摘　　要：作为凯瑟"女性的"而非"女权主义的"边疆神话,《我的安东妮亚》不仅再现了女性拓荒者在颠覆传统大男子主义西部话语的同时又被其抑制的边疆生活困境,还勾勒了一幅多元文化互融的边疆图景。通过对《我的安东妮亚》和特纳边疆学说的对比阅读可以发现,凯瑟对特纳的边疆话语采取了"违法占用",达成与美国其他历史、社会话语的协商,从而参与到西部文化乃至美国文化的建构过程。My Antonia points to Cather 's feminine rather than feministic frontier myth,which not only represents the pioneer women 's subversive but contained frontier life struggles confronted with the stereotypical masculine discourse of the American West,but also exhibits a pluralistic frontier prospect.Through a comparative reading of My Antonia and Turner's frontier thesis,it can be noted that Cather has conducted a 'penal appropriation'of Turner's frontier discourse,thus achieving a negotiation with the other discourses in American history and society,participating in the construction of the meaning of the American West and even American culture.
