摘要
疾病书写在文学传统中不仅承载个体苦难,更折射社会文化与权力结构,这一点在艾丽丝·门罗《亲爱的生活》中表现得尤为明显。选取《亲爱的生活》中3个短篇小说分析门罗的疾病书写,通过分析男女主人公身患的疾病,可以看出门罗解构了传统男性和女性的特质,使男性摆脱了单一、传统的男性权威形象,并完成了对新女性形象的构建。通过疾病叙事,门罗不仅解构了性别二元对立,更揭示了加拿大乡村社会中的身体政治与集体无意识,疾病也成为门罗批判社会规训、挑战殖民现代性健康话语的媒介。门罗以女性视角重构疾病隐喻的范式,既深化了加拿大文学的民族性表达,为全球文学中的性别研究提供了跨文化参照,同时也完成了作家以病为医、诊疗社会的使命。
Illness narrative in literary tradition has long served as a vehicle not only for individual suffering but also for refracting sociocultural structures and power dynamics—a dimension strikingly manifested in Alice Munro's Dear Life.This study examines three stories from the collection to analyze Munro's representation of illness.By investigating the diseases afflicting her male and female protagonists,it demonstrates how Munro deconstructs conventional gender attributes:male characters are released from monolithic,authoritative masculine stereotypes,while new female subjectivities are constructed.Through illness narratives,Munro not only dismantles gender binaries but also illuminates the body politics and collective unconscious embedded in rural Canadian society.Illness thus becomes a medium for Munro to critique social discipline and challenge the colonial modernity inherent in medical discourse.By reframing the paradigm of illness metaphor from a female perspective,Munro deepens the national expression of Canadian literature and offers a cross-cultural reference for global gender studies,thereby fulfilling her role as a literary healer who diagnoses and treats societal maladies.
