论美国中产阶级家庭角色的重构——对影片《克莱默夫妇》的解读

摘要

美国电影《克莱默夫妇》首次以大众媒体的形式表现了美国传统的中产阶级家庭模式在20世纪70年代所进行的重构。本文把影片分析与美国当时的社会现实相结合,剖析了传统中产阶级家庭模式如何在＂两分领域＂的思想框架下得以建立,以及如何受到女权主义思想和运动的挑战而不得不发生转变;同时,文章探讨了影片所隐含的男权思想对男性角色重构的全面肯定以及对女权意识抱有的不满和谴责,并进一步指出,在如今的美国社会＂两分领域＂的传统观念仍然在发挥作用,传统家庭模式的重构仍有很长一段路要走。%Kramer vs. Kxamer is the first film that dramatizes the reconstruction of the traditional middle-class family pattern in the United States in the form of mass media. Through an analysis of the film and the current social reality, this paper discusses how the traditional gender roles in American middle-class family got constructed within the theoretical framework of ＂separate spheres＂ and how they started to transform under the challenge of feminism. In the meanwhile, the paper explores the attitudes implied towards the transformation, full support and compliment of the new male potential, resentment and denunciation of the feminist awareness.
