【摘要】 艾德里安娜·塞西尔·里奇(1929-2012)是美国二十世纪著名的诗人、散文家、批评家、女性主义者和社会活动家。其一生的诗歌创作与政治活动让她成为美国当代最具影响力的诗人之一。通过25部诗集和7本评论散文集,里奇赢得了许多包括“美国国家图书奖”在内的重要诗歌奖项。里奇视野开阔,思想深刻,其创作涉及了语言、权力、性别、民族、种族、阶级和社会正义等多种社会问题。《人眼:社会中的艺术》(2009)作为其最后一本评论集,也评论了很多社会问题,并且试图利用诗歌来唤醒麻木冷漠的现代人。本文从女性主义关怀伦理学的角度,试图分析里奇诗歌、文学批评和政治活动背后的关怀伦理观。在文本细读的基础上,本文旨在阐述里奇对父权制伦理中某些自由主义理念的反对,揭示里奇的关怀伦理观。一方面,里奇挑战一些自由主义的原则,对父权制下的公正伦理提出质疑,从而反对帝国主义、种族主义以及性别歧视;另一方面,里奇强调人与人之间的联系,关注他人的需要,重视责任感在人类发展中的必要作用。另外,里奇也试图展现关怀与政治之间的关系——关怀可以作为一种政治策略,让人们关注更多的政治问题,鼓励更多的边缘化群体参与政治。最后,本文通过对历史社会背景以及里奇个人经历的研究分析里奇关怀伦理观的来源。对《人眼》这部作品中的里奇关怀伦理观进行研究,可以为研究里奇诗歌和散文中的思想提供了一个较新的视角,从而也为国内外对里奇作品感兴趣的学者提供了一个学术参考。

【Abstract】 Adrienne Cecile Rich (1929-2012) is a prominent and remarkable American poet, essayist, critic, feminist and socialist in the 20th century. Her lifelong poetry creation and political activities make her one of the most influential and powerful poets of the United States in the modern era. With 25 anthologies of poetry and 7 volumes of prose writings, Rich was awarded and honored by many important American prizes for poetry, including "the National Medal for the Arts". With a broad vision and profound thinking, Rich incorporates various social issues into her writing, involving language, power, gender, ethnic groups, race, social class and social justice. A Human Eye:Essays on Art in Society 1997-2008, as her last volume of prose writing, also touches upon many public issues to awaken the indifferent and irresponsible modern people with the help of poetry.The thesis is intended to analyze Rich’s care ethics within her poetry, her literary criticism and political activities from the perspective of feminist care ethics. Based on close textual analysis, the thesis makes an attempt to elaborate Rich’s opposition to some liberal values in patriarchal ethics and to reveal her care ethics in this book. On the one hand, Rich challenges some liberal values and questions the justice ethics to combat imperialism, racism and sexual discrimination; on the other hand, Rich puts emphasis on the interpersonal relationships and interdependence between people, cares about the needs of others and attaches great importance to responsibility as a necessary element in human development. Besides, Rich also tries to unfold the relationship between care and politics:care can be a political strategy, allowing people to view more about political problems and encouraging more people in marginal position to participate in politics. Finally, with a study of the historical and social backgrounds and Rich’s personal life, the thesis analyzes the sources of Rich’s care ethics.This study on Rich’s care ethics in A Human Eye helps to provide a new perspective to interpret Rich’s thoughts in her poetry and prose writing so as to offer a reference for Chinese and foreign scholars who are interested in Rich’s works.
