西尔维娅·普拉斯诗歌中的身体言说与女性身份建构
|
Abstract:
西尔维娅·普拉斯是美国自白派诗歌的重要代表,其作品集中刻画男性主导话语中女性的身份困境及其身份建构,并因其大胆的身体书写而在英美文坛独树一帜。普拉斯诗歌中的女性人物被迫在男性凝视下规训自身,其自由言说受到压制。普拉斯借助女性人物的身体言说,探讨女性苦难、死亡、重生等话题,在审视女性身份困境的同时,向现实生活及文学创作领域的父权规训发起挑战,借以实现女性身份建构。
Sylvia Plath is one of the representatives of American confessional poetry who is known for her bold narrative about female body among the literary circles in both the US and the UK. Her works focus on the depiction of modern women’s identity dilemma and their construction of self-identity inside the male-dominated discourse. The female characters in Plath’s poems are forced to discipline themselves under the male gaze, and their freedom to speak for themselves is denied. Plath employs the technique of writing the body to discuss such topics as suffering, death, and rebirth faced by women. While examining the identity dilemma of women, she challenges the male-dominated discourse in both real life and the literary world for women’s construction of self-identity.
