【摘要】 珍妮特·温特森(Jeanette Winterson,1959—)是英国当代文坛一位极具天赋与才华的作家。她关注社会问题,并以敏锐的洞察力对其加以剖析,使作品不断突破传统叙述边界,含义深邃,涉及家庭、性别、科技、宗教、环境等诸多方面。从文学伦理学视角对温特森小说进行文本细读,不难发现,她的小说涉及一系列矛盾冲突,小说人物常常陷入伦理抉择的困境之中。温特森小说中的矛盾冲突类型体现在家庭关系、性别关系和社会关系三个方面。家庭关系中的伦理冲突主要表现为个体与失序家庭的矛盾,这种矛盾常常引发主体的自我身份迷失;性别关系中的伦理冲突主要表现为性别歧视、性取向困惑以及双性气质造成的矛盾,在这种矛盾冲突中,个体内心的困惑与不安被集中体现出来;社会关系的伦理冲突则体现为战争、宗教、现代文明与个体生存、世俗生活、自然人性之间的矛盾,个体在无休止的社会冲突中常常表现出一种丧失主动性的状态。温特森对不同类型矛盾冲突的书写,是其自身经历和社会历史现实相互交织下的产物,表现了作者本人的伦理困惑与精神迷惘;是现代人深陷生存困境,个体自我实现遭遇阻碍的文学化表达。温特森试图表明:个体在面对复杂的伦理生活并与之产生矛盾冲突时,应时刻保持清醒,坚守自我,敢于挑战不合理存在,相信爱的力量,唯有如此,才能最终走出伦理与生存困境。

【Abstract】 Jeanette Winterson(1959 —)is a talented writer in contemporary British literature.She pays attention to social issues and analyzes them with keen insight.Her works constantly break through the traditional narrative boundaries with profound meanings,involving family,gender,technology,religion,environment and many other aspects.From the perspective of literary ethics,it is not difficult to find that Winterson’s novels involve a series of conflicts,and her characters often fall into the dilemma of ethical choices.The types of conflicts in Winterson’s novels are reflected in three aspects: family relationship,gender relationship and social relationship.The ethical conflict in family relations is the contradiction between individual and disordered family,and the loss of the subject self-identity caused by this contradiction;The ethical conflicts in gender relations are mainly manifested as gender discrimination,confusion of sexual orientation and conflict of bisexual temperament,in order to show the inner perplexity and anxiety of individuals;The ethical contradictions of social relations are written around the conflicts between war,religion,modern civilization and individual survival,secular life,and natural humanity,showing the state that individuals lose initiative in endless social conflicts.Winterson’s writing of different types of conflicts is the product of her own experience and social and historical reality,which shows the author’s ethical confusion and spiritual confusion;It is a literary expression of the predicament of modern people’s survival and the obstacle of individual self-realization.Winterson tries to show that individuals should always be sober,stick to themselves,dare to challenge unreasonable existence and believe in the power of love when facing complex ethical life and conflicts with it.Only in this way can they finally get out of ethical and survival dilemma.
