摘要

托马斯·品钦的《内在罪恶》的几位评论家和学者指出，这部小说与雷蒙德·钱德勒的菲利普·马洛小说和科恩兄弟的电影《大勒博夫斯基》有相似之处。尤其是许多评论家，对Doc Sportello的男子气概不置可否，批评Doc没有表现出侦探小说和电影中典型的霸权男子气概。缺少的是在小说及其可能的原始材料中对霸权男子气概进行更深入的考察。本文运用朱迪斯·巴特勒对性别表演性的概念，以及克里斯蒂安·莫拉鲁对后现代重写的审视，探讨了《漫长的再见》、《大勒博夫斯基》和《内在的罪恶》中男性气质的流动结构和表现。最终，这篇文章认为，品钦对Doc Sportello的刻画为霸权男子气概的替代方案提供了可能性。

Doc, the Dude, and Marlowe: Changing Masculinities from The Long Goodbye to Inherent Vice

Several reviewers and scholars of Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice have noted the similarities between the novel and both Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe novels and the Coen brothers' film The Big Lebowski. Many of the reviewers, in particular, unreflectively comment on Doc Sportello's masculinity, criticizing Doc for not performing the hegemonic masculinity typical of detective novels and films. What has been missing is a deeper examination of hegemonic masculinity in both the novel and its likely source materials. This essay employs Judith Butler's notions of gender performativity as well as Christian Moraru's examination of postmodern rewriting to explore the fluid constructions and performances of masculinity in The Long Goodbye, The Big Lebowski, and Inherent Vice. Ultimately, this essay argues that Pynchon's characterization of Doc Sportello projects possibilities into alternatives to hegemonic masculinity.
