In The Testaments, Margaret Atwood takes readers deeper into her dystopian world of Gilead, also through the imagery of food and eating. The oppressive patriarchal regime enforces its power through dietary restrictions, reducing women into edibles. The Testaments (2019), moreover, creates the impression of a highly individual and authentic narratorial perspective. Thus, Atwood’s characters’ daily lives in a nightmarish theocracy are illustrated with images of dystopian food that reflect the limitations, constant control, and abuse of human rights in the Republic of Gilead. This article explores how Atwood employs the literary form of testimony to create fragments of individual lives in a dystopia brought closer to us through food metaphors and metaphors of cooking, or rendered shocking through metaphors of cannibalism. Since food (and lack of food) has emotional as well as political significance, it pervades the testimonial literature of oppressive regimes.
在《旧约》中,玛格丽特·阿特伍德通过食物和饮食的意象,将读者带入了她反乌托邦的基列世界。压迫性的父权制政权通过限制饮食来强化其权力,将女性变成可食之物。此外,《旧约》(2019)给人的印象是高度个人化和真实的叙述视角。因此,阿特伍德笔下人物在噩梦般的神权政治中的日常生活以反乌托邦食物的图像为例,这些图像反映了吉利德共和国对人权的限制、持续控制和滥用。这篇文章探讨了阿特伍德如何运用文学形式的证词,在一个反乌托邦中创造个人生活的片段,通过食物隐喻和烹饪隐喻拉近我们的距离,或者通过食人隐喻让人震惊。由于食物(和缺乏食物)具有情感和政治意义,它弥漫在压迫政权的证明文学中。

Rewriting Politics, or the Emerging Fourth Wave of Feminism in Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments 从玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《遗嘱》看改写政治,或新兴的第四波女权主义
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-28 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.87-96
Oana Gheorghiu, Michaela Praisler
Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) has recently returned to the spotlight with the success of its TV adaptation and with her decision to deliver a sequel. Speculative fiction invites speculative criticism; in this spirit, this paper investigates The Testaments (2019), tracing the rewriting of politics embedded in the narrative. Whilst the inspiration for The Handmaid’s Tale came from the rise of Christian fundamentalism, it is obvious from Atwood’s more recent statements that she considers the Trump era “a rollback of women’s rights” (2018). The slogan of second-wave feminists, ‘the personal is political,’ is now as topical as it was in the 1960s, and The Testaments may well become a literary manifesto of a new (fourth) wave as part of the storm surge of feminism. Therefore, before turning to Atwood, an outline of the chronological clashes of feminism(s) and a discussion on women and language is presented. This is followed by an examination of the three main characters and representatives of ideas.
玛格丽特·阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)的《使女的故事》(The Handmaid’s Tale,1985)最近因其电视改编成功并决定推出续集而重新成为人们关注的焦点。思辨小说招致思辨批评;本着这种精神,本文对《旧约》(2019)进行了研究,追踪了政治在叙事中的改写。虽然《使女的故事》的灵感来自基督教原教旨主义的兴起,但从阿特伍德最近的声明中可以明显看出,她认为特朗普时代是“女权的倒退”(2018)。第二波女权主义者的口号“个人就是政治”现在和20世纪60年代一样热门,《遗嘱》很可能成为新(第四)波女权主义风暴的一部分。因此,在转向阿特伍德之前,我们概述了女权主义在时间上的冲突,并讨论了女性与语言。接下来是对三个主要人物和思想代表的考察。

Replenishing the Odyssey: Margaret Atwood’s and John Barth’s Postmodern Epics 补充奥德赛:玛格丽特·阿特伍德和约翰·巴斯的后现代史诗
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-26 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.41-55

