Abstract/Summary:
Feminism,as a cultural theory produced by the social movement of Western women fighting for political rights,deeply affects the expression and development of Western feminist science fiction.As a representative writer of Chinese female science fiction,Zhao Haihong has not been systematically trained in Western feminist theory,but her works also embody rich experience of female consciousness and connotation of feminist theory.This paper will analyze the feminist consciousness in Zhao Haihong ’s works from three aspects : gender view,science and technology view and nature view.First of all,in the expression of gender concept,Zhao Haihong shows his views on the gender characteristics of men and women from the writing of different gender characters.From the heroic shaping of male characters to the understanding of life,to the description of the characteristics of female scientists and the gender regulations of intelligent and mechanical life,they all show the development process of the author ’s female consciousness and the detailed observation of the reality of gender oppression in life.Secondly,in the expression of the concept of science and technology,in Zhao Haihong ’s science fiction works,on the one hand,science and technology can serve as a bridge to communicate between man and nature,closely link man and nature,and build a new relationship between man and nature in harmony.On the other hand,it is also deeply influenced by subjectivity,especially by emotional factors.In Zhao Haihong ’s works,emotion has also become an important link between man and science.Emotion can not only be used as a research method to participate in science,but also as an ethical norm for scientific research.It plays an important role in the process of using science and technology.It embodies the author ’s positive attitude towards the important role of subjective factors in scientific knowledge.Thirdly,in the expression of the view of nature,Zhao Haihong emphasized the connection between women and nature,and exposed the opposition between the organic view of nature and the inorganic view of nature.In the coexistence of man and nature,he called on human beings to respect nature and other species,and establish a new society in which man and nature resonate harmoniously and get along equally.Finally,the text summarizes the overall characteristics of Zhao Haihong ’s science fiction works.It is believed that Zhao Haihong has integrated female experience and female life perception into her female science fiction works,and has made diversified and rich attempts in creative themes and styles.The different works created in different life stages also reflect the development of her own female consciousness,showing the distinct transformation of the connotation of her works from ’ human to ’ to ’ female to ’.All in all,Zhao Haihong ’s science fiction works reflect the author ’s own female consciousness awakening and development process,reflecting her creative orientation influenced by feminist theory.To a certain extent,through her distinctive moderate writing strategy,it affects the localization development of domestic feminism and the concrete practice of feminism.
