Abstract

This article reads Ali Smith’s 2014 novel How to Be Both alongside Deborah Levy’s Hot Milk (2016) and Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends (2017). Using Lauren Berlant’s conception of neoliberal “crisis subjectivity” and Sara Ahmed’s vision of feminist wonderment as an antidote to the neoliberal “promise of happiness,” it argues that each novel considers what might be salvaged and what might grow from situations in which young women become attuned to their mutual incarceration in neoliberal time’s double bind. It contends that the forced improvisation and feminist reorientation undertaken by the protagonists can be analyzed through the lens of temporality. Finally, it contemplates how the disciplinary-specific modes through which the novels’ protagonists consider temporality might be connected to the specific literary projects of their authors.

为她创造时间(又一次):近代英国和爱尔兰女性小说中的女性主义现象学和形式
本文阅读了阿里·史密斯2014年的小说《如何与黛博拉·利维的热牛奶》(2016)和莎莉·鲁尼的《与朋友的对话》(2017)同时进行。利用劳伦·伯兰特(Lauren Berlant)的新自由主义“危机主体性”概念,以及萨拉·艾哈迈德(Sara Ahmed)对女权主义奇迹的看法,作为新自由主义“幸福承诺”的解毒剂,它认为,每部小说都考虑到,年轻女性在新自由主义时代的双重束缚中适应了相互监禁,在这种情况下,什么可能被挽救,什么可能会成长。作者认为,主人公被迫的即兴创作和女权主义的重新定位可以通过时间性的视角来分析。最后,它还思考了小说主人公考虑时间性的特定学科模式如何与作者的特定文学项目联系起来。
