Female Writers' Consciousness And Poetics Of Gender's Construction In 20^th Century

"Life"is one of the most important and source subjects in literature, it has endless explanations, but none of them could explain it exactly. In modern Chinese literature, female writers have special points of view on"life consciousness", collecting and studying them is necessary and valuable. Since Chinese culture is kind to life and disgust to death, the thesis tries to find a new inspiration for modern novel research.Modern female writers'"life consciousness"has its sexual\timing characteristics,"poetics of gender"is the poetic of theory of gender, the development from female to gender shows the signified transcendental sex, not only means aesthetics, but also culture."Life consciousness and the building of poetics of gender"is one of the methods to understand the world and literature. The view of sexual study has long history, still, the subject of life has wide field, and however, to put these two together is an absolutely fresh domain. All in all, to collect and study these theoretical points, find a structure for them, has been a pivotal and important subject. It would help us to understand the relationship between Chinese female study and the western feminism; to study the current Chinese female literature; to excavate our traditional female history and moreover, to look forward to its future trend.The purposes"The poetics of gender"is one of the basic theories of aesthetics; the present study couldn't overcome the prejudice about theory or the motionless of research. The current art theoretical study has been confined to realization, to the relationship between thoughts and exists, to objects while ignored literature's real target:life activities, life experiences, life meanings. Certainly we couldn't suppose that the view of gender is able to resolve all the regrets referred, but the female poetics style at least sets scientific possibilities and beautiful testament in individuality and relativity, freedom and limitation, tradition and modernity. The building of theory needs basic points and structure, needs conflicts and disputes as well. If the female study in 1980's is the remedy of defects, the next step will be correction of deviation. The purposes of poetics study are to free female literature from sociology, civilization, anthropology, in a word, to be independent. In a way, coordinating life consciousness, the poetics of gender must be deepen Chinese modern aesthetics theory, and widen art theory study.The significance of female writing exists they provide the real live existence of Chinese women; exhibit the hard choices they have to confront. Such as how to re-settle their confirmed destiny during the process of acquiring social role, how to break or interrupt the original sexual relationship and social order, how to find a new harmonious scene between men and women.For a century, we have kept discussing female's rebel, priori supposition restricts our thoughts. To blame or despise male has been fixed conclusion. Actually, what we need is not destruction but construction, to build an oriental female poetic structure, which is filled with purely humanitarianism. Since there is not war but connection between the two sexes, one could not survive without the other, just as day and night, sun and moon, the harmonious relationship between them is the most important part.The methodsThe thesis does not abstract a sort of pattern from innumerable theories, it gets rid of the opposition of certain\general, phenomenon\essence, and sets the foundation on realistic and historic study, establishes the interactivity between individual and collective experience. Female writings cultural logic and requirements are bound to leading them to a harmonious scene.1.to stick to the principal of originality, individuality and nationality, the study of the thesis is according to times and contemporaries. Academic points but not annual orders are the frames. From macro approach to micro research, inductive and deductive, analytical and synthetically, historical and logical methods and so on, are all put into use in the thesis.2.to cope introspection thoughts with are criticism together. The study pays attention to the writers'thoughts text, undoubtedly; moreover, it attaches importance on their imagination. The latter is the writers'day dreams, which explain their consciousness deeper than the declaration. As to female writers, to put these two factors together can observe the authentic records from their very real soul.3.to use social-history method to set the tradition of female commentary. Liu Siqian once referred:"Let's trace back to the text of literature itself and the writers themselves", which means we should return to the original text, and the writers'genuine thoughts and feelings. So as to refuse the male traditional established translation of female writings. The thesis would like to find a win-win way, from the writers'clear-cut stand to their text, then to complete the female writers'poetic theory.4.to analysis text, psychology, history and culture, all kinds of research methods mix together in the thesis. It is treated not only text of creating or criticizing but also composition of all sorts of factors. Meanwhile, the thesis would set the ability of anglicizing both material and personal creativeness, so as to realize life's position in all kinds of literature and spirit activities.The conclusionsTo observe and describe life is the eternal and noble subject in literature. Based on female life consciousness, poetics of gender might trace back to itself function:exerting a favorable influence on one's mind and soul, urging literature and art theory's sound development.The foreword part sets emphasis on the concept of"life", and establishes the outlook of the thesis, to admit that death is the negation of life, based on this, writing"death"has its value in culture and aesthetics.The first chapter draws the outline of the"life consciousness"and"poetics of gender"text for the past century,"Wu Si"period and the"new period"show solicitude for"life"from material to spirit, spontaneous to conscious, but liberal pursue run through it; From 30s to 40s, female writers eulogized revolutionary will highly or deeply thought living significance; After 80s, ideological trend has been widen, so there are many opinions on"life", individual position showed on.The second chapter discusses the relationship between text and writer's thoughts. First part concludes five ways of written"death", female writer's skill presented indistinct and emotional; Second part tells female's use of the first person and special time or space; Third part refers to the discourse, female or non-female vocabulary expressed the feeling of words.The third chapter is the distinguishing feature of the thesis, from the function point of view to survey writer's attitude. First, female pay great attention to convey the truth, kindness, and beauty; second, from morality, reason, mind three aspects expounds the function of"life". Then, get the conclusion:writing death is not the only aim, it also for better living.The last chapter interprets how culture affects writers. The trend of thought decides writer's belief; Religious points about death or life influence text directly or indirectly; Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy have different views on life, they sediment in writer's heart; The custom of China despise female, so they resist in one hand, perplex in the other hand.The ending tells that Chinese female writers don't know where to go yet, to build bright future; they have to make series of hard efforts. Their ideal theory stand is to settle harmonious scene of man and woman, holding hands tightly and walking to a sort of better life.
