Abstract

Chapter 5 turns to the manifestation of the monstrous vegan trope in two works by the British novelist Alan Hollinghurst: The Swimming-Pool Library (1988) and The Sparsholt Affair (2017). In order to establish the reparative potential of Hollinghurst’s vegan monsters, this chapter establishes the concept of ‘vegan camp’. Vegan camp is defined as a political aesthetic that transforms the trauma of recognizing the exploitation of animals into witty commentary on anthropocentric attitudes. Vegan camp offers the possibility of enjoying that which one is expected to repudiate, a queer mode of being and desiring that hyperbolically performs its failure to stand outside of existing structures of pleasure. Hollinghurst’s novels are seen to offer the potential of embracing derogatory vegan stereotypes as a means of challenging normative scripts of desire. Reading Hollinghurst’s novels through the lens of vegan camp offers a mode of asserting vegan agency.

艾伦·霍林赫斯特和怪物素食营
第五章转向英国小说家艾伦·霍林赫斯特的两部作品:《游泳池图书馆》(1988)和《斯帕肖特事件》(2017)中可怕的素食主义比喻的表现。为了确立霍林赫斯特的素食怪物的修复潜力,本章建立了“素食营地”的概念。素食主义阵营被定义为一种政治美学,它将认识到剥削动物的创伤转化为对人类中心主义态度的诙谐评论。素食主义者阵营提供了一种享受人们期望拒绝的东西的可能性,一种奇怪的存在和欲望模式,夸张地表现了它站在现有的快乐结构之外的失败。人们认为,霍林赫斯特的小说提供了接受贬义的素食刻板印象的潜力,作为挑战规范的欲望剧本的一种手段。透过纯素阵营的视角阅读霍林赫斯特的小说,提供了一种主张纯素机构的模式。
