Abstract: Ever since the British colonists blessed tiger hunting as the cardinal "royal" sport of the Haut monde , a surge of interest took place among the leisure class to travel to the British Raj in order to re-practice their ancestral fox hunting on foreign hunting grounds—this time with a more fearsome quarry. Since tigers were considered exotic and fierce creatures, overpowering these beasts secured a certain cachet for the victor, signifying his virility and manliness. As a result, the encounter between man and the tiger—both in the metaphoric and non-metaphoric sense—provided a literary trope for the twentieth-century writers who associated the animal with the erotic hunger of the male protagonists. By studying the traditional beliefs surrounding these mystical creatures, the present article reads some of the notable literary fictions of the twentieth century that use the tiger as a central animal motif— The Beast in the Jungle (1903), Death in Venice (1912), and The Remains of the Day (1989)—in light of each other.
摘要:自从英国殖民者将猎虎作为“上世界”的主要“皇家”运动以来,有闲阶层中掀起了一股兴趣,他们前往英国统治时期,在外国的狩猎场重新练习他们祖先的猎狐活动——这次是用更可怕的猎物。由于老虎被认为是外来的凶猛动物,打败这些野兽为胜利者赢得了一定的荣誉,象征着他的阳刚和男子气概。因此,人与老虎的相遇——无论是隐喻的还是非隐喻的——为20世纪的作家提供了一种文学修辞,他们把动物与男主人公的性欲饥饿联系在一起。通过研究围绕这些神秘生物的传统信仰,本文阅读了20世纪一些以老虎为中心主题的著名文学小说——《丛林中的野兽》(1903年)、《威尼斯之死》(1912年)和《白天的遗迹》(1989年)。

Abstract: Karalyn Kendall-Morwick's Canis Modernis examines dog stories in Anglo-American modernism. Drawing together animal studies, modernist studies, and posthumanist theory, the book argues for an understanding of the human/dog relationship as a case of (two-way) coevolution, not merely (one-way) domestication. Ranging over an array of literary texts including Jack London's Call of the Wild , Virginia Woolf's Flush , J.R. Ackerley's My Dog Tulip , and Samuel Beckett's Three Novels, Canis Modernis finds a sustained concern with dogs' evolution, from early origins to modern breeding practices, in modernist literature. It also shows how encounters with dogs reshaped modernist understandings of the human and of humanist ethics.
摘要:Karalyn Kendall-Morwick的《现代犬》考察了英美现代主义中的狗故事。本书将动物研究、现代主义研究和后人类主义理论结合在一起,主张将人与狗的关系理解为(双向)共同进化的案例,而不仅仅是(单向)驯化。《现代犬》涵盖了杰克·伦敦的《野性的呼唤》、弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《同花同花》、J.R.阿克利的《我的狗郁金香》和塞缪尔·贝克特的《三部小说》等一系列文学文本,在现代主义文学中,《现代犬》发现了对狗的进化的持续关注,从早期起源到现代育种实践。它还展示了与狗的相遇如何重塑了现代主义者对人类和人文主义伦理的理解。

Animality and the Limits of Discourse in Djuna Barnes and Georges Bataille 巴塔耶与巴塔耶的动物性与话语的局限

Abstract: In the works of Djuna Barnes, and particularly the enigmatic final paragraphs of Nightwood , animals and animalistic qualities represent the terminal incapacity of language to encompass reality. Georges Bataille's concept of "animality," considered as a comparative heuristic, allows for a more coherent articulation of the theoretical underpinnings and implications of this presentation of the animal as a limit to the logical, sequential ordering of coherent meaning through language, or what Bataille refers to in shorthand as "discourse." Ultimately, Bataille theorizes and Barnes embodies an animal poetics that gives expression to that which is not strictly amenable to human sense, and both mark the literary as the site where it becomes possible to gesture beyond the human toward a mode of bestial expression that emerges from the breakdown of human signification.
摘要:在朱娜·巴恩斯的作品中,尤其是在《夜伍德》神秘的最后段落中,动物和动物的特质代表了语言对现实的终极无能。乔治·巴塔耶(Georges Bataille)的“动物性”概念被认为是一种比较启发式,它允许更连贯地表达动物的理论基础和含义,作为逻辑的限制,通过语言对连贯的意义进行顺序排序,或者巴塔耶用速记法称为“话语”。最终,巴塔耶理论化了,巴恩斯具体化了一种动物诗学,这种诗学表达了不严格符合人类感官的东西,两者都标志着文学成为可能的场所,在这里,超越人类的姿态,走向一种从人类意义的崩溃中出现的兽性表达模式。

