Abstract

This article focuses on several short stories in Linda Lê’s collection Autres jeux avec le feu (2002), and analyses identity as it is intertwined with the themes of inspiration and creation. ‘L’Échafaudage’ relates a visionary quest on the part of a protagonist whose name, Gemini, sets up the dynamic for this story and the collection. Fragmented identity is revealed by the name which indicates a twin nature. While he denies them, his quest reveals hidden selves, as demonstrated through readings informed by short story theory and centred on postcolonialism and gender. In the framing stories, ‘La Mouche’ and ‘Voix off’, the poet/muse trope is introduced. These stories present and perform an evolution of inspiration and creative voice as they relate to gender and memory. This evolution operates a reversal of the hierarchy inherent in the divided self as illustrated by Gemini, and opens the way to a feminine creative voice.

Linda Lê的其他火游戏中的灵感、创造和记忆
这篇文章聚焦于Linda Lê的作品集《Autres jeux avec le feu》(2002)中的几个短篇小说,并分析了身份与灵感和创作主题交织在一起的情况《Échafaudage》讲述了一位名叫双子座的主人公的富有远见的探索,为这个故事和系列奠定了动力。这个名字揭示了支离破碎的身份,它表明了一种双胞胎性质。虽然他否认了这些,但他的探索揭示了隐藏的自我,正如短篇小说理论所提供的阅读所证明的那样,并以后殖民主义和性别为中心。在框架故事“La Mouche”和“Voix off”中,引入了诗人/缪斯的比喻。这些故事呈现并表现了灵感和创造性声音的演变,因为它们与性别和记忆有关。正如双子座所示,这种进化逆转了分裂的自我固有的等级制度,并为女性创造性的声音开辟了道路。