The paper focuses on Margaret Atwood’s novel The Penelopiad and John Barth’s short stories “Menelaiad” and “Anonymiad,” comparing the approaches of the two authors in their postmodernist retellings of Homer’s Odyssey. Both Atwood and Barth base their narratives on minor episodes from this epic, with its less prominent or unnamed characters assuming the roles of the narrators. Using different postmodernist techniques, the authors experiment with the form and content of the narration, combine different genres, and demythologize the situations and characters. In their re-evaluations and reinterpretations of the Odyssey, they create works which epitomize Barth’s notion of postmodernist fiction as a literature of replenishment. The comparative analysis presented in this paper aims to highlight the ways in which Atwood and Barth challenge the old and add new perspectives on Homer’s epic, at the same time confirming its relevance in the postmodern context.
本文以玛格丽特·阿特伍德的长篇小说《佩内洛普》和约翰·巴特的短篇小说《墨涅莱亚德》和《佚名》为研究对象,比较了两位作者对荷马史诗《奥德赛》的后现代主义复述。阿特伍德和巴斯的叙述都是以这部史诗中的小情节为基础的,其中不太突出或不知名的人物扮演了叙述者的角色。作者运用不同的后现代主义手法,对叙事的形式和内容进行了实验,结合了不同的体裁,对情境和人物进行了去神话化处理。在他们对《奥德赛》的重新评价和重新诠释中,他们创作的作品体现了巴特的后现代主义小说作为一种补充文学的概念。本文的比较分析旨在突出阿特伍德和巴斯对荷马史诗的挑战和新视角的方式,同时确认其在后现代语境中的相关性。

The article presents the results of a culture quiz that was administered among undergraduate students of English and Translation at the University of Maribor in 2019. Comprising twenty items from five domains of culture that the respondents had to identify, the results of the quiz showed that that the students were most familiar with items from the domains of technology and its closely related vocabulary, followed by sports, politics and high culture (drama, literature, ballet). The study also suggested some differences based on respondents’ gender and their high school grade performance in English. The results partly overlap with the results of a similar study from 2007, corroborating that popular culture remains the most recognizable cultural domain among the surveyed students.
本文介绍了2019年马里博尔大学英语和翻译专业本科生进行的文化测验的结果。测验的结果显示,学生们最熟悉的是来自五个文化领域的项目及其密切相关的词汇,其次是体育、政治和高雅文化(戏剧、文学、芭蕾)。该研究还指出,受访者的性别和高中英语成绩存在一些差异。这一结果与2007年的一项类似研究的结果部分重叠,证实了流行文化仍然是受调查学生中最具辨识度的文化领域。

Atwood’s Reinventions: So Many Atwoods 阿特伍德的革新:阿特伍德如此之多
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-26 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.15-28
C. A. Howells
In The Malahat Review (1977), Canadian critic Robert Fulford described Margaret Atwood as “endlessly Protean,” predicting “There are many more Atwoods to come.” Now at eighty, over forty years later, Atwood is an international literary celebrity with more than fifty books to her credit and translated into more than forty languages. This essay focuses on the later Atwood and her apparent reinvention since 2000, where we have seen a marked shift away from realistic fiction towards popular fiction genres, especially dystopias and graphic novels. Atwood has also become increasingly engaged with digital technology as creative writer and cultural critic. As this reading of her post-2000 fiction through her extensive back catalogue across five decades will show, these developments represent a new synthesis of her perennial social, ethical and environmental concerns, refigured through new narrative possibilities as she reaches out to an ever-widening readership, astutely recognising “the need for literary culture to keep up with the times.”
在《马拉哈特评论》(1977)中,加拿大评论家罗伯特·富尔福德将玛格丽特·阿特伍德描述为“千变万化”,并预言“未来会有更多的阿特伍德。”四十多年后的今天,八十岁的阿特伍德是一位国际文学名人,她写了五十多部作品,并被翻译成四十多种语言。本文关注的是阿特伍德的后期作品,以及她自2000年以来的明显重塑。2000年以来,我们看到阿特伍德从现实主义小说转向通俗小说,尤其是反乌托邦小说和图画小说。作为创意作家和文化评论家,阿特伍德也越来越多地与数字技术打交道。通过阅读她在2000年后出版的小说,我们可以看到,这些发展代表了她长期关注的社会、伦理和环境问题的新综合,随着她接触到越来越广泛的读者,她敏锐地认识到“文学文化需要跟上时代的步伐”,这些发展通过新的叙事可能性进行了重新塑造。

