: This article studies Robert Crumb’s The Book of Genesis Illustrated (2009), an unabridged graphic novel of the first book of the Hebrew Bible that rankled critics anticipating that Crumb would invest the book’s ancient narratives with new, subversive meanings. For these detractors, Crumb’s Genesis Illustrated lacks the transgressive, rebellious qualities of his earlier comics. Contrary to this view, this essay uses Crumb’s storytelling involving Sarah to demonstrate how Crumb noticeably subverts Genesis’s androcentrism by adopting a feminist hermeneutics of suspicion that reveals a waning matriarchal priestess tradition implicit in the text and helps explain the confounding wife-sister and barren-mother motifs in Sarah’s story
:本文研究了罗伯特·克拉姆(Robert Crumb)的《创世纪之书图解》(The Book of Genesis Illustrated)(2009),这是一部未经删节的希伯来圣经第一本书的图画小说,激怒了评论家,他们认为克拉姆会将这本书的古老叙事赋予新的颠覆性意义。对于这些批评者来说,Crumb的《创世纪画报》缺乏他早期漫画中那种越轨、叛逆的品质。与这种观点相反,本文利用克拉姆讲述的涉及莎拉的故事来证明克拉姆是如何通过采用怀疑的女权主义解释学来明显颠覆《创世纪》的男性中心主义的,这揭示了文本中隐含的母系女祭司传统的衰落,并有助于解释莎拉故事中令人困惑的妻子姐妹和贫瘠母亲的主题
