摘要

在欧里庇得斯的《安德罗马赫》中的一个关键时刻,主人公举起了她的手(περὶ χεῖρεβαλῦσα,115),并哀叹那些让她陷入绝望和绝望的损失。当Thetis出现在剧中的结尾时,她回应了Andromache的请求,并让她重新过上了婚姻和母亲的生活。然而,在她对雕像的拥抱中,安德罗马赫瞬间体现了另一种冲动:渴望与女神的石头形状融合,并停止迄今为止定义她的生活的婚姻流动和性繁殖模式。在这篇文章中,我认为我们应该把这种拥抱理解为“酷儿”——一种凡人女性和不朽女神之间的亲密接触时刻,它深深地扰乱了主导希腊艺术和文学的性秩序和生殖秩序模式。虽然这部剧的结尾是将安德罗马赫转向特洛伊木马的传播,但这一关键拥抱的奇怪潜力被特提斯本人所占据,她重新描述了自己与佩利厄斯的婚姻,既颠覆了性别化的运动模式,又拒绝了女性生育能力的价值化。因此,欧里庇得斯的《安德罗马赫》以恢复致命的性和生殖秩序为结尾,但通过安德罗马赫与特提斯的相遇,它也预示着贫瘠未来的怪异和惊人的自由。

Embracing Thetis in Euripides’ Andromache
At a crucial moment in Euripides’ Andromache, the title character throws her hands (περὶ χεῖρε βαλοῦσα, 115) around a statue of the goddess Thetis and laments the losses that have brought her to a point of desperation and despair. When Thetis appears at the end of the play, she answers Andromache’s pleas and grants her a renewed life of marriage and motherhood. Yet in her embrace of the statue, Andromache momentarily embodies an alternative impulse: a longing to merge with the stony form of the goddess and to cease from the patterns of nuptial mobility and sexual reproduction that have defined her life thus far. In this article, I argue that we should understand this embrace as “queer”—as a moment of intimate contact between mortal woman and immortal goddess that deeply unsettles the models of sexual and reproductive order that dominate Greek art and literature. While the play ends by redirecting Andromache toward the propagation of the Trojan line, the queer potential of that crucial embrace is taken up by Thetis herself, who re-scripts her own marriage to Peleus in a way that both inverts gendered patterns of movement and rejects the valorization of female fertility. Euripides’ Andromache thus concludes with the restoration of mortal sexual and reproductive order, yet through Andromache’s encounter with Thetis, it also gestures to the queer and startling freedom of a barren future.
