本文研究了弗吉尼亞.伍爾夫關於非個人化小說創作的現代主義美學思想,以及該思想在其小說中的體現。筆者認為伍爾夫的辯證式非個人化美學思想同時包含非個人化和作家個性特質,這集中體現在其鮮明的性別意識中。在伍爾夫看來,只有當作家在創作過程中保持著非個人化和超然的狀態,才可能創造出具有代表性和普遍意義的人物,且將作家自身的個性和性別特質完全地融入到文中。 / 本文第一章重點討論了伍爾夫的“雌雄同體“這一概念。此概念意在解決男女作家在其作品中表現出的干擾到作品藝術價值的個人憤恨情緒以及過度的性別意識。第二章分析了伍爾夫非個人化思想中的主體普遍性原則,指出作家應當將個人的,獨特的和特定的指代以及經歷提煉並轉化為具有更大包含性的共同經歷以及非個人化藝術。第三章研究了伍爾夫對於意識流小說的原創性貢獻,並提出其在自由間接引語這種敘述手法方面的創新有助於非個人化思想更全面的表述。續前三章分析了伍爾夫非個人化美學思想中緊密相連的三個組成部分之後,第四章探究了伍爾夫非個人化美學觀中非個人化和作家個性特質緊密相連的關係,指出伍爾夫所提出的“女性語句“強調了男女作家在創作過程中對其性別差異以及個性特色有所體現的重要性,並堅持只有當作家達到非個人化狀態後他們的作品才能全面地體現其個性特色。第五章嘗試使用伍爾夫的非個人化小說創作思想分析了她的三部小說,提出伍爾夫的非個人化思想與其作品間的呼應性。結論部分討論了伍爾夫和湯瑪斯.斯特恩斯.艾略特在非個人化美學觀點上的分歧和相似處並重申了本文的中心論點,即伍爾夫的辯證式非個人化小說創作美學思想同時包含了作家非個人化和個性特色。 / This dissertation is a study of Virginia Woolf’s modernist notion of impersonality in fiction writing and its exemplification in her novels. It argues that featured by a strong gender-consciousness, Woolf’s aesthetics of dialectical impersonality embraces both impersonality and personality. In Woolf’s view, only when the writer is impersonal and detached can he/she create characters of universal significance, with the writer’s unique personality and gender traits fully dissolved into the text. / Chapter One is centered around Woolf’s term "androgyny", which deals with the problem of bitter emotions and excessive sex-consciousness in both women’s and men’s writing. Chapter Two analyzes the thematic principle of universality in Woolf’s idea of impersonality, arguing that personal and particular references and experiences should be purified and transmuted into more encompassing experiences and impersonal art. Chapter Three examines the stylistic feature of impersonality, and argues that Woolf’s original contribution to stream of consciousness novels with its narrative technique of free indirect discourse contributes to a full expression of impersonality. After unraveling the three key components of impersonality which are tightly interconnected, Chapter Four explores the dialectical relationship between impersonality and personality, arguing that Woolf’s proposal of "a woman’s sentence" stresses the writer’s gender differences and personality in writing. As an illustration of Woolf’s impersonality theory, Chapter Five attempts to analyze three of Woolf’s fictions in the light of her idea of impersonality. Conclusion reveals Woolf’s divergence from T. S. Eliot’s pervasive doctrine of impersonality, and reinforces my central argument that Woolf’s aesthetics of dialectical impersonality in fiction writing involves both impersonality and personality. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Huang, Zhongfeng. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves [292]-304). / Electronic reproduction.
