《红楼梦》之酷儿解读——“意淫”式的男同性爱及其当代意义

Queering Honglou meng:The“Lust of Mind”Mode of Male Love&Its Afterlives

《红楼梦》的情爱观以“意淫”与“皮肤淫滥”相对立,在同性爱方面以贾宝玉及其四位密友的特殊友谊为前者的具体表现。本文旨在解读这种独特的“意淫”式的同性爱,考察后世衍生作品对这一主题的接受和曲解,并提出这种同性爱模式对当代酷儿理论及华人社群性少数运动的可能启示。

The great eighteenth-century novel Honglou meng《红楼梦》(A Dream of Red Mansions)offers a unique vision of male love:contrasting yiyin意淫(lust of mind)with pifu yinlan皮肤淫滥(promiscuous kind of lust),it praises the former as embodied in the male protagonist Jia Baoyu’s贾宝玉relationships with his four bosom friends.This paper seeks to expound this extraordinary mode of male love,trace its reception and distortion in later derivative works,and draw from it inspirations that may enrich contemporary queer theory and inform LGBT movements in Chinese societies.
