女性视域中的中国现代妓女叙事——以丁玲《庆云里中的一间小房里》和张爱玲《沉香屑第一炉香》为例

丁玲、张爱玲深切体察女性在男权社会中所处的物质与精神双重困境,贴近女性现实的生命状态书写妓女形象和卖淫问题,塑造出复杂暧昧、主流话语难以定义、规范的妓女形象。她们的创作既逸出了国家、民族、社会等宏大叙事话语之外,也颠覆、解构了男性作家所创造的妓女叙事模式和叙述话语,打破了高等妓女是个人品行堕落腐朽、底层妓女是无辜的牺牲品的两极分化式认知模式,转换叙述主体,改写男性的有关妓女生活愉悦/危险的话语内涵。

Narration about Prostitutes of Modern China in a Female Perspective

Ding Ling and Zhang Ailing deeply observed the material and spiritual plight of women in the patriarchal society and thereby visualized prostitutes and investigated prostitution in accordance with the practical living situation of women.They created some complicated and vague prostitute characters that could hardly be defined and standardized with mainstream words.Their writings were extended to narrate big issues about a nation,a nationality and a society.In addition,they changed the narration mode and words used by male writers to create prostitute characters.They also broke the traditional recognition mode that high-level prostitutes were all corrupted and depraved and low-level prostitutes were innocent victims. Besides,they changed to describe intension of men's words of pleasure and risk about prostitution in their novels.
