The Gender Writing And Its Internal Culture In Xinjiang Contemporary Literature

The theory of "Spatial Turn" in the western academic thoughts and the theory of "Difference" in cultural globalization studies have had great influence on Chinese contemporary literature research in the second half of the 20th century. The thoughts of regional literature studies and the multi-ethnic literature research have become more and more flourishing since the mid-1980s, among which, Xinjiang literature has become a charming academic field. With Xinjiang contemporary literature as the object, and with the gender writing as the focus, this paper focuses on a whole analysis on the gender writing and the cultural connotations in Xinjiang contemporary literature under the background of its regional culture and ethnic culture.In chapter one, the significance and validity of the gender perspective to literature studies are illustrated firstly. In the cultural studies of the academic areas, it is a new way of contemporary Chinese literature study to bring gender perspective and method into regional literature research, which is opened by the combination of the poetics of gender and the geo-poetics. Reading contemporary literature in Xinjiang from the view of gender means that the mechanism of gender in Xinjiang's Multicultural scene is the background of discovering and putting forward questions when we analyze the complex cultural connotations reflected by the representing constructing, deconstructing of the various gender rules in Xinjiang literature. It would reveal the heterogeneous characteristics in the culture comprehensiveness and the esthetic complexity between Xinjiang Literature and the literature in other provinces, also the internal differences of Xinjiang literature as an "active culture fossil", which can not be put together in ethnic and scenery.In the second, third and forth Chapter, in view of the texts of the different subjects, the paper mainly discussed the gender writing in Xinjiang literature in three scenery of minority, Xinjiang production and construction Corps and Xinjiang immigrants.As is shown to reader, the minority subject literature in Xinjiang presents another style of literature world which is different from the Han Literature. What the writing described about the gender issues in traditional private patriarchy of Xinjiang is helpful for us to understand the existence history and the real situation of female. The description about the relationship between Han and minorities, male and female in the revolutionary course reflects the construction of the new ethnic and gender relationship. The narrative of the minority women's destiny and psychological situation during the transition from the local (or nomadic) civilization to the modern urban civilization not only reappears the encouraging change of the minority women's living, also shows their new existential anxiety and the loss of subjectivity. Between tradition and modernity, those women who have obtained the consciousness firstly are still finding the outlet with conflicting emotions.The gender writing in the literary works drawn from the Corps life shows the special cultural connotation and the construction of the public patriarchy. In this process, whether male or female, are all be disciplined and firmly controlled under the authority of collective father by the mechanism, such as discipline, rewards and punishments, ideological education etc. The representations of Corps women as sexual objects, labors and mother reveal their objective process and the life of individuals. Likewise, from the view of the literature, those Corps men who are interpreted as the history master and the national heroes are the power holders only in their daily life. They are also the requisitioned people by the patriarchal state in the social system.The gender writing is much more complicated in the literature about the theme "immigrant", because the state of moving is complex. There are group immigration, personal wondering, pursuit on one's own initiative, passive transfer and so on. In immigrants'floating life and the constantly changing social relations, the sex/gender has meanings and functions beyond the general morality. For example, for the Sibo writers who are the descendants of group immigrants, the gender writing is associated with the national culture that the groups in the edge of the culture try to defend and reconstruct. In the writing about the aimlessly drifting people, the sex has become the insight of the original existence. And there is some difference between male and female writers in those writings. But from the subjective "other" sight of Wang Meng, the modern wondering writer, the minority characters'sex has different expressive functions.Above all, based on Xinjiang regional culture, national culture and the contemporary historical development, the paper enters into the Xinjiang literature study from the view of "gender writing". In the intertextuality of literary text and culture, it presents the rich regional and ethnic cultural connotations of Xinjiang through the multiple difference of sex/gender in the linguistic symbol. Meanwhile, it analyzes the varieties of the male/female's cultural situation through the special regional patriarchy symbolic order. The significance of the gender writing in Xinjiang literature lies on a wide variety of gender-ecology. The creation of multi-national, all sorts of cultural identity, and various characteristics of the male/female images enriches the figure gallery in Chinese contemporary literature.However, there are still some deficiencies in certain aspects of the gender writings in Xinjiang literature, such as the female writers'writing experience on women and the gender-consciousness writing of the individual writer. The gender study on Xinjiang literature needs more detailed discussion or further development in the new perspectives of theory.
