玛姬？吉的《冰人》对霸权性男性气质的揭示与批判
|
Abstract:
《冰人》是当代英国著名作家玛姬？吉的代表作之一。小说以2050年遭受气候危机的未来英国社会为载体，书写了一部以混血儿索尔为主角的乌托邦故事。小说再现了女性与自然之间独特的关系，呈现了未来世界处于生态危机下的黑暗图景，揭示出在男权话语构造下被扭曲形象的他者所遭遇的身份困境。本文综合运用生态女性主义和康奈尔的霸权性男性气质概念，分析玛姬？吉如何借助索尔这一形象完成对霸权性男性气质的否认和批判，从而揭示小说蕴含的女性意识和生态关怀。
The Ice People is one of the representative works of the famous contemporary British writer Maggie Gee. Envisioning the future British society afflicted by the climate crisis in 2050, this novel tells a dystopian story with the half-race Saul as the protagonist. It recreates the unique relationship between women and nature, presents a dark picture of the future world under ecological crisis, and reveals the identity dilemma of the distorted image of the other under the construction of patriarchal discourse. This paper employs ecofeminism and Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity to analyze how Maggie Gee denies and criticizes the hegemonic masculinity through Saul’s image, so as to reveal the female consciousness and ecological concern embedded in this novel.
