【摘要】 这篇论文将从生态女性主义角度解读薇拉·凯瑟的小说《啊,拓荒者!》。生态女性主义者认为男性中心主义对女性的支配和人类中心主义对自然的征服是相互关联的,而且人类中心主义是男性中心主义这一更为深刻问题的表面症状。对于生态女性主义者来说,所有压迫的根源是西方二元论,而西方父权社会中基本的二元对立是处于支配地位的男性与处于从属地位的女性之间的对立。因此,女性与自然之间相互联系的压迫都来自于男权文化对女性特质的贬损。为了拯救地球,生态女性主义者竭力肯定并普及女性价值观,即关爱、哺育、多样性、互惠,和相互关联性等。这篇论文将帮助读者从一个全新的角度来理解凯瑟的小说《啊,拓荒者!》,旨在强调,在现今全球环境恶化的形势下,生态女性主义的信条:地球上所有生命都是一个相互联系的网,不是等级制度。更多还原

【Abstract】 This thesis will evaluate Willa Cather’s novel O Pioneers! in the light of ecofeminism. Ecofeminists believe that there is a connection between the androcentric subjugation of women and the anthropocentric domination of nature. Moreover, they view anthropocentrism as a symptom of a much deeper problem: androcentrism. For ecofeminists, the root of all oppression is western dualism, and the basic dualistic opposition in western patriarchal society is that between masculine and feminine, with the dominant gendered as masculine and the subordinate feminized. Hence, the interconnected oppression of woman and nature arises from the devaluation of femininity in an androcentric culture. To save the earth, ecofeminists strive to affirm and universalize feminine values: caring, nurturance, diversity, reciprocity, and interconnectedness, etc. The paper will help the reader to understand Cather’s O Pioneers! from a new angle, and thus in the context of present global environmental degradation to highlight the ecofeminist’s tenet: all life on earth is an interconnected web, not a hierarchy.更多还原
