　　Feminist Writing in Remapping the Territory of Literature

　　Speech given by Lan Xin， at The Second Workshop on World-the Territory Rewritten by Literature

　　at Beijing Normal University，17,11,2017

　　看到今天的主题，我想起了德国思想家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯在《历史的起源与目标》一书中提到的“轴心时代”。即公元前800年至公元前200年间，在中国、西方和印度等地同时诞生了影响世人的先哲比如，我国出现了孔子、孟子、荀子、老子等思想家，而西方有苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德等哲学家，古印度有释迦摩尼。这些世界不同疆域的智者和觉者，几乎在同一时代存在，影响着各自疆域的文明，却因为那个时代没有能互通的载体而没有交汇。

　　Respected teachers, friends, ladies and gentlemen:

　　Today's topic brings me to the concept of Axial Age, introduced by German philosopher Karl Jaspers in his book The Origin and Goal of History, published in 1949, characterizing the period of ancient history from about the 8th to the 3rd century BC.According to Jaspers, new ways of thinking appeared in India (Sankymuni), China (Confucius, Mencius, Laotze) and the Greco-Roman world (Aristotle, Plato, Socrates) which ran the gamut of all possibilities in religion and philosophy. These representative figures emerge almost in a striking parallel development, without any obvious direct cultural contact between all of the participating Eurasian cultures.

　　后来，随着时代的发展，文明的进步，是“文学”重绘了世界各国的疆域，让优秀的历史文明和文学作品得以交汇与流传。也因此，我从小有幸读到这些经典的世界名著，是它们为我打开了看世界的窗口，丰润了我的成长，滋养我的内心和精神世界。在我成长中的世界，是文学绘制的疆域。

　　Jaspers deems the pre-Jesus 500 hundred years as of pivotal importance and the first crop of Eurasian sages harvested, at the fountainhead of human culture, Incidentally they were mapping for the first time the territory of literature. We are indeed lucky descendants of these sages and thinkers as we are meant to be civilized and mentally enriched fed upon their writings and teachings.

　　在众多名著中，对我影响最大的是英国作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简爱》。女主人公简爱敢于反抗压迫和社会偏见，努力争取独立、自由、平等和真爱，为追求幸福生活而顽强斗争，宣告了女性自我意识的觉醒。这部作品在全世界的传播，也唤起了各国读者 “女性意识”的觉醒，我也深受其影响。

　　Among the host of world classics that has been my spiritual guide in life and in writing, ,Jane Eyre, a novel by English writer Charlotte Bront? has been pre-eminent. The book follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine,from her adolescence to womanhood and her love for Mr. Rochester. What engages my lifelong attention is the awakening of the heroine's sense of femininity in the evolution of her moral and spiritual sensibility in the teeth of prevalent social prejudices of a male dominated society.

　　包括《傲慢与偏见》《乱世佳人》《荆棘鸟》这些名著中的女性意识也在不同时代影响着全世界的读者。而在中国，自五四运动以来，由于中国自身社会历史条件的变化，也因为美国和欧洲妇女解放运动的影响，现代意义上的中国女性文学从男性本位文化中崛起。

　　Justifiably a novel ahead of its time ,given the strong willed character of Jane and the novel's exploration of proto-feminism, Emily Bronte breaks the ice in the feminist genre for the wide reception of Pride and Prejudice, Gone with the winds, The Thorn Bird, among others that follow in the coming century. I should emphasize individualistic heroines such as Jane Eyre and Scarlett, "Meggie" Cleary have been powerful icons in triggering social changes in male chauvinistic cultures such as China and other similar gender repressive societies .May 4th Movement in 1919 has been proven a watershed for culture and literature alike, old and new, and the truly feminine literature in China in particular.
