【摘要】 弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫是具有划时代意义的英国著名女作家和女性主义思想家,她站在张杨女性美学、突出女性意识的女性主义叙事立场,创作了《达洛卫夫人》、《到灯塔去》、《海浪》、《奥兰多》等优秀的作品。作为一位重要的女性主义作家,伍尔夫对文学创作的重要贡献之一在于她倡导并实践了“双性同体”思想。本文在考察“双性同体”概念和伍尔夫女性主义立场的基础上,从人物分析、意象象征、时间模式等角度来解读伍尔夫在其叙事文本中表现的“双性同体”观。全文由引言、结语及中间两个部分组成。引言简要介绍了伍尔夫文学成就、“双性同体”思想、女性主义立场及论文主题。论文第一部分:“双性同体”与伍尔夫的女性主义立场。首先,对“双性同体”概念进行溯源及阐释。“双性同体”经历了从神话原型到女性主义诗学概念的发展历程,由此,论文切入神话学、词源、心理学、女性主义诗学等角度对“双性同体”观做一线性梳理。在此基础上,论文进而审视伍尔夫的女性主义立场:双性共存,追求和谐。伍尔夫的“双性同体”观充满了对人类两性和谐共存的美好期盼。在当时男权中心文化的历史文化语境里,这无疑具有强烈的女性主义意识。但是,对于伍尔夫“双性同体”观的女性主义立场,批评界却是众说纷纭,既有肯定也有否定。笔者分析之后肯定了伍尔夫的“双性同体”是种女性主义的价值观念;论文第二部分:“双性同体”在伍尔夫叙事文本中的演绎。伍尔夫的小说叙事女性主义元素意味无穷。在伍尔夫看来,“双性同体”写作不仅仅是一种理想,而是可以成为现实。伍尔夫通过小说创作把“双性同体”作了生动演绎。“双性同体”是贯穿伍尔夫小说的核心意象,这突出体现在小说的人物塑造、象征意象、时间模式几方面。针对“双性同体”的人物形象,论文从双性流动的奥兰多、具有两性特质的人物、对双性差异进行整合的人物、融合多元差异的“其他性别”四种类别具体分析。这些融合了两性特征的人物形象,表达了伍尔夫对“双性同体”精神境界的向往;针对“双性同体”的象征意象,论文具体分析了“灯塔”、“莉丽心中的油画模式”“绽放的康乃馨”等意象。伍尔夫借助了这些意象象征“双性同体”理想境界,以此来表达双性和谐共存的追求;针对“双性同体”的时间模式,论文以《达洛卫夫人》、《到灯塔去》、《海浪》三部作品中物理时间和心理时间的运用和安排为例。非线性的心理时间带有感性的女性色彩,线性的物理时间带有理性的男性色彩。在安排小说叙事时间上,伍尔夫积极探索将二者融为一体的途径,体现了“双性同体”的时间观。最后,结语再次强调伍尔夫“双性同体”的女性主义立场及意义。伍尔夫“双性同体”思想永不褪色。

【Abstract】 Virginia Woolf is a British landmark woman writer and feminist thinker.Based on feminist narrative standpoint to advocate feminist aesthetic and highlight feminist awareness,she created many excellent novels Mrs.Dalloway,To the Lighthouse,The Waves,Orlando,ect.As an important feminist writer,Woolf advocated and practiced the ideology of androgynywhich is one of her great achievements to literary theory and creation.After reviewing the concept of androgyny and Woolf’s feminist standpoint,the dissertation interprets the ideology of androgyny reflecting on her narrative texts from the following aspects,such as the analysis to figurers, symbolic images and time mold.The paper consists of prologue,two main parts and summary.The prologue briefly introduces Woolf’s achievement in literature,the ideology of androgyny,feminist standpoint and the paper’s theme.The first part makes analysis on the latter:first,the dissertation combs the evolution of the concept of androgyny which was originated from primitive ideas of mythos to the mature conception of feminist aesthetics,with the help of the tools of mythology,etymology,psychology, feminist poetics,and so on.Then Woolf’s feminist standpoint is being scrutinized and showed through juxtaposition with her best wish that the genders would exist in peace and harmony,which was obviously with strong betrayal spirits in the man-centered historical context.But in the circle of feminism,there was full of feminist awareness.However,the critics have different opinions about Woolf’s feminist standpoint of the ideology of androgyny,approving or opposing it.The author positively appraises that androgyny belongs to feminist ideology.The second part devolves from the analysis of ideology into its practice in narrative texts.Narrative factors of feminist literature are meaningful.Androgyny is not only an ideal,but can be realized in the narrative texts, which has been proved in Woolf’s novels.Androgyny is the pivot of her books,and throughout the narrative creations such as figure-portraying,symbolic -constructing and time-modeling.As to the Androgyny’s figures,the dissertation analyzes the four kinds of characters:bisexual-flowing character;the character of having gender characteristics;the character of merging the differences between male and female;the other sexes of integrating these differences.These figures melting the qualities of genders stand for Woolf’s best wish to spiritual world of androgyny.As to a series of symbolic images,the dissertation focuses on the images of the lighthouse,painting mold in the heart of Lily,wild-blooming carnation,etc,which were put out to convey her pursuits to the harmony and peace of two genders.For Androgyny’s time model,taking the description and arrangement of the physical and the mental time in Mrs.Dalloway,To the Lighthouse,The Waves as examples,the dissertation shows the physical time with the rigid logic,which represents the masculine reason,while the mental time full of fragments,which delivering the feminine sensitivity.On the arrangement of the novel’s narrative time,Woolf actively explored the approach to make the physical time and the mental time together.At last,the dissertation summarizes the theme,and emphasize on the eternal value of Woolf’s ideology of androgyny and her related feminist standpoint.Woolfs ideology of "Androgyny" will never fade.
