2.4 Domestic Studies on Ecofeminism
In China, the research on ecofeminism developed relatively late, and the two earliest documents appeared: Friends of Nature · Ecofeminism ·Man and Nature by Liu Bing (1995). It basically introduced the conceptual framework and theory of ecofeminism. At present, the problems of ecofeminist research in China mainly focus on clarifying the concept of ecofeminist evaluation, the comparison of ecofeminist schools, the perspective of ecofeminist content and the interdisciplinary comparison. On the level of clarifying the concept and content of ecofeminism, many scholars have conducted research. In their article, Ecofeminism and its Meaning, Liu Bing and Cao Nanyan (1996) introduced the basic content of ecofeminism, and pointed out the basic issues concerned by ecofeminism. The second is social and ecofeminism. Their view is that only a sustainable socio- economic model of female development constructed based on the women’s principle can liberate women and nature. Third, it is philosophical ecofeminism. The scholars see the paternalistic world view as the root of gender oppression and ecological crisis. Among the many studies in China, some researchers have compared ecofeminism with other disciplines and drawn many influential opinions. Some scholars have also studied the issues and views concerned by ecofeminism. Ecofeminism advocates that women are closely connected with nature, so women ask to overthrow all the conceptual framework of oppression to realize the common development of women and nature.
2.5 Studies on Wide Sargasso Sea Abroad
Jane Rhys together with her works poses the very appeal for most literary critics and becomes the constant focus in the literary world. Wide Sargasso Sea is Rhys’s last but most successful work. Usually, it is regarded as the prequel to Jane Eyre, the classic of Charlotte Brontëin 19th century. Since the publication of this novel in 1966, it soon became popular and aroused the interests of literary critics all through the world. Extant studies on Wide Sargasso Sea, dedicated by international critics and reviewers, fall into six major categories. The first category interprets the novel from the perspective of its relation with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. The second category (Walter, 1967) considers the novel as a typical feminist novel through analyzing the characters in it and tries to prove the author to be a feminist writer.
In the third category, Baer & Emery (1990) uses the method of psychoanalysis, as Wide Sargasso Sea shares a mixture of nostalgia, and psychological sophistication, making itself an ideal platform to unfolding various characters’ development of psycho.
2.6 Domestic Studies on Wide Sargasso Sea
Many Chinese scholars and critics have shown a keen interest in this novel. In recent years, Rhys and her work Wide Sargasso Sea have attracted the attention of Chinese critics. They use the approach to explore the text of the problem from different perspectives. So far, the author of this article has found that there have been several essays about Rhys and Wide Sargasso Sea. There are basically three ways to explain the thematic significance of the novel as post-colonial, feminist and symbolic. Zhang Fa (cf. Zheng, 2008) is the main representative of the study of novel from a postcolonial perspective. They prefer to regard the novel as a textual account of the experiences of Europeans abroad and of other related issues of oppression and oppression of peoples. In his essay Postcolonial Theory from Said to Spiva and Khomi Baba, Zhang Fa analyzes Antoinette’s embarrassment in facing her identity problems. Antoinette is believed to be constantly ravaging between whites and blacks, unaware of his identity. Eventually,
she committed suicide by mistaking herself for the “other” and burning down the Thornfield. With an overview of the research on Wide Sargasso Sea both in China and abroad, it may be found that postcolonism, feminism, psychoanalysis and narratology form the main trend.
At present, only a few foreign scholars have been found to use ecofeminism to study the novel of the Wide Sargasso Sea. Relatively, there are more journal reviews and book reviews abroad, but the number is small. From the existing research materials at home and abroad, it can be seen that the research of Rhys works by scholars has yet to be comprehensively deepened.
To sum, relevant critiques seem to neglect, or at least forget to attach importance to an ecofeminist reading of the novel.
