摘　　要：美国小说家夏洛特·帕金斯·吉尔曼在其代表作《她乡》中虚构了女性乌托邦社会“她乡”,创造出一种非二元对立的独特女性话语。该书不仅揭示了隐藏在语言背后的权力运作,如何让男性通过语言实现对女性的压迫,而且设想出一种新的性别模式,颠覆了父权文化中语言和性别政治之间的关系,使男性的角色从合谋者转变为合作者。在女性同“他者”形成新的关系后,语言不再是男性实行强制支配的工具,而是建立在共同基础上构建两性主体性的工具。Language is by no means neutral,but filled with sexual inequality.American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman,in her masterpiece,a typical feminist utopian novel,Herland,not only fabricates a feminist utopian society,but also creates unique feminist discourse without binary opposition.Firstly,Gilman discloses power mechanism hidden behind language and points out how it helps men to repress women.Gilman provides a new pattern which disturbs the relationship between language and gender politics in patriarchy,transforming men from co-conspirator to cooperator.After rebuilding the relationship with the“Other”,language is not a tool for men to employ coercive control any more,but one helping to build subjectivity for the two genders.