Imagining Justice for Sentient Lives 为有知觉的生命想象正义
3区 文学 0 LITERATURE Pub Date : 2023-06-01 DOI: 10.2979/jmodelite.46.4.11
Abstract: In Literary Bioethics: Animality, Disability, and the Human , Maren Tova Linett posits literary fiction as uniquely valuable terrain for bioethical inquiry. By depicting phenomena like animality, disability, and aging in richly imagined worlds, she argues, literary narratives can promote more nuanced engagement with bioethical questions than do the sparse and decontextualized thought experiments commonly employed in philosophical bioethics. Linett reads several novels written across the long twentieth century as literary-philosophical laboratories for testing bioethical claims about the value of different kinds of lives, demonstrating the importance of literary ways of knowing for bioethics. In doing so, she also makes a compelling case for allying animal studies and disability studies, fields that have historically found themselves at odds but that together have much to say about how we can achieve justice for sentient lives of all kinds.
摘要:在《文学生命伦理学:动物、残疾和人类》一书中,玛伦·托娃·利内特将文学小说作为生命伦理学研究的独特的有价值的领域。她认为,通过在丰富的想象世界中描绘动物、残疾和衰老等现象,文学叙事可以促进对生物伦理学问题的更细致入微的参与,而不是哲学生物伦理学中通常采用的稀疏和非情境化的思想实验。Linett读了几本跨越二十世纪的小说,作为文学哲学的实验室,用来测试关于不同生命价值的生物伦理学主张,展示了文学方式对生物伦理学的重要性。在这样做的过程中,她还提出了一个令人信服的理由,将动物研究和残疾研究结合起来,这两个领域在历史上一直存在争议,但它们结合在一起,对我们如何为各种有知觉的生命伸张正义有很多启示。

"Everyone chooses their love after their own fashion": The Waves as a Modernist Symposium “每个人都以自己的方式选择自己的爱情”:作为现代主义者的波涛

Abstract:In A Room of One's Own, when Virginia Woolf urges women writers to expose the "dark spots" in men's psychology, she signals her own intentions for The Waves. In The Waves, Woolf targets men's masculinity, elite educations, brutalized boyhoods (at public schools), and their too-easy belonging to literary traditions as causes of male writers' truncated creativity. Louis, Bernard, and Neville exhibit the writerly disabilities Woolf associates with virility in Room. They are also linked to T.S. Eliot, Desmond MacCarthy, and Lytton Strachey, and to modernist experimentalism, realism, and homosexual Hellenism, respectively. In The Waves, Woolf differentiates her aesthetics not only from the "materialists"—H.G. Wells, John Galsworthy, and Arnold Bennett—but her Georgian "allies" as well—Eliot, MacCarthy, and Strachey prominent among them.
摘要:在《一间自己的房间》中,弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫敦促女性作家揭露男性心理中的“黑点”,她在《海浪》中表达了自己的意图。在《浪潮》中,伍尔夫把男性的阳刚之气、精英教育、残酷的童年(在公立学校)以及他们太容易归属于文学传统作为男性作家创造力被截断的原因。路易斯、伯纳德和内维尔表现出了伍尔夫在《房间》中与男子气概联系在一起的写作上的残疾。他们还分别与T.S.艾略特、德斯蒙德·麦卡锡和利顿·斯特雷奇以及现代主义实验主义、现实主义和同性恋希腊主义联系在一起。在《海浪》中,伍尔夫不仅将自己的美学与“唯物主义者”区分开来。威尔斯、约翰·高尔斯华绥和阿诺德·班尼特——还有她的格鲁吉亚“盟友”——艾略特、麦卡锡和斯特雷奇是其中最突出的。

