The events narrated in Muriel Rukeyser’s The Book of the Dead (1938) constitute a good example of what Rob Nixon calls “slow violence,” a type of “attritional,” non-spectacular violence that seems to resist effective literary representation. This essay focuses on the strategies Rukeyser deploys in order to overcome the representational limits posed by Nixon’s “slow violence”: the patchwork of genres, the choice of a polyphonic poem-sequence structure and, last but not least, the visible process of “wastification” of the tunnel workers, who play such a central role in the poem. Read in the light of recent scholarship on waste, Rukeyser’s The Book of the Dead emerges as one of the first poem sequences to explore the conjunction of material toxic waste (silica dust) and human “wastification.”
Muriel Rukeyser的《亡者之书》(The Book of The Dead, 1938)中叙述的事件构成了Rob Nixon所说的“缓慢暴力”的一个很好的例子,这是一种“消耗”,不引人注目的暴力,似乎抵制有效的文学表现。本文关注Rukeyser为克服尼克松的“缓慢暴力”所带来的代表性限制所采用的策略:体裁的拼凑,复调诗歌序列结构的选择,最后但并非最不重要的是,隧道工人的明显“浪费”过程,他们在诗中扮演着如此重要的角色。根据最近关于废物的学术研究,Rukeyser的《亡灵之书》是第一批探索有毒废物(硅尘)和人类“废物”之间联系的诗歌系列之一。

DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS OF WASTE AND SLOW VIOLENCE IN ANN PANCAKE’S STRANGE AS THIS WEATHER HAS BEEN. 胡言乱语的浪费和缓慢暴力在安烧饼的奇怪天气中一直存在。

This paper addresses the representation of environmental destruction in the Appalachian coalfields in the novel Strange as this Weather Has Been (Ann Pancake, 2007). Pancake’s book follows the disbandment of a family of six in southern West Virginia and presents us with the dilemmas they must confront, most notably whether they should leave or stay and organize against the coal company. I seek to analyze the ways in which the novel conveys each character’s embodied, material experience when facing environmental destruction; moreover, I examine the way in which slow violence is represented in the text. Focusing on Appalachia’s extractivist past (and present), I argue that Strange as this Weather Has Been ultimately helps to counter the existing prejudice against poor whites in the region by fostering reader empathy through the textual recreation of the bleak environmental condition in the novel’s storyworld.
本文讨论了小说《奇怪的天气》(Ann Pancake, 2007)中阿巴拉契亚煤田环境破坏的表现。本尼的书讲述了西弗吉尼亚州南部一个六口之家的解散,并向我们展示了他们必须面对的困境,最引人注目的是他们是应该离开还是留下来组织起来反对煤炭公司。我试图分析小说中每个人物面对环境破坏时的具体物质体验;此外,我还考察了文本中缓慢暴力的表现方式。关注阿巴拉契亚地区过去(和现在)的采掘主义,我认为《奇怪的天气》最终有助于消除该地区对贫穷白人的偏见,通过在小说故事世界中对荒凉环境条件的文本再现,培养读者的同理心。

The Joker is one of the most frightening comic book characters ever created and has, as a result, been the subject of numerous adaptations to film and television. This article analyses the portrayals of the Joker by actors Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix in The Dark Knight (2008) and Joker (2019), respectively, and the differences in their representations of the Joker in relation to fear. It also explores how the two films serve as allegorical representations of public fears present at the time of the films’ creation, and how these fears are either embodied in or experienced by each films’ Joker. Fear elements utilized by each film’s Joker character are also analysed, i.e., acts of terrorism, use of make-up, and laughter. Moreover, the article’s treatment of the Joker reveals a character who is a victim both of public fears and of his own traumatic past—fearful experiences which come to shape the Joker’s violent persona. The article’s comparative analysis makes use of psychological and sociological explanations of fear and its characteristics.
小丑是有史以来最可怕的漫画人物之一,因此被改编成许多电影和电视。本文分析了演员希斯·莱杰和杰昆·菲尼克斯分别在《黑暗骑士》(2008)和《小丑》(2019)中对小丑的塑造,以及他们对小丑在恐惧方面的不同表现。它还探讨了这两部电影是如何在电影创作时作为公众恐惧的讽喻代表的,以及这些恐惧是如何体现在每一部电影的小丑身上或在他们身上经历的。我们还分析了每部电影中小丑角色所使用的恐惧元素,即恐怖主义行为、化妆和笑声。此外,这篇文章对小丑的处理揭示了一个角色,他既是公众恐惧的受害者,也是他自己创伤的过去的受害者——恐惧的经历塑造了小丑的暴力形象。本文的比较分析运用了心理学和社会学对恐惧及其特征的解释。

