Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent times, the Irish literary arena has witnessed an extraordinary flourishing of women’s life writing, with a special interest in the examination of the female body. These works explore the relations between identity, memoir, and narration through the confessional, and reconceptualise the female body in the Irish context. This article sets out to examine collections of essays by two of these women writers, Emilie Pine’s Notes to Self (2019) and Sinéad Gleeson’s Constellations: Reflections from Life (2019), as innovative explorations of identity by applying Michael Bamberg’s integrative approach of narrative analysis. It aims to illuminate these examples of essayism as ‘interactional and bodily performed’ narratives, in Bamberg’s words, and as testimonies of transformation and adaptation of the body-mediated selves not only in Ireland, but universally. Pine and Gleeson’s essays look back on painful past experiences and explore the intersection of identity, textuality, and the body.

爱尔兰女性的忏悔写作:身份、文本性与身体
近年来,爱尔兰文坛上的女性生活写作异常繁荣,对女性身体的审视尤为关注。这些作品通过忏悔来探索身份、回忆录和叙事之间的关系,并重新定义爱尔兰语境下的女性身体。本文旨在研究其中两位女作家的散文集,艾米丽·派恩的《自我笔记》(2019)和辛姆萨德·格里森的《星座:生活的反思》(2019),通过运用迈克尔·班伯格的综合叙事分析方法,对身份进行创新探索。用班伯格的话说,它的目的是阐明这些散文作为“互动和身体表演”叙事的例子,不仅在爱尔兰,而且在世界范围内,作为身体中介自我的转变和适应的见证。派恩和格里森的文章回顾了痛苦的过去经历,并探索了身份、文本和身体的交集。
