摘要
美国作为一个经济高度发达的国度,在文化涵义上常常被建构成一个自由、包容、理性的乌托邦。早期的香港文学中所建构的美国形象,女性通常享有和男性平等的受教育权利、经济地位和话语权。然而,异国形象的产生终究无法完全割断形象与产生形象的外部现实世界的渊源关系。随着对美国认识的逐渐深入和女性意识的普遍崛起,美国形象在香港女性主义作品中,呈现出自由与自由的中空、文明的包容与野蛮的占有、理性的秩序与无情的冷漠的二极对应性。
As a highly developed country, the United States has always been depicted as a Utopia of freedom, tolerance, and rationality. In the early writings in Hong Kong, United States was represented as a country where women enjoy equal rights of education, economy and expression with men. Nevertheless, imagination cannot be too far away from the reality. With further understanding of this country and the awakening to feminist awareness, the United States is represented as a nation where there is a dichotomy of freedom and the vacancy of freedom, the tolerance of civilization, and the savage possession, rational order, and cruel coldness.
