Narrative Voice,Narrative Focus and Reshaping Female Discourse Authority:On the Audiovisual Narratives Strategy of The Unwomanly Face of War
Most researchers analyze the female images of Svetlana Aleksievich's The Unwomanly Face of War with the feminist theory,and some critics discuss the polyphonic art in works.However,there is no interpretation on how to establish female authority through the way of narrative.Through the multiple narrative focuses,the works shows the group memory of the female soldiers who participated in the Great Patriotic War,and the"non-fictional"description of the female soldiers'sensory world and spiritual world not only expresses the shielding of women's voice in the patriarchal society implicitly,but also shows the marginality of women and the intention of reshaping the authority of female discourse.This paper analyzes the potential deconstruction discourse from the narrative focus and the narrative voice,that is,the deconstruction of the male discourse right and the establishment of the female discourse right,in order to explore the writer's creative practice of reconstructing the picture of war and reshaping the female discourse authority.
