This article responds to the critical debate around Jennifer Kent’s horror movie, The Babadook (2014), by offering an analysis that moves beyond its use of generic codes and its sociopolitical representation of maternity. It contends that reading the film as a trauma narrative allows us to better understand the horrifying experience suffered by Amelia Vanek (Essie Davis): her husband’s premature death in a car accident. Taking Dominick LaCapra’s concepts of acting out and working through as key interpretive tools, the analysis demonstrates how Kent conveys posttraumatic stress disorder as both a visceral and a material experience, inscribing absence and loss onto the cinematic texture of the film. The article offers the conclusion that, as The Babadook enacts Amelia’s process of recuperation, figured as a psychosomatic struggle against her monstrous Other, she becomes able to express her trauma and, in doing so, is finally able to accept her husband’s death.Keywords: Babadook; horror; cinema; loss; posttraumatic stress disorder; monstrosity
本文对围绕詹妮弗·肯特(Jennifer Kent)的恐怖电影《巴巴杜》(the Babadook, 2014)的批评性辩论做出回应,提供了一种超越一般代码使用和母性的社会政治表现的分析。它认为,将这部电影视为一种创伤叙事,可以让我们更好地理解阿米莉亚·瓦内克(艾西·戴维斯饰)所遭受的可怕经历:她的丈夫在一场车祸中过早死亡。以多米尼克·拉卡普拉(Dominick LaCapra)的表演和工作概念为主要解释工具,分析展示了肯特是如何将创伤后应激障碍作为一种内在和物质的体验来传达的,将缺失和失落刻入电影的电影质感中。这篇文章的结论是,《巴巴杜克》讲述了阿米莉亚的康复过程,把她描绘成与她那可怕的他者进行的身心斗争,她开始能够表达她的创伤,并最终能够接受她丈夫的死亡。关键词:Babadook;恐怖的;电影;损失;创伤后应激障碍;怪物

Female Cycling and the Discourse of Moral Panic in Late Victorian Britain 维多利亚晚期英国女性骑行与道德恐慌话语

This article discusses the role of cycling in women’s emancipation in late Victorian Britain and explores the attitudes of the middle-class public to women’s pursuit of this recreational activity. The unique combination of healthy physical exercise, unrestrained mobility and sporting excitement that the bicycle offered elevated cycling into one of the epoch’s most popular leisure activities. For women, the bicycle became an important instrument to break away from the constraints of the androcentric paternalistic culture that stereotyped them and cast them in the passive role of the angel in the house . The immense popularity of bicycling with middle- and upper-class women and the inevitable changes in patterns of female leisure, clothing and normative behaviour it involved, caused strong reaction from the bourgeois establishment. An analysis of opinions published in the British press at the time reveals a discourse marked by anxiety that cycling might become an avenue for women to claim more independence for themselves and even subvert the established social framework based on power relations and a clear delineation of gender roles. Keywords: women; cycling; late Victorian period; gender roles; press; prejudice
本文探讨了自行车运动在维多利亚晚期英国妇女解放运动中的作用,并探讨了中产阶级公众对妇女追求这项娱乐活动的态度。自行车独特地结合了健康的体育锻炼,不受限制的机动性和运动兴奋,将自行车提升为时代最受欢迎的休闲活动之一。对于女性来说,自行车成为了一种重要的工具,使她们摆脱了以男性为中心的家长式文化的束缚,这种文化把她们定型为家中被动的天使。骑自行车在中产阶级和上流社会的女性中非常流行,而且它所涉及的女性休闲、服装和规范行为模式不可避免地发生了变化,这引起了资产阶级建制派的强烈反应。对当时英国媒体发表的观点进行分析,可以发现一种以焦虑为特征的话语,即骑自行车可能成为女性争取更多独立的途径,甚至颠覆基于权力关系和性别角色明确界定的既定社会框架。关键词:女性;骑自行车;维多利亚晚期;性别角色;出版社;偏见

espanolEste articulo analiza la voz narrativa y la presencia de elementos metatextuales y metaficcionales en las novelas de la saga Harry Potter (1997-2007), de J. K.

Mientras que se ha hablado mucho de los siete libros que componen la saga, los libros complementarios que pretenden ser los mismos que los protagonistas leen en las novelas—Animales fantasticos y donde encontrarlos (2001), Quidditch a traves de los tiempos (2001) y Cuentos de Beedle el Bardo—no han atraido el mismo nivel de atencion por parte de los criticos. Sin embargo, estos y otros ejemplos de narrativas metadiegeticas nos permiten entender mejor la representacion de la relacion entre texto y lector, adulto y nino, a lo largo de la saga. Mediante el analisis de la voz narrativa y la metaficcion, argumento que, a pesar de que la historia que se cuenta es a veces oscura y perturbadora, la autora le otorga un marco narrativo que proporciona acompanamiento y seguridad a los lectores, ademas de una reflexion sobre la importancia de la literatura infantil y del arte de contar historias. Asi pues, la metaficcion aporta complejidad a la obra de Rowling y desafia al lector a viajar entre los diferentes niveles de la narracion y a reflexionar sobre el acto de leer. EnglishThis article sets out to examine narrative voice in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (1997- 2007) as well as the presence of metatextual and metafictional elements in her novels. Special attention will be paid to Tom Riddle’s diary, which first appears in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998), and the book of fairy tales and companion to the series, The Tales of Beedle the Bard (2007). While Rowling’s seven-book series has been extensively discussed, the companion books that purport to be the books that the main characters read in the novels—Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001), Quidditch Through the Ages (2001) and The Tales of Beedle the Bard—have not received the same amount of critical attention. Yet these and other examples of metadiegetic narratives provide thought-provoking insights into the series’s commentary on the relationship between texts and readers, adults and children. Through a careful examination of Rowling’s narrative voice and her use of metafiction, I argue that the author gives her sometimes dark, disturbing story a narrative frame that not only provides the reader with consolation and reassurance, but also offers a commentary on the importance of storytelling and children’s literature. Metafiction thus makes Rowling’s work more complex than we might assume, challenging its readers to navigate through different narrative levels and reflect on the very act of reading.

