"Homelessness" is a life status that women stay in family.It has different meanings in different periods.In modern feminist novels,the "homelessness" mainly refers to the state of homelessness.But in the new period mainly,it refers to the situation where women don't received family members' acceptance,respect and understanding under the patriarchal discourse system.The consciousness of "homelessness" is born with the state of "homelessness",which is a female psychological experience widely existed in feminist novels in the new period.It is as follows: first,women can be clearly aware of their "homelessness";second,based on the first point,the attitudes of women to the family are contrarily both unsatisfactory and dependent,both evasive and desirable;the third is passive consciousness which means women make themselves "the others" when they think about their relationship with their family.The consciousness of "homelessness" expresses the dissatisfaction and resistance of some women whose feminine awareness has been awakened.And it also reflects the difficult situation where women unconsciously fall into the trap of male power in their rebellion.This thesis is divided into five parts,to sorts out the content,form,development process and different authors narration of "homelessness" consciousness in the new feminist novels,and discusses its essence and significance.The introduction part mainly defines the conception of "homelessness" and consciousness of "homelessness",the research status,reasons and innovations of this topic.In the first chapter,the passage takes the "homelessness" in the feminist novels in the new period as an example to sort out the two "homelessness" conditions that wives,daughters and mother-in-laws aren't satisfied with family members' ignorant,exclusion or spiritual needs in daily life.And the passage also demonstrates what is "homelessness".The second chapter,based on the characteristics of consciousness,classifies the text expressions of "homelessness" consciousness,and concludes three characteristics of "homelessness" consciousness.The first is that women are aware of themselves in the "homelessness" situation.It includes women realize that they weren't really accepted by their families.Their spiritual needs are not respected by other family members.This awareness breaks the power mechanism of family,and deconstructs the conception of "home" in the feminist standpoint.The second is the contradictory emotional attitude of the female to the family's unsatisfactory and dependent.It shows the emotional model of "lacking-desiring-more lacking-more desiring" for family spiritual support.This emotional model is a conscious resistance and a unconscious compliance with the utterance of male power.The third is the passive thinking of "homelessness" consciousness.It is shown as a passive consciousness,and there are two specific ways.The first is women putting themselves in a passive position when they think about their relationship with family.The second is the dependence of "homelessness" consciousness on external stimuli in development.In fact,this way of thinking is the inheritance of the way of thinking of male rights.The third chapter discusses the meaning of "homelessness" consciousness from two angles of feminist literature and literary history.The significance of "homelessness" consciousness has three main meanings: first,as a new feminine consciousness,it enriches the content of feminist literature.Second,it subverts the "home" image of the male writers,and expands the critical angle of "home" in literature.Third,it is the inheritance and development of vagabond consciousness in the modern feminine novel.It is one of the concrete embodiment of the relationship between the female literature and the modern female literature in the new period.The conclusion summarizes the essence,function,era characteristics and inspiration of "homelessness" consciousness.The female consciousness of "homelessness" consciousness is more than the vagabond consciousness."Homelessness" consciousness is still at the primary stage of development,and will go through a long development process.It is produced and repressed by the patriarchal system.From the modern period to the new period,the meaning of “homeless” conditions has changed,but women still bear the misery.The full text from the text of the new era of female novels,from the feminist theory as the main theoretical basis,combined with the Foucault's theory of power,Bachelard's theory of space,the "homelessness" consciousness is discussed in detail to provide some enlightenment for the research of female consciousness in female literature.
