摘要

当代极受欢迎的电视警察程序类型以一位才华横溢的女侦探为主角,反映并具体化了我们这个时代文化幻想和社会习俗中根深蒂固的厌女信仰和态度。在她目前的形式中,这些系列中典型的女主角坚持一种僵化、刻板的提法,这限制了她建立成熟、健康的对象关系的能力。特别是,她对工作的独特投入严重损害了她的母性功能:因此,她要么是一个不称职的母亲,要么是一位糟糕的伴侣、姐姐或女儿。此外,她的职业卓越本身就是病态的,因为使她与众不同的品质通常归因于精神疾病或情绪不稳定这一典型的厌女症比喻。希腊关于雅典娜诞生的神话阐述了这位才华横溢的女侦探所体现的威胁,她作为全能、无所不知的母亲的幼稚幻想的复兴,侵犯了心灵的生成能力:自古以来,男人们就声称拥有这片领土,以防嫉妒女性的生育能力。作为回报,她必须被剥夺她独特的女性力量,“有思想的女性的诅咒”

The curse of the thinking woman: Encoded misogyny in the brilliant female detective

The enormously popular contemporary genre of televised police procedurals that feature a brilliant female detective reflects and reifies enduring misogynistic beliefs and attitudes that pervade the cultural fantasies and social mores of our time. In her current form, the prototypical female protagonist of these series adheres to a rigid, stereotypical formulation that limits her capacity for mature, healthy object relations. In particular, her singular devotion to her work badly compromises her maternal function: thus, she is either barren or a bad mother, as well as a bad partner, sister, or daughter. Moreover, her professional excellence is itself pathologized, as the very qualities that make her extraordinary are typically attributable to the quintessential misogynistic trope of mental illness or emotional instability. The Greek myth of the birth of Athena explicates the threat embodied by the brilliant female detective, who, as a revival of the infantile fantasy of the all-powerful, all-knowing mother, infringes on the generative capacity of the mind: territory that men have since antiquity claimed in order to guard against envy of female procreative power. In return, she must be divested of her uniquely female powers, “the curse of the thinking woman.”
