摘要

本文通过代理现实主义的镜头,通过女科学家比莉·克鲁索和人性化的雪洛博特·斯派克之间的双重浪漫邂逅,审视了温特森乌托邦所唤起的后人文主义关系主体性的神秘感。这种跨越两个不同时空的同性跨物种未来主义爱情成功地模糊了人类和机器之间的界限,从而促使读者克服他们以人类为中心的世界观,在后人类转向带来的去中心化过程结束时,放弃对人类命运的道德和认知影响的深刻而狭隘的关注,敦促他们考虑更重要、更广泛的问题,如问责和责任。因此,它可以被视为一个虚构的叙事化身,体现了Karen Barad将物质性重新配置为话语性,将表演性重新配置为由约束迭代内部行动而非决定互动的动态过程。

An Agential Realist Approach to Posthumanist Relational Subjectivity in Jeanette Winterson’s "The Stone Gods"
This paper examines, through the lenses of agential realism, the uncanny sense of posthumanist relational subjectivity that Winterson’s utopia evokes through the twofold romantic encounter between female scientist Billie Crusoe and humanized sherobot Spike. This same-sex cross-species futuristic love affair that develops across two different space-times succeeds in blurring the boundaries between humans and machines, thus prompting readers to overcome their anthropocentric worldview and to abandon the deep yet narrow concern for the moral and cognitive implications of the humans’ fate at the end of the de-centring process brought about by the posthuman turn, urging them to consider, instead, more significant and wider issues such as accountability and responsibility. Thus, it can be viewed as a fictional narrative embodiment of Karen Barad’s theoretical reconfiguration of materiality as discursive and of performativity as a dynamic process of constraining iterative intra-actions rather than of determining interactions.
