摘要

摘要:本文分析了玛姬-尼尔森的《蓝调》(Bluets,2009年),将其作为一个突出的例子,说明痛苦和失落的经历可能导致零碎的叙述。我证明了尼尔森对她痴迷的蓝色、她的心碎以及她四肢瘫痪的朋友的慢性疼痛的不同反思,是如何抵制在这些经历上叠加目的论情节,而倾向于情节性阅读和零星的未知。尽管如此,文本的自小说性质--作者的霸道和难以捉摸的存在--还是对任何天真的情感投入提出了挑战。最后,我将重点放在纳尔逊对她四肢瘫痪的朋友的慢性疼痛经历的叙述上,强调《蓝ets》如何呼吁人们重新考虑读者对痛苦描述的立场,以及将疾病叙述简单化为生命书写的批判方法。

Authoring Pain: Fragmentation and Autofiction in Maggie Nelson's Bluets

Abstract:

This article analyzes Maggie Nelson's Bluets (2009) as a prominent example of the fragmentary narration that can result from the experience of pain and loss. I demonstrate how Nelson's disparate ruminations on her obsession for the color blue, her heartbreak, and her quadriplegic friend's chronic pain defy the superimposition of a teleological plot over these experiences, in favor of episodic reading and sporadic not-knowing. Still, the autofictional nature of the text—with its alternatively overbearing and elusive authorial presence—challenges any naïve emotional investment in it. Focusing on Nelson's narration of her quadriplegic friend's experience of chronic pain, I conclude by highlighting how Bluets calls for a reconsideration of the reader's stance vis-à-vis the description of suffering, as well as of simplistic critical approaches to illness narratives as life-writing.
