【摘要】 安吉拉·卡特(1940-1992)是当代英国文坛备受瞩目的一位女作家,其在20世纪70年代发表的作品《新夏娃的激情》一度引起广泛争议。卡特曾经公开声称这部作品是“女性主义读本”,但令人遗憾的是,她在这部作品中所体现的女性主义思想却鲜有深入研究,因此笔者决定在前人研究基础上,对此进行探讨研究。本文以女性主义视角结合文本细读的方法,分析了《新夏娃的激情》中所蕴含的女性主义思想：卡特大胆地向男性霸权发出挑战,同时也对于女性霸权予以否定,在她看来,只有建立在爱和平等基础上的两性关系才能创造幸福的世界。在这部作品中,卡特通过主人公的一系列遭遇,揭露了父权社会中女性的生存状况——在以男性中心主义为特征的父权社会中,她们不仅被不断地边缘化,降为毫无意义的欲望的客体,而且还面临着内化父权社会准则自我客体化的危险。小说主人公社会性别的逐步确立过程则揭示出社会性别是一种建构。通过这些揭露,卡特抨击鞭挞了父权制文化对女性的压制和贬低,呼吁女性正确认识自己的处境,摆脱不幸的遭遇。另一方面,作品中卡特虽然流露出对男性霸权的种种不满,但她对于激进女性主义者建立女性霸权和双性同体的构想也并不苟同。在卡特看来,理想的两性关系应该建立在平等和爱的基础之上,任何一方的霸权都是人类幸福生活的羁绊。更多还原

【Abstract】 Angela Carter (1940-1992) is a celebrated female writer in contemporary English literature. Her novel The Passion of New Eve, written in the1970s, has aroused a widespread debate since its publication. Carter claimed the book as "a feminist tract", yet the feminist ideas it conveyed has not been studied comprehensively. Therefore, the author of the thesis tries to make a thorough research of the feminist thoughts in the book on the basis of other scholars’ studies.The thesis, based on exhaustive textual analysis combined with a feminist perspective, gives a detailed analysis of the feminist ideas conveyed in The Passion of New Eve. Carter denies both male hegemony in patriarchy and female hegemony in matriarchy. To her, nothing but the heterosexual relationship established on love and equality can usher in a happy world. In the book, through the protagonist’s experiences, Carter exposes the miserable state of women in patriarchal society—they are not only marginalized and degraded into meaningless objects but face the danger of self-objectification by internalizing the patriarchal norms. The gradual establishment of the protagonist’s gender indicates that gender is a social construct. Through this disposure, Carter attacks the suppression and degradation of women in patriarchal society. She urges women to be fully aware of their situation and rise up to make a change of the status quo. On the other hand, despite her discontent with male patriarchy, however, she does not consent to female hegemony and androgyny proposed by some radical feminists. In Carter’s point of view, the ideal male and female relationship should be established on love and equality, as displayed in the relationship between Eve and Tristessa. Hegemony of any kind impedes the happy life of human beings.更多还原
