《性别·种族·阶级·空间:四部当代美国黑人妇女小说解读》内容简介：空间既非预先存在，也非中性概念。它是一种特殊的社会产物，既是上层建筑中各种社会关系的综合体现，又是各种社会关系的发展前提。作为社会产物，它既决定社会地位又成为社会地位重构的突破口。性别二元对立的社会思维导致社会空间的等级分配，即社会空间一分为二，公共的、生产的、支配性的空间属于男性，而私人的、生育的、从属性的空间则属于女性。女权地理学研究（起源于20世纪70年代末，流行于90年代）就正是要“考察、揭示和质疑性别对立和空间分配之间的关系，指出二者实际上互为构成，并非天然形成”。 本论文以女权地理学的研究成果为理论基础，按章节分别解读以下四部当代美国黑人妇女小说：格温德琳·布鲁克斯的《莫德·玛莎》，波勒·马歇尔的《褐姑娘，褐色砖房》，格罗莉娅·内勒的《布鲁斯特街的女人们》以及《林敦山》。论文的主要观点是：黑人妇女的城市空间是由她们自身的各种社会关系决定的，其中包括性别、种族和阶级等因素。与此同时，她们的身份在很大程度上又由她们各自拥有的空间决定。若想改变身份或者调整社会关系，这些黑人妇女就必须运用各种生存、对抗策略设法重构自己已有的城市空间。 《性别·种族·阶级·空间:四部当代美国黑人妇女小说解读》：北京外国语大学2006年博士文库系列 Table of Contents Abbreviation ii Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Gender and Space: An Overview 1.2 Race, Gender, Class and the City 1.3 Structure of My Dissertation Chapter2 An Expansive Inner Space: Gwendolyn Brooks's Maud Martha Chapter3 A Wanderer Among Spatial Circles: Paule Marshall's Brown Girl, Brownstones Chapter4 A Communal Space of Hopes and Frustrations: Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place Chapter 5 Women with an Inner Void: Gloria Naylor's Linden Hills Chapter 6 Conclusion Works Cited 1.1 Gender and Space: An Overview It has long been noticed that a spatial division in the societybetween the public and the private spheres plays a central role inthe social construction of gender divisions. As the king declares inTennyson's The Princess, men's world is the "field", while women'sis the "hearth". Coventry Patmore's best-seller poem "The Angel inthe House", dedicated to his wife, had also popularized a patronizingsentimentality toward women for men's self-interest. If woman was theangel, then her husband was the lord. This term was also incorporatedinto the "cult of true womanhood" advocated by the popular domesticfiction prevalent in the mid-nineteenth century. Nonetheless, critiqueof or rebellion against this gender division in the society also emergedsoon after. Long before Betty Friedan's important discussion of "theproblem that has no name" in The Feminine Mystique （1963）, therehad already been many female protagonists in late-nineteenth-centuryfiction who found themselves unfulfilled in the domestic sphere. Somedescribed the home as a prison and wanted to escape from this "doll'shouse", some were even driven to madness by the forced inhibition,and others had to find outlets outside home in secrecy in the form ofliterary creation or sexual adventure. However, a systematic study of the spatial division in the societydid not begin until the 1970s, when there appeared a new science ofspace. One of the most influential works in this field is The Productionof Space （1974） by the Marxist philosopher Henri Lefebvre. Beforehis work, the definition of space by earlier philosophers had alwaysemphasized the "philosophico-epistemological notion of space"
