《明智的孩子》中的女性叙述声音

The Female Narrative Voice in Wise Children

摘要: 苏珊·兰瑟结合叙事学理论与女性主义思想，将文本声音与话语权威结合起来，讨论文本中女性的叙述声音与文本权威。结合兰瑟叙述声音的相关理论分析安吉拉·卡特的《明智的孩子》可以发现，小说结合多种叙述声音展开叙述，逐渐对男性叙事权威发起挑战；以朵拉和诺拉为代表的女性角色表面上渴求“父亲”和父权社会的认可，但通过坚持女性叙述，小说实际上一步步否定了男权社会搭建起的“父亲”形象，并且进一步否定了传统意义上以血缘关系为基础的家庭结构，女性拥有了更多的主导权，展现了女性力量，促进了女性自我身份与姐妹情谊的塑造。

Abstract: Susan S. Lanser integrates narratological theory with feminist thought, linking textual voice with discursive authority to examine women’s narrative voices and textual authority in literature. Applying Lanser’s theories of narrative voice to Angela Carter’s Wise Children, this study reveals how the novel employs multiple narrative voices to progressively challenge male narrative authority. While female characters like Dora and Nora superficially seek validation from the “father” and patriarchal society, their persistent female narration ultimately subverts the patriarchal construct of the “father” figure. Furthermore, the novel dismantles the traditional bloodline-based family structure, granting women greater agency, showcasing female empowerment, and fostering the formation of self-identity and sisterhood among women.
