温特森《激情》的跨文类实践与性别越界

当代英国著名作家温特森在《激情》中以拿破仑政权的兴衰为历史背景,把象征主义、寓言讽喻和丰富的视觉意象结合在一起,编织了一个充满异国情调而富于幻想的故事.小说通过线性历史叙述与幻想故事两种叙事模式的交替、男性气质和女性气质的后现代式重写、酷儿身体的乌托邦塑造,戏谑了历史叙事,书写了多元流动的女性欲望,揭示了温特森跨越男/女、异性恋/同性恋的疆界藩篱的酷儿意识.

Cross-genre Practice and Gender-crossing in Winterson's The Passion

Contemporary British writer Jeanette Winterson's novel The Passion, setting the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonapante as its historic background, is an exotic fantasy with allogoric and symbolic images.The novel focuses on the two apparently opposed genres, the historical and the fantastic, to tell the story that both exposes history as discursive construct and provides an alternative fantastic discourse for the representation of women's fluid and multiple desire.Her postmodern rewriting of masculinity and femininity and the utopia representation of sexual body as queer demonstrate Winterson's queer desire of crossing the limits of masculine/feminine, heterosexual/homosexual binary opposition.
