【摘要】：“妇女主义”的概念来自美国黑人女作家爱丽丝·沃克。作为女性主义的衍生物,妇女主义不仅集成了西方女性主义和美国黑人女性主义理论的精髓,更将其内涵拓展为来自各色人种的全体妇女的平等与解放。在沃克的小说《紫色》中,几位黑人妇女挣脱了压迫的枷锁,认识到自我的价值,改变了自身的命运,一起携手前行。小说别具一格,以书信的形式和原汁原味的黑人方言为读者展现了美国南方农村一个黑人大家庭中几位女主人公实现自我的过程。作者用朴实感人的语言栩栩如生地塑造了主角西里的形象,在她从觉醒到转变的过程中,我们看到了黑人妇女遭遇种族、性别与阶级的三重压迫,看到她们坚韧不拔,积极向上的人生态度,也看到了一个饱经沧桑的古老民族璀璨的传统文化。值得一提的是,沃克提倡的妇女主义,在鼓励女性大胆追寻自我的同时,也强调团结和包容男性,使其共同成长。《紫色》中的父子,阿尔伯特与哈珀,从最初打骂老婆的家长,到改变自己,成为家庭真正的坚强后盾,这个巨大的转变过程正是该思想的体现。与激进的黑人女性主义不同,妇女主义强调用女性的自立与宽容去引导男性的转变,最终达到两性的平等与和谐。然而,颇受争议的是沃克对于妇女主义者的一项定义。她认为女同性恋者亦是妇女主义者。在《紫色》中,女主角西里的觉醒与转变主要受其同性恋人莎格的引导。部分学者批评沃克这一观点是对基督宗教的亵渎与不敬。沃克本人实则并非女同性恋的倡导者。黑人妇女身处社会最底层,唯有团结起来才能改变命运,获得平等自由。在沃克看来,女性之爱是走投无路的黑人妇女求得自身解脱和独立的一种方式,一种途径。她并非大肆鼓励女性之爱,而是宽容地认可其在女性自我觉醒过程中所起的积极作用。女性最终则与男性融合,平等,和谐。本文以妇女主义的视角来对小说《紫色》做尝试性的话语分析。导论部分概述作者生平及小说《紫色》的研究现状。正文共四个章节。前三个章节分别概述女性主义,黑人女性主义及妇女主义的发展过程及重要思想。第四章节探讨小说中角色的塑造,女性关系的意义,父权压迫及团结互助,以及黑人姐妹情谊。结束部分总结沃克的妇女主义思想及其积极意义。
[Abstract]:The concept of "feminism" comes from Alice Walker, a black American writer. As a derivative of feminism, feminism not only integrates the essence of western feminism and black American feminism, but also extends its connotation to the equality and liberation of all women from all ethnic groups. In Walker's novel Purple, several black women break the shackles of oppression, recognize the value of themselves, change their destiny, and move forward hand in hand. The novel is unique, with the form of letters and the authentic black dialect for the reader to reveal the process of several heroines realizing themselves in a black family in the rural areas of the United States of America. In the process of her awakening to transformation, we see black women being subjected to the triple oppression of race, gender and class. Positive attitude towards life, but also see a long-lived ancient nation resplendent traditional culture. It's worth mentioning that Walker's feminism, while encouraging women to pursue themselves boldly, also emphasizes solidarity and inclusion of men to grow together. The father and son of Purple, Albert and Harper, from the beginning scolded the parents of their wives. To change oneself, to become the real strong backing of the family, this huge process of change is the embodiment of this thought. Different from the radical black feminism, feminism emphasizes the use of women's independence and tolerance to guide the transformation of men, and ultimately to achieve equality and harmony between the two sexes. What is controversial, however, is Walker's definition of a womanist. She thinks lesbians are also womanists. In Purple, the heroine's awakening and transformation are mainly guided by her gay self, Zagger. Some scholars criticized Walker for blasphemy and disrespect. Walker himself is not a lesbian advocate. Black women are at the bottom of society. Only when they unite can they change their destiny and gain equal freedom. In Walker's view, female love is a way and a way for black women to seek their own liberation and independence. Instead of encouraging women's love, she is tolerant of its positive role in women's self-awakening. Women are eventually integrated with men, equal and harmonious. This paper makes a tentative discourse analysis of the novel Purple from the perspective of feminism. The introduction part summarizes the author's life and the research status of the novel Purple. The text consists of four chapters. The first three chapters summarize the development process and important thoughts of feminism, black feminism and feminism respectively. The fourth chapter discusses the characters in the novel, the significance of female relations, patriarchal oppression and solidarity, as well as black sisterhood. The last part summarizes Walker's thought of feminism and its positive significance.
