摘要
在半自传体小说《橘子不是唯一的水果》中,珍妮特·温特森刻画了一位自私、冷漠的母亲形象,与传统印象中慈爱的母亲形象大相径庭。然而,温特森刻画这样一位非传统母亲形象并非仅仅出于控诉的目的,其在小说文本中揭示的细节展现了珍妮特母亲的多种创伤症候,如回避、麻木和强迫症,揭示了珍妮特母亲强硬形象背后隐性的创伤。珍妮特母亲的创伤一方面源于自身同性恋倾向的情感受抑,另一方面则源于二战对英国普通人民精神面貌和社会面貌的双重改写。温特森通过这样一位饱受创伤的母亲形象展现了20世纪英国同性恋者的艰难处境,表达了对战争的深刻反思,更表达了其反主流文化的后现代主义思想。
In the semi-autobiographical novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit,Jeanette Winterson depicts a selfish and cold mother that is widely different from the loving mother in traditional sense. However,the reason why Winterson depicts such an unconventional mother is not just for accusing,but for unfolding the trauma under the selfishness and coldness by revealing the mother 's traumatic symptoms,such as avoidance,numbness and obsession. It is further revealed that the mother's trauma stems from her restraint of homosexual orientation on one hand,and the World War II's transformation of the spiritual outlook and the social circumstances in Britain on the other hand. By introducing a mother image with deep trauma,Winterson reveals the tough situation of the homosexuals in 20 th century,and expresses her reflection on wars and her counter culture thought.
