Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines Vladimir Kiselev’s young-adult novel, The Girl and the Bird Plane [Devochka i ptitselet], written in 1966, toward the end of the Thaw. While critics in the late 1960s and the screenwriters for the novel’s film version (The Transitional Age [Perekhodnyi vozrast], 1968, directed by Richard Viktorov) interpreted the work as centering on the complex relationships existing between generations, a contemporary rereading based on categories developed within the framework of gender studies brings the novel’s exploration of Soviet-era sex-role conflicts into sharp relief.
摘要本文考察了弗拉基米尔·基谢列夫的青年小说《女孩与鸟的飞机》(The Girl and The Bird Plane[Devochka i ptitselet]),这部小说写于1966年,当时正值陶王朝末期。虽然20世纪60年代末的评论家和小说电影版的编剧(《过渡时代》[Perekhodnyi-vozrast],1968年,理查德·维克托罗夫执导)将这部作品解读为以世代之间存在的复杂关系为中心,在性别研究的框架下,基于类别的当代重读使小说对苏联时代性别角色冲突的探索得到了极大的缓解。