'FRAGMENTED AND BEWILDERING:' THE NEW RISK SOCIETY IN JENNY OFFILL'S WEATHER. "支离破碎,令人困惑"珍妮·奥菲尔笔下的新风险社会。

Rubén Peinado Abarrio
US author Jenny Offill’s Weather (2020) shows her idiosyncratic take on the notion of risk society. In the novel and its accompanying website, Offill develops a type of anxious fragmentation as an answer to the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A multiple text characterized by compulsive quotation and the formal influence of digital media, Weather is held together by a first-person confessional voice. Eventually, Offill manages to achieve a sense of interconnection through an aesthetics of the fragment thanks to a double movement: she favors a critical posthumanist perspective that understands the interrelational subject as constituted by interaction with multiple others, and she explicitly calls for collective action. Therefore, I conclude that Weather represents Offill’s both aesthetic and political quest, as she distinctly aspires to elicit an answer from readers in the form of social activism.
美国作家珍妮·奥菲尔的《天气》(2020)展示了她对风险社会概念的独特看法。在小说和随附的网站中,奥菲尔提出了一种焦虑的分裂,作为对第四次工业革命挑战的回答。《天气》是一个以强迫性引用和数字媒体的正式影响为特征的多重文本,由第一人称忏悔的声音串联在一起。最终,Offill成功地通过碎片美学实现了一种相互联系的感觉,这要归功于双重运动:她赞成一种批判的后人类主义观点,认为相互关系的主体是由与多个他人的互动构成的,她明确呼吁集体行动。因此,我得出结论,威瑟代表了奥菲尔的美学和政治追求,因为她显然渴望以社会行动主义的形式从读者那里得到答案。

THE FORCES THAT CAME TOGETHER TO INFLICT THAT PAIN”: CLASS, RACE, AND SEXUALITY IN ELLEN FELDMAN’S SCOTTSBORO 在艾伦·费尔德曼的《斯科茨伯勒》中,“共同造成痛苦的力量”:阶级、种族和性

Constante González Groba
In the infamous Scottsboro case (Alabama, 1931), nine black youths were falsely accused of raping two low-class white girls that happened to be sexually promiscuous with both white and black males. The Scottsboro Boys were innocent victims of the southern rape complex and the automatic legal lynching of any black male accused of raping a white woman. The main character of Ellen Feldman’s novel Scottsboro (2008) is based largely on two progressive northern reporters, Mary Heaton Vorse and Hollace Ransdall, both of whom looked into the case. She visits Alabama and learns about the complex racial, class, and gender relations there, as well as her own bigotry and class-privilege. Like Ransdall and Vorse, she reports on an event in which two poor victims of capitalist oppression are elevated from the level of “white trash” to be made representatives of “defiled” white womanhood, while eight of the nine black youths, stereotyped as hypersexualized and inherently criminal, are given death sentences because of the tyranny of values which mean nothing in the life of the girls themselves.
在臭名昭著的斯科茨伯勒案(阿拉巴马州,1931年)中,9名黑人青年被诬告强奸了两名下层白人女孩,而这两名女孩恰好与白人和黑人男性发生了性关系。斯科茨伯勒男孩是南方强奸情结的无辜受害者,任何被指控强奸白人妇女的黑人男性都会被处以私刑。艾伦·费尔德曼(Ellen Feldman)的小说《斯科茨伯勒》(Scottsboro, 2008)的主角主要以两位进步的北方记者玛丽·希顿·沃斯(Mary Heaton Vorse)和霍勒斯·兰德尔(Hollace Ransdall)为原型,两人都调查了这起案件。她访问了阿拉巴马州,了解到那里复杂的种族、阶级和性别关系,以及她自己的偏见和阶级特权。像Ransdall和Vorse一样,她报道了这样一个事件:两个资本主义压迫的贫穷受害者从“白人垃圾”的水平上升到“被玷污”的白人女性的代表,而9个黑人青年中有8个被刻板地认为是过度性化和天生的罪犯,因为价值观的暴政而被判处死刑,而这些价值观在女孩们自己的生活中毫无意义。

