安提戈涅与女性主义伦理

Antigone and Feminist Ethics

克洛德·列维-施特劳斯在其对神话和图腾崇拜的结构主义研究中强调:由于神话"有助于思考",因此它也是文化的中心,《安提戈涅》就是一例。当代女性主义对《安提戈涅》的解读可以说是"后学"思潮中最具批判精神的文化理论界说之一。思想家露西·伊利格瑞和朱迪斯·巴特勒围绕"安提戈涅不幸的生和抵抗的死"的阐释使得安提戈涅不只是悲剧经典人物,而是建构新的两性伦理、亲缘关系和文化承认的批评主体的典范。她们对于传统议题的意义重构,以文学解释自己的理论,落脚点在女性主义伦理批评,同时融入了她们对现实的理解和期待。

In his structuralist studies of Mythology and Totem, Claude Levi-Strauss contends that myth stands at the center of culture with regard to its ＂thought provoking effects＂ and Antigone is such an example. In the ＂Post＂ fashion of thoughts, feminist engagements with Antigone emerge as one of the most critical theory. Centering on ＂Antigone＇s unfortunate birth and subversive death＂, Luce Iri- garay and Judith Butler＇s readings of Antigone have made her not simply an enigmatic figure of tragedy, but an exemplary subject of criticism in the debates of sexual difference, kinship and cultural intelligibility. These literary citations of Antigone not only cater to their theoretical thoughts concerning feminist political-ethical criticism but can also function as a source of inspiration for feminist thought and practice.
