性别与空间——《野草在歌唱》的女性主义地理学解读

本文从女性主义地理学的角度解读多丽丝.莱辛处女作《野草在歌唱》中性别与空间区隔的关系:由于父权社会里既有的性别分工和性别气质刻板印象,玛丽被局限于女性化的私人空间里;私人空间也再现和强化了玛丽的弱者地位,阻碍了她掌管自我命运的潜能。性别与空间区隔之间互为影响和加强,而非表面"自然"而然的关系。

Gender and Space: the Interpretation of The Grass Is Singing from the Perspective of Feminist Geography

From the perspective of feminist geography,this paper interprets the relationship between gender and spatial distinction in Doris Lessing’s The Grass Is Singing: due to the gender division of labor and gender stereotypes in the patriarchal society,the protagonist Mary is restricted to the feminized private space;the private space also reflects and reinforces Mary’s position as the weak and hinders her potential for self-reliance.The relationship between gender and spatial distinction is that of interaction and inter-intensification rather than the apparent "natural" one.
