发布时间:2019-04-29 11:22
【摘要】:弗兰纳里·奥康纳(1925-1964)是美国二战后杰出的女作家,她被公认为继福克纳后著名的南方作家,并且与第二代南方女作家如卡森·麦卡勒斯,尤多拉·韦尔蒂和凯瑟琳·安·波特等齐名。在短暂的一生里,她创作了两部长篇小说《智血》(1952)、《暴力夺取》(1960)和三十一篇短篇小说,部分收录在《好人难寻》(1955)以及死后才被整理出版收录了全部短篇小说的《奥康纳小说全集》(1965)。作为二战后美国文学史上非常独特的女作家,她的作品受到了许多评论家和读者的喜爱。 南方性,宗教性和女性身份是奥康纳身上三个独特的标志。自从作品出版以来,就引发了国内外评论家多层面的解读。而这些解读主要集中在她的宗教性、神学立场,哥特式风格和女性主义上。由于国内很少有论文研究她对南方女性身份认同危机的关心,所以本文主要从她女性作家的身份考虑,通过对作品的分析,来阐述奥康纳作品中女性身份危机的不同表现及所处的困境,来表现奥康纳作为女性作家对南方女性身份危机的关心。 本文的第一章分析了奥康纳小说中常见的女性模式,她们是被惩罚的母亲们。其中一类是极具男性气质的女性,还有一类是永远活在过去不能接受现实的女性,她们在时代的变迁中无法正确的自我定位,无法形成完整的自我身份,她们的悲剧结局是必然的。 第二章分析奥康纳笔下叛逆的女儿们。她们受过很高的教育,是新生的一代,她们初受女性意识觉醒的启发,极力想摆脱传统身份赋予的枷锁,却由于自身局限性,在现实生活中显得不伦不类。母亲和女儿们殊途同归的命运暗示了她们在构建完整的自我身份时要有很长的路要走。 第三章探讨了这些经历身份危机的女性们陷入的生存困境。她们在自我身份的构建过程中受到来自自己的质疑,也受到来自外界男权社会的冲突。在和男权社会抗争的过程中,她们异变成理想的他者,自我的他者,最终走向无法解脱的困境。 奥康纳以一种不带浪漫色彩的感受关注着南方女性,她用独特的视角挑战着南方传统的价值观,即使被指责为“厌女”患者,她始终尝试着为现代女性提供一种救赎方式,如何构建身份认同,成为真实而完整的人,始终是她最关心的问题。
[Abstract]:Flannery O'Connor (1925 / 1964) is an outstanding American female writer after World War II. She is recognized as a famous southern writer after Faulkner, and with the second generation of southern writers such as Carson McCullers, Eudora Welty and Catherine Anne Porter are well-known. In her short life, she wrote two novels, "intellectual Blood" (1952), "seizure of violence" (1960), and 31 short stories. Part of it is published in the hard to find the good Man (1955) and the full Collection of O'Connor 's novels (1965), which was published only after his death. As a very unique female writer in the history of American literature after World War II, her works are loved by many critics and readers. Southern, religious and female identity are three unique symbols of O'Connor 's body. Since the publication of the work, it has triggered the multi-level interpretation of critics at home and abroad. These interpretations focus on her religious, theological, Gothic style and feminism. Since there are few papers in China to study her concern about the crisis of female identity in the South, this paper mainly considers the identity of her female writers, and through the analysis of her works, In order to show O'Connor 's concern as a female writer for the crisis of female identity in southern China, this paper expounds the different manifestations and difficulties of the female identity crisis in O'Connor 's works. The first chapter of this paper analyzes the common patterns of women in O'Connor 's novels, who are punished mothers. One of them is a very masculine woman, and the other is a woman who will always live in the past and cannot accept the reality of the past. In the vicissitudes of the times, they cannot correctly define themselves and form a complete self-identity. Their tragic endings are inevitable. The second chapter analyzes O'Connor 's rebellious daughters. They have been highly educated and are the new generation. Inspired by the awakening of female consciousness, they try hard to get rid of the shackles given by traditional identity, but because of their own limitations, they appear to be incoherent in real life. The fate of mothers and daughters implies that they have a long way to go in building a complete self-identity. The third chapter discusses the survival dilemma of these women who have experienced the identity crisis. They are questioned by themselves in the process of self-identity construction and conflict from outside patriarchal society. In the process of fighting against the patriarchal society, they become the ideal other, the self-other, and finally go to the difficult position that cannot be extricated. O'Connor follows women in the South with a feeling that is not romantic. She challenges the traditional values of the South from a unique perspective, even though she is accused of being a "misogyny" and has always tried to provide a way of redemption for modern women. How to construct identity and become a real and complete person has always been her most concerned issue.
