Abstract

Abstract:Sigrid Nunez’s 2018 novel The Friend reveals the tension between anthropomorphism defined as naïve or arrogant projection and anthropomorphism as a critical intervention with stakes for intimacy, mourning, and anti-violence. Through close readings of The Friend and Coetzee’s Disgrace, which Nunez’s novel evokes, this essay argues for a critical anthropomorphism and shows, with Nunez, how it can become a means of relating non-violently to others in their differences, including the dead, animals, and women.

#MeToo之后的批判拟人化:阅读朋友
摘要:西格丽德·努涅斯2018年的小说《朋友》揭示了被定义为天真或傲慢投射的拟人化与被定义为亲密、哀悼和反暴力的关键干预的拟人化之间的紧张关系。通过仔细阅读努涅斯的小说所唤起的《朋友》和库切的《耻辱》,本文主张批判性的拟人化,并与努涅斯一起展示了它如何成为一种非暴力地与他人联系的方式,包括死者、动物和女性。

期刊介绍: For over thirty years, diacritics has been an exceptional and influential forum for scholars writing on the problems of literary criticism. Each issue features articles in which contributors compare and analyze books on particular theoretical works and develop their own positions on the theses, methods, and theoretical implications of those works.