The Invisible Flesh: Mimesis in Jean Genet's The Maids 看不见的肉体:让·热内《女仆》中的模仿

Abstract: Luce Irigaray's mimesis theory is here pushed further by expanding her concept of phallocentric culture, which leads us to consider various figures of authority represented in Jean Genet's play The Maids (1947). In The Maids , characters step into the skin of their victimizers to display their invisible occluded emotions on one hand, and on the other, the hegemonic discourse of their oppressors, or what I call "phallocentric cultures." The two main characters, Claire and Solange, show why their constructed images impersonating their Madame fail to fulfill their dreams of stepping out of their own milieu. I analyze their subjectivity in connection with Genet's desire to undermine the ruling social system.
摘要:卢斯·伊里加雷的模仿理论在此得到了进一步的推进,她扩展了她的生殖器中心文化概念,这使我们能够考虑让·热内戏剧《女仆》(1947)中所代表的各种权威人物。在《少女》中,角色们穿上了受害者的外衣,一方面展示了他们看不见的压抑情绪,另一方面,展示了他们压迫者的霸权话语,或者我所说的“阴茎中心文化”。两位主角,克莱尔和索兰吉,展示了为什么他们构建的形象模仿他们的夫人未能实现他们走出自己的环境的梦想。我将他们的主体性与热内破坏统治社会体系的愿望联系起来分析。

The Life-Giving Efficacy of Beauty and Desire in Stoppard's Drama 斯托帕德戏剧中美与欲望的赋予生命的功效

Abstract: In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1967), Arcadia (1993), and Indian Ink (1995), the playwright Tom Stoppard poses existential questions about the inevitability of both cosmic and individual disintegration and death. However, as characters from Arcadia and Indian Ink engage in romantic encounters and acts of aesthetic creation driven by desire, they interrupt the cyclical inevitability of death embodied in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead , and they oppose entropic disintegration by instigating encounters with beauty and desire that lead to reconciliation over time. This generative impulse of love and desire parallels Elaine Scarry's assertion in On Beauty and Being Just that encounters with beauty and desire are fundamentally life-giving.
摘要:在《罗森克兰茨和吉尔登斯特恩已死》(1967)、《阿卡迪亚》(1993)和《印度墨水》(1995)中,剧作家汤姆·斯托帕德对宇宙和个人解体和死亡的必然性提出了存在主义问题。然而,当《阿卡迪亚》和《印度墨水》中的人物在欲望的驱使下进行浪漫的邂逅和审美创造时,他们打断了《罗森克兰茨》和《吉尔登斯特恩是死的》中所体现的死亡的周期性必然性,他们通过与美和欲望的相遇来反对熵的瓦解,这种相遇导致了时间的和解。这种爱与欲望的生发冲动与伊莱恩·斯卡里在《论美与存在》中的主张相呼应,即与美和欲望的相遇从根本上赋予了生命。

"I Look Straight into His Eyes … For the Last Time": Intimacy and Indifference in Jean Rhys's Good Morning, Midnight “我最后一次直视他的眼睛”:简·里斯的《早安,午夜》中的亲密与冷漠

