摘要

乔治·桑19世纪30年代的女权主义小说似乎经常与性有“问题”,或者将性视为一个问题。在这些作品中,异性性行为往往显得不利于女性,因此在政治上不受欢迎;更糟糕的是,异性恋的欲望本身从一开始就以父权约束为标志,以女性的(自我)物化和臣服为基础。这篇文章对桑德的早期小说进行了推测性的解读,预计在20世纪后期的女权主义(所谓的20世纪80年代的反色情女权主义)中会出现类似的“反性”态度,并通过对印第安纳州、莫普拉特和lsamulia的时刻的仔细阅读,来反思在“我也是”运动之后,这种女权主义在“性战争”中提出的伦理问题的重新紧迫。如果说归根结底,桑德并不是一个反性的女权主义者,但她的小说在对性和欲望进行政治或道德动机改革的可能性的怀疑或悲观的现实主义方面仍然发人深省。

George Sand, Antisex Feminist
George Sand's feminist novels of the 1830s often seem to have a “problem” with sex, or to view sex as a problem. In them, heterosexual sex often appears disempowering for women and therefore politically unpalatable; worse, heterosexual desire itself emerges as primordially marked by patriarchal constraints, predicated on the (self-)objectification and subjection of women. This article offers a speculative reading of Sand's early fictions as anticipating similar “antisex” attitudes in later twentieth-century feminism (the so-called antipornography feminism of the 1980s), and uses close readings of moments in Indiana, Mauprat, and Lélia to reflect on the renewed urgency—in the wake of #MeToo—of the sort of ethical questions raised by such feminism during the “sex wars.” If Sand is not, ultimately, an antisex feminist, her novels are nevertheless thought-provoking in their skepticism, or their pessimistic realism, about the possibility of a politically or ethically motivated reform of sex and desire.
