度诺贝尔文学奖获得者,为战后的英国文学做出了巨大贡献。莱辛早期有过在殖民地生活的经历,因此她体验到殖民主义的罪恶以及作为女人在这样的环境中生活的艰辛。在成为作家之后,莱辛对于女性的生存状态以及其对自身身份完善的问题给予了持续的关注,尤其是其作品中对女性如何追寻自身完整身份的描写受到女性主义者的推崇。在莱辛的代表作《野草在歌唱》中,她描写了一位受到父权制和殖民主义双重压迫,遭遇身份危机,经历自我救赎却以结束生命而失败的白人女性玛丽,有很强的代表性和警示作用。国内外学者从多个视角对多丽丝·莱辛的《野草在歌唱》进行研究并且成果丰硕,分别从后殖民主义、女性主义、生态女性主义、心理分析以及二元对立解构等视角进行分析研究。但是已有的关于身份的研究主要针对殖民统治下的黑人,尤其是黑人女性。这就在一定程度上忽略了处于同样社会背景下的白人女性,她们也面临身份困境。本文试图通过分析白人女性被边缘化的他者身份,其自我身份重建的历程以及探讨造成其身份危机的社会根源和精神因素,从而揭示出在殖民社会,殖民思想的内化,父权制的渗透对女性的双重压迫以及女性自我意识的觉醒和强大对于其自我重建的重大意义。在多丽丝·莱辛的《野草在歌唱》中,主人公玛丽就是一位处于殖民社会中,并且终其一生都在试图摆脱自己他者身份的白人女性代表。本文运用历时法分析了在不同的时期玛丽作为一名白人女性面临身份危机时是如何进行身份重建的。本文通过主体的三章内容对玛丽重建自身身份的三个阶段进行了分析,分别是：玛丽的童年时期,玛丽的成人时期以及玛丽的婚姻生活。在这三个时期,玛丽试图通过拒绝婚姻来改变当时传统女性的低下社会地位；积极地争取工作机会力求达到经济独立的目的；婚后因为对自由的渴望而毅然逃离婚姻的束缚以及带着对殖民思想意识的质疑,展开对真爱的追求。同时,玛丽在自我救赎历程中完成了从无意识反抗到有意识追求的转变。通过运用历时法这一研究方法,本文一方面探讨出了导致玛丽自我重建失败的外在和内在原因,借此帮助读者认识到致使玛丽遭受痛苦的以父权价值为主导的殖民社会以及见证玛丽作为同时代白人女性的代表对自身身份的完整性的不断追求。同时,女性对自身身份完整性的寻求与当代女权运动所关注的内容相吻合,所以本文可以为女性身份寻求提供参考从而推动女性的解放。另外,本文也希望为广大身处边缘地位的女性起到警示作用以及为面临困境的现代女性提出具有实际意义的关于自我重建的建议。
[Abstract]:Doris Lessing, winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature, made great contributions to postwar English literature. Lessing lived in a colony early, so she experienced the evils of colonialism and the hardships of living as a woman in such an environment. After becoming a writer, Lessing paid continuous attention to the living state of women and the perfection of their own identity, especially the description of how women pursue their complete identity in his works was highly praised by feminists. In Lessing's masterpiece, Wild Grass in singing, she describes a white woman, Mary, who was oppressed by patriarchy and colonialism, who suffered from identity crisis, experienced self-salvation but failed to end her life. Has the very strong representativeness and the warning function. Scholars at home and abroad have studied Doris Lessing's Wild Grass singing from a variety of perspectives with fruitful results, from the perspective of post-colonialism, feminism and eco-feminism, respectively. Psychological analysis and dual opposition deconstruction and other perspectives of analysis and research. However, the existing studies on identity mainly focus on black people under colonial rule, especially black women. To some extent, this ignores white women in the same social background, they also face identity dilemma. This paper attempts to reveal the internalization of colonial thought in colonial society by analyzing the identity of the other marginalized white women, the course of their self-identity reconstruction and the social and spiritual factors that cause the crisis of their identity. The penetration of patriarchy exerts double oppression on women and the awakening and strength of female self-consciousness are of great significance to self-reconstruction. In Doris Lessing's Wild Grass in singing, Mary, the protagonist, is a white female representative who is in a colonial society and has been trying all her life to get rid of her other identity. This paper uses diachronic method to analyze how Mary reconstructs her identity as a white woman in different periods. This paper analyzes the three stages of Mary's reconstruction of her identity through three chapters: Mary's childhood, Mary's adulthood and Mary's marriage. In these three periods, Mary tried to change the low social status of the traditional women by refusing marriage, striving actively for the job opportunities to achieve the goal of economic independence. After marriage because of the desire for freedom and resolutely escape from the bondage of marriage and with the question of colonial ideology the pursuit of true love. At the same time, Mary completed the transformation from unconscious resistance to conscious pursuit in the process of self-redemption. By using the diachronic method, this paper, on the one hand, explores the external and internal causes of Mary's failure in self-reconstruction. In order to help readers realize that Mary suffered the patriarchal values of the dominant colonial society and witness Mary as a contemporary white women on behalf of their identity of the continuous pursuit of integrity. At the same time, women's seeking for their identity integrity coincides with the contemporary feminist movement, so this paper can provide reference for women's identity seeking and promote the emancipation of women. In addition, this paper also hopes to serve as a warning to the majority of marginalized women and to put forward some practical suggestions on self-reconstruction for modern women facing difficulties.