Othering, Resistance and Recovery in Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye 玛格丽特·阿特伍德《猫眼》中的他者、反抗与恢复
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-26 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.29-40

This paper deals with Margaret Atwood’s novel Cat’s Eye and its depiction of alienation, victimization and recovery in the life of its protagonist, Elaine Risley. Highlighting Elaine’s sense of displacement and her feelings of fellowship with minority figures, the paper provides insights into these processes by relying on postcolonial theories of othering and cultural resistance. It first explores how Elaine is bullied, marginalized and alienated when the cultural and social differences of a new environment make her a target for allegations of abnormality. The focus then shifts to Elaine’s development and maturation as a form of recovery, as well as to the roles that art, memory and compassion play in this process. Ultimately, the paper concludes that Cat’s Eye depicts both an instance of othering and the heroine’s struggle to reverse it. However, even for Elaine, a member of the white middle class, such a reversal remains inevitably incomplete.
本文分析了玛格丽特·阿特伍德的小说《猫眼》及其主人公伊莱恩·里斯利的异化、受害和康复过程。强调伊莱恩的流离失所感和她与少数民族人物的友谊感,本文通过依赖于他者和文化抵抗的后殖民理论,提供了对这些过程的见解。它首先探讨了当一个新环境的文化和社会差异使伊莱恩成为指控她异常的目标时,她是如何被欺负、边缘化和疏远的。然后,重点转移到伊莱恩作为一种康复形式的成长和成熟,以及艺术、记忆和同情在这个过程中所扮演的角色。最后,本文得出结论,《猫眼》既描绘了他人的例子,也描绘了女主角为扭转这种情况而进行的斗争。然而,即使对伊莱恩这个白人中产阶级的一员来说,这样的逆转也不可避免地仍然是不完整的。

Elimination of Gender Equality in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale 玛格丽特·阿特伍德《使女的故事》中性别平等的消除
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-26 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.57-66
Beatrix Kiss
This paper explores the elimination of equality in The Handmaid’s Tale in four areas, called the “4Ds”: distinction, dependence, division and dominance. Distinction is a biological point of view in which the Handmaids’ fertility becomes the foundation of their victimization. Dependence analyzes turning fertility into their obligation, integrating Foucault’s “socialization of procreative behavior,” leading to dependence on men. Division entails the physical division of Gilead into subgroups – Handmaids, Wives, etc. – along with the mental division created by distrust among people, harnessed to forestall rebellion. The last area, Dominance, connects the previous areas. Judith Butler’s idea that “the body is a variable boundary,” shows that the political power over the Handmaids’ bodies equals dominance over society and the future, too. The article ends with the conclusion that destruction of women’s rights eventually erases the notion of “woman.”
本文从区分(distinction)、依赖(dependence)、分裂(division)和支配(dominance)四个方面探讨了《使女的故事》中对平等的消解。区别是生物学的观点使女的生育能力成为她们受害的基础。依赖分析了将生育变成她们的义务,整合了福柯的“生育行为的社会化”,导致对男性的依赖。分裂导致基列在身体上被分成几个小群体——使女、妻子等等——以及由于人们之间的不信任而产生的精神分裂,这些分裂被用来防止叛乱。最后一个区域,统治,连接前面的区域。巴特勒(Judith Butler)的“身体是一个可变的边界”的观点表明,对使女身体的政治权力也等于对社会和未来的统治。文章最后的结论是,对妇女权利的破坏最终抹去了“女人”的概念。

Machine Translated Atwood: Utopia or Dystopia? 机器翻译的阿特伍德:乌托邦还是反乌托邦?
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-26 DOI: 10.4312/elope.17.1.125-141

