《喊女溪》：边境空间中的奇卡纳女性身份

“Woman Hollering Creek”: Chicana Identity in Borderland

希斯内罗丝在其短篇集《喊女溪及其他》中结合传说拉罗罗娜的故事塑造了女主人公克里奥菲拉这一角色。作为生活在边境地区的奇卡纳女性形象，她的身份状态在其跨越边境进行空间流动时发生了变化。在这一过程中，她的命运与拉罗罗娜的传说联系在一起。凭借外界独立女性力量的帮助以及自身意识的觉醒，她最终改写了传说的悲剧结局。然而，克里奥菲拉最终并没有转变成为完全的独立女性，而只是在男性权威的监督与控制下实现了自身的部分觉醒。

In her short story collection Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories, Sandra Cisneros portrays the character of Cleofilas by combining the legendary tale of La Llorona. As a Chicana living in the borderland, her state of identity changes as she crosses the border. With the help of independent female characters and the awakening of her own consciousness, she eventually rewrites the legend’s tragic ending. However, Cleofilas is not ultimately transformed into a fully independent woman, but only partially awakens herself under the supervision and control of male authority.