Las conclusiones reflejan el caracter sincronico-diacronico de las alternancias. En el eje sincronico, las alternancias representan un fenomeno relativamente generalizado que afecta a todas las clases de verbos fuertes y debiles; mientras que en el eje diacronico las alternancias permiten medir el progreso del cambio de la morfologia de base variable a la morfologia de base invariable.

Alternations are quantified and related to i-mutation and word-formation processes by distinguishing direct from reverse alternations and alternations with a strong verb source from alternations with a weak verb target. The conclusions reflect the synchronic-diachronic character of alternations.

This article approaches science fiction using the strategically powerful perspectives of Trauma Studies and the posthuman in conjunction with Foucault’s notion of biopower, paying special attention to the deep investment of these discourses in notions of embodiment and agency. In order to do so, I will consider Octavia Butler’s 1984 short story “Bloodchild” (Hugo and Nebula Awards) and James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice Sheldon)’s 1973 novella “The Girl Who Was Plugged In” (Hugo Award). Both stories explore dystopian futures—in their focus on coercive extraterrestrials and life on an inhospitable planet, on the one hand, and on oppressive consumer culture and corporate technoscience, on the other—and point back to our posthuman present through metaphoric characters that illustrate and invite comment upon the articulation of power and the construction of the embodied posthuman. The main issue at play in the two stories, I will contend, is the identification of biopower with the traumatic appropriation of the human body and the articulation of posthuman forms of resistance to it. Keywords: trauma; the posthuman; biopower; science fiction; James Tiptree, Jr.; Octavia Butler
本文结合福柯的生物权力概念,运用创伤研究和后人类的强大战略视角来研究科幻小说,特别关注这些话语在化身和代理概念上的深刻投入。为了做到这一点,我将考虑奥克塔维亚·巴特勒1984年的短篇小说《血童》(雨果奖和星云奖)和小詹姆斯·蒂普特里(爱丽丝·谢尔登)1973年的中篇小说《插电的女孩》(雨果奖)。这两个故事都探索了反乌托邦的未来——它们一方面关注强制性的外星人和一个不适宜居住的星球上的生命,另一方面关注压迫性的消费文化和企业技术科学——并通过隐喻性的人物来说明和评论权力的表达和体现后人类的构建,从而指向我们的后人类。我认为,这两个故事的主要问题是,将生物权力与对人体的创伤性占有以及对它的后人类形式的抵制联系起来。关键词:创伤;新人类;生物动力;科幻小说;小詹姆斯·蒂普特里;奥克塔维亚巴特勒

The Storyteller’s "Nostos": Recreating Scheherazade and Odysseus in Kazuo Ishiguro’s "Never Let Me Go" 说书人的“诺斯托斯”:石黑一雄《别让我走》中山鲁佐德和奥德修斯的再现

This article studies the account of Kathy H., protagonist of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005), as the confluence of narratives through which an individual and her community construct their identity based on the remembrance of the events that have marked their lives, as well as on the literary texts and cultural conventions that have served as the archetypes upon which the narratives of their lives are built. Two paradigmatic figures stand out in Kathy’s story: Odysseus, the lost seafarer endeavouring to return home, and Scheherazade, the artful storyteller of the Arabian Nights. From this perspective, Kathy’s recollection constitutes her attempt to return to the mythic place that Hailsham has come to represent for clones that, unable to be carried out on physical terms, induces her to find alternative means to recover it through memory and storytelling. As a result, she constitutes a replication of Scheherazade, adapting this figure to her dystopian and postcolonial context in a narration that explores the interplay between memory, fiction and identity. Keywords: Kazuo Ishiguro; Scheherazade; Ulysses; storytelling; un-belonging; memory
本文研究了石黑一雄的《别让我走》(2005)的主人公凯西·H的叙述,作为叙述的合流,通过这种合流,个人和她的社区基于对标志着他们生活的事件的记忆,以及作为他们生活叙事原型的文学文本和文化习俗来构建他们的身份。凯西的故事中有两个典型的人物:奥德修斯,一个是努力回家的迷失的海员,另一个是谢赫拉扎德,《一千零一夜》中狡猾的说书人。从这个角度来看,凯西的回忆构成了她试图回到海尔舍姆所代表的神话之地的尝试,因为无法在物理条件下进行克隆,促使她通过记忆和讲故事来寻找其他方法来恢复它。因此,她复制了谢赫拉扎德,将这个人物融入她的反乌托邦和后殖民背景,在叙述中探索记忆、虚构和身份之间的相互作用。关键词:石黑一雄;谢赫拉莎德;《尤利西斯》;讲故事;un-belonging;内存