Abstract: There are many unsettling encounters within Jean Rhys's novels, but perhaps the most difficult for readers is Sasha Jansen's final intimate act in Good Morning, Midnight . The novel depicts Sasha's lost subjectivity through moments of sexual intimacy, ultimately demonstrating how she cultivates a sense of indifference to prescriptive femininity by rebelling against the stratified anxiousness that has haunted her position as a precarious woman in society. The final scene between Sasha and her neighbour, the "commis voyager," is often read as a dark mimicking of James Joyce's Molly Bloom in Ulysses , with Sasha's intimate affirmation of "yes—yes—yes …" as a mode of self-annihilation. Missing from these readings is a consideration of Sasha's encounter with herself, as she stares "straight into [the commis's] eyes" to see a vision of herself reflected there, one that recuperates her split subjectivity and solidifies her indifference to normative rhythms of life.
摘要:简·里斯的小说中有许多令人不安的遭遇,但也许最让读者难以忘怀的是《早安,午夜》中萨沙·詹森最后的亲密行为。小说通过性亲密的时刻描绘了萨沙失去的主体性,最终展示了她如何通过反抗困扰她作为一个不稳定的社会女性的地位的分层焦虑,培养一种对规范的女性气质的漠不关心。萨沙和她的邻居——“共产主义者的旅行者”之间的最后一幕,经常被解读为对詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce)在《尤利西斯》(Ulysses)中饰演的莫莉·布鲁姆(Molly Bloom)的黑暗模仿,萨沙亲密地肯定了“是的,是的,是的……”,这是一种自我毁灭的方式。这些解读没有考虑到萨沙与自己的相遇,因为她“直视(共产党人)的眼睛”,看到自己在那里的倒影,这种倒影恢复了她分裂的主体性,巩固了她对规范生活节奏的冷漠。

Abstract: Alice Childress's Wedding Band (1966), set in an unnamed Black South Carolina community in 1918, dwells upon Julia's loneliness, caused by her interracial love, which is forbidden by the state's law against miscegenation. Julia's anxiety about being transgressive fosters her desire to belong to a community characterized by Black women's culture and their sense of place. Her quest for a place in society highlights the segregated community's need for a specifically Black space. Wedding Band complicates the interlocking system of oppression by addressing the notion of place and also demonstrates that Black women are not passive in respect to their surroundings.
摘要:《爱丽丝·蔡尔德里斯的婚礼乐队》(1966)以1918年南卡罗来纳州一个无名黑人社区为背景,讲述了朱莉娅因种族间的爱情而产生的孤独,而该州的法律禁止种族通婚。茱莉亚对越界的焦虑促使她渴望属于一个以黑人女性文化和她们的地方感为特征的社区。她对社会地位的追求凸显了种族隔离社区对黑人专属空间的需求。《婚礼乐队》通过处理地方的概念使压迫的连锁系统复杂化也证明了黑人女性在对待周围环境时不是被动的。

Abstract: In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1967), Arcadia (1993), and Indian Ink (1995), the playwright Tom Stoppard poses existential questions about the inevitability of both cosmic and individual disintegration and death. However, as characters from Arcadia and Indian Ink engage in romantic encounters and acts of aesthetic creation driven by desire, they interrupt the cyclical inevitability of death embodied in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead , and they oppose entropic disintegration by instigating encounters with beauty and desire that lead to reconciliation over time. This generative impulse of love and desire parallels Elaine Scarry's assertion in On Beauty and Being Just that encounters with beauty and desire are fundamentally life-giving.
摘要:在《罗森克兰茨和吉尔登斯特恩已死》(1967)、《阿卡迪亚》(1993)和《印度墨水》(1995)中,剧作家汤姆·斯托帕德对宇宙和个人解体和死亡的必然性提出了存在主义问题。然而,当《阿卡迪亚》和《印度墨水》中的人物在欲望的驱使下进行浪漫的邂逅和审美创造时,他们打断了《罗森克兰茨》和《吉尔登斯特恩是死的》中所体现的死亡的周期性必然性,他们通过与美和欲望的相遇来反对熵的瓦解,这种相遇导致了时间的和解。这种爱与欲望的生发冲动与伊莱恩·斯卡里在《论美与存在》中的主张相呼应,即与美和欲望的相遇从根本上赋予了生命。
