Female Narration And Homeland Imagination: Research On Su Weizhen's Novels

Su Weizhen is a representative of Taiwan neo-feminism literature. Her creations are very typical of feminine literature during this period regarding the number, quality and course of her creations. Previously, many scholars have made pertinent critical studies on Su Weizhen's works. However, on the whole, the fact that she is ignored and even slighted to some extent is not completely reversed. Therefore, taking Su Weizhen's novels as the object of observation, the thesis attempts to present her creation style in a comprehensive way. Amidst the writing background of Su Weizhen, and citing Bourdieu's field theory, the thesis studies her life history and interaction between Taiwan's Literature Prize in the 80s and Su Weizhen's novel creation. On this basis, the author describes the gradual maturity of feminine subject awareness in Su Weizhen's novels and depicts the thinking of Su Weizhen on homeland questions and mainlanders' ethnic identities, by taking female and homeland as the starting point, adopting feminism and national community theory as a view window and observing her articles created in different periods. Meanwhile, the thesis generalizes aesthetic features of Su Weizhen's novels, elaborating on its type of writing, genre, narrative strategies and writing pattern respectively and systematically interpreting aesthetic glamour of Su Weizhen's novels.
