Abstract
One of the characteristic features of the oppressed is their ‘silence’. In The Woman Warrior, Kingston asks the meaning of ‘silence’ and resists the exclusion of women from history. To reconstruct her subjectivity and articulate her voice, Kingston operates her ‘evil eye’, which is Homi Bhabha’s term. Its gaze unsettles any simplistic polarities or binarisms in identifying the exercise of power and erases the analogical dimension in the articulation of sexual difference (Bhabha 76). So it frustrates the narcissistic patriarchal look, which denies the cultural and sexual difference. In this novel, Kingston subverts the discriminatory look through gazing the slippage and disclosing its lack. Kingston begins the story with her obliterated aunt who suicides herself because of having an illegal baby. Despite the family’s tacit order of silence, Kingston breaks it by writing about her aunt and resuscitates her back to history. She transforms the adultrate aunt into a woman who casts the counter-gaze to the patriarchal look. Kingston also shows us the limit of the myths and disrupts their authority by mimicrying the Chinese myths and subverting their superficial meaning. She symbolizes a writer as “an outlawed knot-maker” who weaves the outlawed knot. Weaving the outlawed knot means ‘talking the outlawed story’ and ‘reporting the erased history’. Writing a novel, for Kingston, is an act of producing the hybridity of race and sexuality. In The Woman Warrior Kingston suggests the unity of subjectivity and the possibility of transcending the gender and ethnic division into the universal humanity.
