From Oppression to Resistance: An Ecological Feminist Study on “<i>The Color Purple</i>”

《紫颜色》是著名美国黑人女作家艾丽斯·沃克的代表作。生态女性主义关注女性与自然的紧密联系，并认为人类对自然的控制和男性对女性的压迫和束缚同根同源，均来自于父权制和人类中心主义。文章旨在通过对小说中女性与自然之间的种种联系，以及二者从被压迫到反抗再到和解的过程进行分析解读，以探究作家艾丽斯·沃克深刻的生态关怀和女性意识。“The Color Purple” is the masterpiece of renowned African American female author Alice Walker. Ecofeminism focuses on the close connection between women and nature, arguing that man’s control over nature and male’s oppression and confinement of women share the same roots, both stemming from patriarchy and anthropocentrism. This paper aims to explore Alice Walker’s profound ecological concern and female consciousness by analyzing and interpreting the various connections between women and nature in the novel, as well as the process of oppression, resistance and reconciliation of the two.
