HÌNH TƯỢNG NGƯỜI PHỤ NỮ TRONG TRUYỆN NGẮN CÔNG GIÁO ĐƯƠNG ĐẠI: (Khảo sát qua một số truyện ngắn Công Giáo đương đại Việt Nam)

Abstract

In the flow of national literature, there is a part of literature that has been formed and developed for nearly 400 years - Catholic literature, but it still seems to be a strange world to the majority. Readers. Official Vietnamese literary history documents have not yet recognized the presence of this literary segment. In this article, we focus on studying the image of women in the contemporary Catholic short story genre. Under the pens of Catholic writers, the image of women appears with many different nuances and dimensions, and is contemplated as a mystery in the relationship between literature and religion. By surveying a number of publications to celebrate 400 years of Vietnamese Catholic literature, we aim to classify and interdisciplinaryly evaluate this unique type of image. The article will also refer to biblical thought and Christian aesthetics at some necessary points to analyze in depth some types of female images that have a high frequency of repetition. Thereby further clarifying the values and contributions of Catholic literature to the history of contemporary Vietnamese literature.
