【摘要】 女性、女性作家与侦探小说之间存在着复杂的隐喻关系。一方面,女性侦探小说家利用侦探小说同情感小说之间"女性化"的共同特征,以策略性的书写方式逐步瓦解了它所缔造的理性神话,在历史话语内部对男性中心论积极予以反击,重塑女性话语的合法性。另一方面,她们创作时所采用的帝国视角又从外部追认了帝国身份所象征的男性神圣权力,令作品的批判锋芒有所弱化,也使得英国黄金时代女性侦探小说呈现出充满张力的悖论性特征。这一悖论特征真实地反映了两次世界大战期间英国女性所面临的生活与精神危机,同时也有助于我们重新认识侦探小说在风格化地阐释现代社会方面做出的特殊贡献。更多还原

【Abstract】 There is a complicated metaphorical relationship between women, women writers and detective fiction. On one hand, both detective fiction and sensation novels were thought to be a "feminine" form, which has been used by women detective fiction writers for the purpose of disorganizing the rational myth created by men. Women writers criticized the phallogocentrism inside the historical discourse, so that they could rebuild the validity of female identities. While on the other hand, the imperial perspective they used in creation, in return, accepted the sacred power of men from the outside, which not only weakened the critical power of their works, but also provided those texts with a paradoxical feature. This gives a true reflection of the living and spiritual crisis faced by British women during the two world wars, and helps us to reconsider the special contribution of detective fiction to interpreting the modern society in a stylized way.更多还原
