论帕特利克·怀特作品中的性

帕特利克·怀特是澳大利亚最富盛名的现代主义文学家、1973年诺贝尔文学奖得主。作为一名同性恋作家，在当时主流社会文化的钳制下，怀特不可能在作品中充分表现自身的性别身份和价值，因此他对于同性恋问题的表现较为隐晦，其作品往往以某种被掩盖、扭曲、变形的间接手段对性这一主题进行表现。通过对怀特作品的细致分析，可以发现性身份的流动性、男性身份在社会交往行为中的主导性、父母力量不均衡对儿童性心理发展的影响等问题。怀特则籍其对性主题的发掘，以其独特的方式对人性的方方面面进行深入的分析和表现。

Sexuality in Patrick White＇s Works

As Australia＇s only Nobel Literary Prize laureate, Patrick White is the most renowned modernist writer in Australia. As a homosexual, White had been undergoing the suppression and repression of the then mainstream social culture, and was not able to fully show his sexual identity and value in his literary works. As a result, homosexuality has been expressed indirectly, often camouflaged and distorted. Close analysis on his works reveals such features as the fluidity of sexual identity, the dominance of male identity in social interactions, and the influence of the unbalanced powers between the father and the mother on the sexual psychological development in children. With exploration of the theme of sexuality, White studied and uncovered various aspects of humanity in his unique way.
