摘要
《气绝》是希拉里·曼特尔人到中年、回首往事时所作的自传。作品涵盖了曼特尔的童年生活、家庭背景、学习经历以及与疾病斗争的痛苦岁月。本文以《气绝》为研究文本,从身体视角切入,将加拉格尔的身体现象学作为依托,分析曼特尔童年时期对于性别身体的误认以及因疾病导致的身体图式的异常和身体意象的破损。面对不稳定的物质性身体带来的身份危机,曼特尔转向了精神性努力,通过文学写作来实现自我确立。这在无形中为陷于身份危机中的疾病个体提供了一条自我疗救之道。
Giving Up the Ghost is a memoir of Hilary Mantel written in her midlife.It covers Mantel’s childhood,family background,learning experiences and painful years of fighting against illness.With Gallagher’s theory of body phenomenology as the theoretical base,this paper analyzes the body writing in Giving up the Ghost from the aspects of misidentification of gendered body in Mantel’s childhood and the abnormalities of body schema and body image caused by disease.Faced with an identity crisis brought on by an unstable physical body,Mantel turned to spiritual efforts to establish herself through literary writing.This virtually provides a way of self-cure for individuals suffering from identity crisis.