Margaret Atwood’s masterful linguistic creativity exceeds the limits of ordinary discourse. Her elliptical language contributes to interpretative gaps, while the ambiguity and openness of her texts intentionally deceive the reader. The translator of Atwood’s texts therefore faces the challenge of identifying the rich interpretative potential of the original, as well as of preserving it in the target language. Witnessing the rise of artificial intelligence, a natural question arises whether a human translator could ever be replaced by a machine in translating such challenging texts. This article aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on literary machine translation by examining the translations of Atwood’s “Life Stories” generated by two neural machine translation (NMT) systems and comparing them to those produced by translation students. We deliberately chose a literary text where the aesthetic value depends mostly on the author’s personal style, and which we had presumed would be problematic to translate.
玛格丽特·阿特伍德高超的语言创造力超出了一般话语的极限。她简洁的语言造成了解释上的空白,而她的文本的模糊性和开放性有意欺骗读者。因此,阿特伍德文本的译者面临着识别原文丰富的解释潜力以及将其保留在目标语言中的挑战。随着人工智能的兴起,一个自然的问题出现了,在翻译如此具有挑战性的文本时,人类译者是否能被机器取代。本文旨在通过研究由两个神经机器翻译(NMT)系统生成的阿特伍德的《生活故事》的翻译,并将其与翻译学生的翻译进行比较,为当前关于文学机器翻译的争论做出贡献。我们故意选择了一种文学文本,在这种文本中,美学价值主要取决于作者的个人风格,而我们认为翻译起来会有问题。

The Art of Laughing: A Study of the Tempo-Spatial Matrix in Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer 笑的艺术:奥利弗·戈德史密斯的《她卑躬屈膝去征服》中的时空矩阵研究
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-02-11 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.17.2.137-147
M. Javanian, F. Rahmani
Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer (1773) was staged only two weeks after the publication of his Essay on the Theatre, in which he famously compared sentimental comedies with what he described as laughing comedies. The play thus illustrates Goldsmith’s principles for his ideal laughing comedy. One of the aspects of this type of comedy, which has rarely been addressed, is its representation of the matrix of temporal and spatial elements, or what Mikhail Bakhtin calls a chronotope. The present study is thus aimed at investigating She Stoops to Conquer in terms of Bakhtinian chronotope. The study argues how different chronotopes have influenced the behaviours as well as the decisions of characters in the play. Moreover, it shows that the chronotopic framework can shed new light on the play’s portrayal of the class divisions in the eighteenth century, when the middle class was emerging in England’s social system.
奥利弗·戈德史密斯的《她卑躬屈膝去征服》(1773)在他的《戏剧论》发表两周后上演。在《戏剧论》中,他将感伤喜剧与他所说的“笑喜剧”进行了著名的比较。因此,这部戏阐明了戈德史密斯理想的笑喜剧的原则。这类喜剧的一个方面,很少被提及,是它对时间和空间元素矩阵的表现,或者是米哈伊尔·巴赫金所说的时间点。因此,本研究的目的是根据巴赫蒂安的时标来调查《她屈服于征服》。研究表明,不同的时间点如何影响剧中人物的行为和决定。此外,它还表明,当中产阶级在英国社会体系中崛起时,这一时间顺序框架可以为该剧对18世纪阶级分化的描绘提供新的线索。

The play thus illustrates Goldsmith’s principles for his ideal laughing comedy. One of the aspects of this type of comedy, which has rarely been addressed, is its representation of the matrix of temporal and spatial elements, or what Mikhail Bakhtin calls a chronotope. The present study is thus aimed at investigating She Stoops to Conquer in terms of Bakhtinian chronotope. The study argues how different chronotopes have influenced the behaviours as well as the decisions of characters in the play. Moreover, it shows that the chronotopic framework can shed new light on the play’s portrayal of the class divisions in the eighteenth century, when the middle class was emerging in England’s social system.","PeriodicalId":37589,"journal":{"name":"ELOPE: English Language Overseas Perspectives and Enquiries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73352107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue of ELOPE is dedicated to language education, which is gaining significance in today’s world as many countries are reshaping their language policies by either introducing languages earlier in the curriculum or implementing additional languages into primary and secondary education. In this context many issues need to be reconsidered, among which teaching and teacher education are the most crucial ones.
这一期《国际语言教育与发展》致力于语言教育,这在当今世界越来越重要,因为许多国家正在通过在课程中更早地引入语言或在中小学教育中实施额外的语言来重塑其语言政策。在此背景下,许多问题需要重新思考,其中教学和教师教育是最关键的问题。
