美国女作家伊迪斯·华顿在她的游记中显示出迥异的叙述策略。在欧洲游记中,她尽力遮掩自己的女性作家身份,模糊自己的文本控制者地位,让叙述者处于边缘地位。在摩洛哥游记中,文本叙述者从边缘走到了中心。在这里,东方“他者”衬托出了根深蒂固的白人优越感,并催生出一种彰显自我的强烈冲动。华顿游记中叙述策略的变化清晰地显示出当时西方白人女性作家特有的性别意识和身份困境。 Edith Wharton, an American woman writer, shows a very different narrative strategy in her travelogue. In European travels, she tried to hide her identity as a female writer, obscuring her position as the controller of the text, leaving her narrator marginalized. In Moroccan travels, text narrators walk from the periphery to the center. Here, the East “the Other ” sets off a deep sense of white superiority and spawns a strong impulse to express oneself. The changes in narrative tactics in Wharton’s Travels clearly show the unique gender awareness and identity predicament of western white women writers.
