我们到了没——“交叉路口”的女性主义叙事学的未来

Are We There Yet? The Intersectional Future of Feminist Narratology

我们现在已经抵达女性主义叙事学的转折点,在这里,女性主义可以再一次为叙事研究孕育新方法,同时叙事研究对拓展女性主义思想也更显重要。"交叉路口"的女性主义可以与跨越时空的叙事模式互为映照,从而创造出一种叙事学。它既是历史的和跨文化的,也是形式和理论的,因此使我们得以将(叙事的)形式读成(性别化的)内容。"影子情节"(negative plotting)这个概念有助于我们通过叙事的一个重要侧面来梳理不同文化或不同时期的作者和读者的(性别化)策略。然而,改变女性主义叙事学需要不同领域的国际团体合作与参与方能成功。

Indeed,we have now reached a turning point for changing feminist narratologies,a point at which feminism can once again foster new approaches to the study of narrative while also expanding the significance of narrative inquiry for feminist thought.＂Intersectional＂ feminism can map and be mapped by narrative patterns across time and space,creating a narratology that is historical and cross-cultural as much as it is formal and theoretical and that,in consequence,will enable us to read（narrative） form as（gendered） content.By way of illustration,a concept of ＂negative plotting＂ will be proposed that can help us to track through one key aspect of narrative the（gendered） strategies of writers and readers across cultures and periods.The author will conclude,however,by suggesting that changing feminist narratologies will ultimately require the collaborative participation of an international community working on multidimensional fronts.
