Abstract

Bisheshwar Prasad Koirala’s novel Tinghumti is always tempting for the reader as it still reflects the relevant picture of Nepali society. In this novel the characters defy as well as define the gender roles. Influenced with revolutionary thought they defy the prescribed gender roles; but chained in age old thought they, time and again, define the traditional gender role. This article aims to identify the reasons that drive these characters to defy and define the traditional gender roles. For that Judith Butler’s and Connell’s idea of gender theory has been used. The significance of this study is to contribute a different perspective for the reader to see the novel Tinghumti showing that traditional gender roles are meddled and confirmed in it. The study concludes that in the novel, the characters defy as well as define the socially prescribed gender role because gender is socio-political construction that achieves legitimacy and naturality via perpetual observation and repetition.

比什瓦尔·普拉萨德·柯伊拉腊《廷humti》中性别角色探析
比什瓦尔·普拉萨德·柯伊拉腊的小说《Tinghumti》总是吸引着读者,因为它仍然反映了尼泊尔社会的相关图景。在这部小说中,人物既蔑视性别角色,也定义了性别角色。受革命思想的影响,她们蔑视既定的性别角色;但被束缚在年龄上的他们一次又一次地定义了传统的性别角色。本文旨在找出驱使这些角色反抗和定义传统性别角色的原因。为此,朱迪思·巴特勒和康奈尔的性别理论被使用。本研究的意义在于为读者提供一个不同的视角来看待小说《亭呼提》,表明传统的性别角色在小说中被干预和确认。研究认为,在小说中,人物对社会规定的性别角色进行了挑战和定义,因为性别是一种社会政治建构,通过不断的观察和重复来实现合法性和自然性。
