Feminist Narratology and its Localization Practice in Chinese Contemporary Literature

Feminist narratology is a combination of feminism and narratology. It first appeared in 1980s, and is still an important branch of ‘‘post-classical narratology’’ that is still thriving in international academic community. The practices of feminist narratological analyses are still in a marginalized state in compare with its theory and the interpretation of feminist gender politics. Current research of Chinese modern and contemporary literature has its own creative points in localization practice of feminist narratology, and some even challenge western discourses and improve our own feminist narattological studies; while on the other hand, we also have kinds of deficiencies and should pay more attention to the fluidity of China’s social contexts and the special features of the contexts of Chinese literature. As a kind effective research method, feminist narratology will play a more important role for Chinese literature of 21st century.
