问题          Feminist critics have often pondered whether a postmodern language may
     be articulated that obviates the essentialist arrogance of much modernist and
     some feminist discourse and does not reduce feminism to silences or a purely
     negative and reactionary stance. This ideal may be actualized in a discourse that
(5)   recognizes itself as historically situated, as motivated by values and, thus,
     political interests, and as a human practice without transcendent justification.
     The author Dorothy Allison meets these criteria by focusing on women who have
     been marginalized by totalizing forces and ideas, while simultaneously
     reminding the reader, through the wide range of women that she portrays and
(10)  their culpability in her protagonists’ predicaments, that unlike pure and
     transcendent heroes, women are real characters and morally complex. Allison
     insists that humans are burdened with the responsibility of fashioning their own
     stories, quotidian as they may be, and while these will never offer the solace of
     transcendent justification, the constant negotiation between the word and the
(15)  world avoids reticence on the one hand and the purely negative on the other.

选项 A、derives from a negative stance toward feminism
B、predates the birth of postmodernism as a literary movement
C、encourages writers to tell humdrum stories
D、limits the construction of morally complex characters
E、contributes to the politicization and historical orientation of texts
