中西文化的冲突与融合是美国著名作家赛珍珠文学作品的主要特征。赛珍珠是提倡女性解放的先驱之一,也是美国历史上颇有争议的女性主义作家。本文旨在从文化视角探讨赛珍珠《大地》中塑造的女主人公阿兰的形象,从而体现她对中国传统女性的关注和对当时男性主义至上的社会观念的有力抨击。小说不但推动了当时及后来的女权主义运动的发展,也试图为当今的跨国、跨文化的传播与交流提供借鉴意义。 Conflict and integration of Chinese and Western cultures are the main characteristics of the famous American writer Pearl S. Buck’s literary works. Pearl S. Buck is one of the pioneers in advocating the liberation of women and is also a controversial feminist writer in the history of the United States. The purpose of this article is to explore the image of Alain, the heroine of the creation in Pearl S. Buck, from a cultural perspective, thus reflecting her concern for the traditional Chinese women and her attack on the masculine social outlook of the time. The novel not only promoted the development of the feminist movement at that time and later, but also tried to offer reference for today’s transnational and intercultural communication and exchange.
