在中國長大並揚名國際的兩位女作家－賽珍珠（1892-1973）及韓素音（1917-2012）的系列自傳，以中國為背景，描述她們的生活經歷，可以作為中國近代歷史的印證。由於作品背景和作者性別，學者們多從後殖民地主義或女性主義去批評，認為作品中包涵某種政治訴求，且帶有分裂性。實際上，兩位作家的自傳體小說，強調的不是階級或性別弱勢的課題，乃是倡導中西交融、四海一家的和平理念。本文從文學倫理學批評的角度，探討倫理兩難、倫理抉擇、倫理身份，嘗試在相互重疊的倫理關係語境下，重新審視賽珍珠與韓素音的自傳。同時就她們在與西方對話的寫作設想下強調中國人的鄉土、人民意願和民族靈魂的合法性的論述，進行探索與分析。 |
| 英文摘要 |
World renowned authors Pearl S Buck (1892-1973) and Han Suyin (1917-2012) were both raised in China and had written extensively about the people and events of the land. Their autobiographies thus served as valuable references for modern China history. Many scholars have taken an interest in their literature due to their unique background as well as their gender. The proponents of post-Colonialism and feminism may suggest that Pearl's and Han's autobiographies were making political appeals, which could be divisive in nature. However, a closer textual reading of their texts denotes that their literatures were actually advocating mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence between the East and the Wes t. This paper will examine the legitimacy issue, which is closely tied with the dilemmas, choices and identities of the characters in their autobiographies via the Ethical Literary Criticism (ELC). The implications of their autobiographies pave the way towards exploration of critical questions such as whether there would be a legitimate place for individuals of ＂otherness,＂ whether a people has the right to choose their own destiny, and whether a developing nation could earn the right to self-determine her own modernisation. |