CONSTRUING ACTS OF VOICING IN CHRISTINA DALCHER'S VOX THROUGH VULNERABILITY METAPHORS. 用脆弱隐喻解读克里斯蒂娜·达尔彻《vox》中的发声行为。
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.12795/ren.2022.i26.14
E. Anastasaki, Roula Kitsiou
In the digital era, and especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, where everyone’s digitally mediated voice can, potentially, reach the entire world, Dalcher’s dystopian novel, Vox, expresses a very real fear of being silenced. In modern America, 1 a purist movement voted into power has silenced all women and girls overnight. The novel investigates the intersection of physicality and the immateriality of spoken words. The narrator’s voice, sober but without restriction, contrasts sharply with the limitations imposed around her and uncovers the silent horror of a dystopian America where half the population has lost all rights of self -disposal, both physical and discursive. Employing the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson (2003), this study explores metaphors in Vox that shape discourse(s) on voicing vulnerability and on voice as visibility through an interdisciplinary discourse analysis that draws on the fields of literature and linguistics.
在数字时代,尤其是在第四次工业革命的背景下,每个人通过数字媒介发出的声音都有可能传播到整个世界,达尔彻的反乌托邦小说《Vox》表达了一种对被沉默的非常真实的恐惧。在现代美国,一个选举上台的纯粹主义运动一夜之间让所有妇女和女孩噤声。这部小说探讨了口语的物质性和非物质性的交集。叙述者的声音冷静但不受限制,与强加在她周围的限制形成鲜明对比,揭示了反乌托邦美国的无声恐怖,在那里,一半的人口失去了所有自我处置的权利,无论是身体上的还是话语上的。本研究采用Lakoff和Johnson(2003)的概念隐喻理论,通过文学和语言学领域的跨学科话语分析,探讨了Vox中塑造话语脆弱性和话语可见性的隐喻。

Narrating the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Transhumanism and Critical Posthumanism in Catherine Lacey's The Answers. 叙述第四次工业革命。凯瑟琳·莱西《答案》中的超人类主义与批判后人类主义。

María Abizanda Cardona
: Recent scientific breakthroughs under the wing of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly in the realm of biotechnology, have prompted an integral redefinition of the human, looking toward the posthuman state. Stances on this question range from the transhumanists ’ advocacy of overcoming biological limits, to the indexing of technoscientific advancement to an antihumanist and postanthropocentric project championed by critical posthumanism. These debates have been translated into speculative fiction works such as Catherine Lacey’ The Answers (2017). This novel revolves around the Girlfriend Experiment, a state -of-the-art research project aimed at taking the next step in our emotional evolution by eliminating the need for romantic relationships, bankrolled by a film industry mogul. This paper analyses the representation of human enhancement in the novel, arguing that the depiction of the material consequences of the experiment upon its research subjects amounts to a rejection of the unrestricted development of technology along transhumanist and neoliberal tenets. In this, The Answers offers a critical take on the Fourth Industrial Revolution aligned with the principles of critical posthumanism.
在第四次工业革命的推动下,最近的科学突破,特别是在生物技术领域,促使人们对人类进行了全面的重新定义,并展望了后人类状态。在这个问题上,从超人类主义者倡导克服生物极限,到对技术进步进行索引,再到批判后人类主义所倡导的反人道主义和后人类中心主义项目,立场不一。这些辩论已被翻译成投机小说作品,如凯瑟琳·莱西的《答案》(2017)。这部小说围绕着“女友实验”展开,这是一个由一位电影业大亨资助的最先进的研究项目,旨在通过消除对恋爱关系的需求,在我们的情感进化中迈出下一步。本文分析了小说中人类增强的表现,认为对实验对其研究对象的物质后果的描述相当于对技术沿着超人类主义和新自由主义原则的无限制发展的拒绝。在这方面,《答案》对第四次工业革命提出了一种批判性的看法,与批判性后人文主义的原则保持一致。

MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION IN A WORLD WITH NO REST NOR RELAXATION. NARRATIVE PROSTHESIS AND HYPERREALITY IN OTTESSA MOSHFEGH’S NOVEL. 在一个没有休息和放松的世界里,我休息和放松的一年。奥黛莎·莫什菲小说中的叙事假体与超现实性。

The representation of a form of disability in literature can be used not only as a way of distinguishing the character and setting the narration in motion but as a metaphor of social and individual collapse. Following this idea, I will focus on Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, a 2018 novel that narrates the experiences of a privileged woman in a context of growing aestheticism and its consequent loss of political meaning in the American society of the 90s. In it, I argue, the depression that she suffers from can be observed to work as the engine of the narration and the result of the emptiness derived from the current society of spectacle. I use David T. Mitchell’s and Sharon L. Snyder’s Narrative Prosthesis to delve into the role that the depression the main character suffers from plays in the novel and how she follows the pattern traditionally found in disability narratives. I also use Jean Baudrillard’s analysis of the current state of simulacra to explain her disabled experience.
在文学中,残疾的表现形式不仅可以作为区分人物和推动叙事的一种方式,而且可以作为社会和个人崩溃的隐喻。根据这个想法,我将把重点放在Ottessa Moshfegh的《My Year of Rest and Relaxation》上,这是一本2018年的小说,讲述了一个特权女性在90年代美国社会日益增长的唯美主义背景下的经历,以及由此导致的政治意义的丧失。在其中,我认为,她所遭受的抑郁可以被观察到作为叙事的引擎,也是当前景观社会所产生的空虚的结果。我使用David T. Mitchell和Sharon L. Snyder的《叙事义肢》来深入研究小说中主人公所遭受的抑郁症在小说中的作用,以及她如何遵循传统的残疾叙事模式。我也用让·鲍德里亚对拟像的现状的分析来解释她的残疾经历。

Hipsters are considered as one of the most relevant American subcultures at present. However, the term hipster is notoriously difficult to define and has not received sufficient academic attention, especially when referring to women. Thus, one of the main objectives of this interdisciplinary study is to reverse this situation by bringing to light information and bibliography about this prominent cultural phenomenon in the US context. To prove its importance, this theoretical aspect will be complemented by its practical implementation, as this essay includes the evaluation of the representation of the hipster in one of the main cultural products which have reflected it, television and, more concretely, in Lena Dunham’s TV series, Girls. This analysis responds to the aim of discerning if Girls’s alleged hipsterism can be considered authentic and of elucidating the reasons that may have led Dunham to this choice for the creation of her characters and, also, for her self-branding.
潮人被认为是当今美国最重要的亚文化之一。然而,“潮人”这个词是出了名的难以定义,也没有得到足够的学术关注,尤其是在指女性的时候。因此,这项跨学科研究的主要目标之一是通过揭示美国背景下这一突出文化现象的信息和参考书目来扭转这种情况。为了证明它的重要性,这一理论方面将辅以它的实际实施,因为这篇文章包括对反映它的主要文化产品之一,电视,更具体地说,在莉娜·杜汉姆的电视剧《女孩》中,潮人的表现的评估。这种分析的目的是为了辨别《都市女孩》所谓的“潮人主义”是否可以被认为是真实的,并阐明可能导致邓纳姆选择这种方式来创造她的角色,以及她的自我品牌。
