雌雄同体-《奥兰多》中时代精神的体现_英语论文

Androgyny: Reflection of the Spirit of the Age in Orlando 

摘要

在伍尔夫的文学作品中，存在着大量对人的内心世界和无意识领域的描述，与弗洛伊德的精神分析学说有很多契合之处，本文以其随性而就的《奥兰多》为个案，以自我身份认同问题的探讨为切入点，一方面挖掘出该文本最深层的结构脉络;另一方面对小说中体现的弗洛伊德学说因素进行解读;再者结合伍尔夫本人的人生经历，以证实《奥兰多》使作者压抑的欲望得以宣泄，展现了她矛盾的多重人格。本文将结合弗洛伊德的精神分析学，探讨伍尔夫的《奥兰多》的时代精神及其时代意义，更深入地了解伍尔夫的作品以及伍尔夫作为现代女性主义文学批评的鼻祖对历史的贡献。

Abstract

Virginia Woolf’s literary works are abundant in the description of human being’s inner world and unconsciousness, which are coincident with Freudian psychoanalysis. This essay, by taking Woolf’s Orlando as an example, begins with the textual analysis of the formal structure of the novel. Then it goes further to analyze the novel in terms of Freudian concepts. Finally, Woolf’s personal experience is examined in order to prove that the author’s sexual ambivalence is unconsciously reflected in the novel. Orlando is treated to a full paragraph of selfhood and the fullest expression of her alternating personality. This paper expects not only to shed new light on the novel itself but also probe into the relationship between Virginia Woolf’s literary creation and Freudian psychoanalysis. Meanwhile, I will employ Freud’s psychoanalysis to explore Woolf’s Orlando’s spirit of the times and the era. It will give us a deeper understanding of Woolf’s works and contemporary feminist literary criticism as the founder for historical significance.
