【摘要】：1940年安吉拉·卡特出生在伊斯特本,她是最有创造性和争议性的当代作家之一。她也是20世纪具有独创性的女权主义作家。卡特对英国当代女性写作起到关键性影响。在她超过20年的写作生涯中,卡特致力于解构父权制神话中对女人天性的偏见。卡特推翻传统父权桎梏下机械的女性形象,塑造女性表达自我的形象,帮助恢复女性的真实、完整面貌。本文将从福柯的“空间”理论探索卡特《魔幻玩具店》中空间化权力。“权力”是福柯哲学思想中的关键词,探讨个人、团体、机构和社会之间的关系。在他的著作《规训与惩罚》中,他表达了自己对权力的基本思路:权力实际上是个人与社会,特别是与机构之间的关系。在福柯权力学说中,要更好了解他相关的权力理论,还有一个重要的词——“空间”是不可忽视的,它也是福柯分析权力运作的关键,通过“空间”福柯能够更好地解析“权力”以及权力机制。小说故事场景设定在类似于黑暗洞穴的玩具商店里,小说为读者呈现玩具铺里人物活动包括女主人公梅拉尼,费因,弗朗辛,乔纳森,以及玛格丽特舅妈以及他们之间发生的种种事件。论文的空间化权力研究将从下面三个方面进行:第一章着重于空间化父权的物理建构。运用福柯的作品《规训与惩罚》中提到的空间理论来分析小说中展现父权的禁止空间——工作间和不断被凝视的空间——厨房,父权统治下的玩具铺这一封闭的物理空间已不单纯是一个人物活动的自然空间,它有重要的社会属性,已成为人物们被父权监控,即被权力渗透的空间。第二章讨论了小说人物在空间化父权下的心理空间。乔纳森搬到玩具店之后,在菲利普舅舅的监督下,整日投身于制作模型船。弗朗西面对菲利普的父权,迫于现实而沉迷于小提琴演奏,但也是对菲利普压迫的消极反抗。作为弱势群体的乔纳森和弗朗西只能通过心理想象空间才让生活得以继续。第三章通过玩具铺这一封闭空间中的人际关系探讨了权力关系。在社会的缩影——魔幻玩具店里,失语的玛格丽特舅妈只是表面屈服于丈夫菲利普的淫威。她通过把字写在黑板上的方式发出自己的声音。女主角梅拉尼最终与受尽菲利普种种凌辱而无力还手的费因奔上爱情自由之路。专制,压迫的父权制导致了被侮辱和被压迫者的反抗。《魔幻玩具铺》展示了被边缘化的群体,如妇女,孤儿与父制强权做战斗,并最终获得自由解脱。本文试图讨论小说《魔幻玩具铺》中人物从逐渐意识到父权制的压迫和反抗的过程,借此回顾卡特作品的主题。
[Abstract]:Born in Eastburn in 1940, Angela Carter is one of the most creative and controversial contemporary writers.She was also an original feminist writer in the 20 th century.Carter plays a key role in contemporary English female writing.During her more than 20 years writing career, Carter worked to deconstruct the patriarchal biases against women's nature.Carter overthrew the mechanical images of women under the shackles of traditional patriarchal power, molded the image of women to express themselves, and helped to restore the true and complete appearance of women.This paper explores the spatial power in Carter's Magic Toy Shop from Foucault's Space Theory.Power is the key word in Foucault's philosophy, exploring the relationship among individuals, groups, institutions and society.In his book discipline and punishment, he expresses his basic thinking about power: power is actually the relationship between individuals and society, especially with institutions.In Foucault's power theory, in order to better understand his relevant power theory, there is also an important word-"space" is not to be ignored, it is also the key to Foucault's analysis of power operation.Through "space" Foucault can better analyze "power" and power mechanism.Set in a toy store similar to a dark cave, the novel presents readers with characters in toy shops, including the heroines Merani, Fain, Francine, Jonathan,And aunt Marguerite and the events between them.The research of spatial power will be carried out from the following three aspects: the first chapter focuses on the physical construction of spatial patriarchy.Using the space theory mentioned in Foucault's work "discipline and punishment", to analyze the forbidden space-the workplace and the constantly gazed space-kitchen in the novel that shows paternity.The closed physical space of toy shop under patriarchal rule is not only a natural space for characters' activities, but also an important social property, which has become the space where the characters are monitored by the patriarchal power, that is, infiltrated by the power.The second chapter discusses the psychological space of the novel characters under the spatial patriarchal power.Jonathan moved to the toy store and, under the supervision of Uncle Philip, devoted himself to making model boats.Confronted with Philip's paternity, Francie indulged in violin playing, but also defied Philip's oppression.Jonathan and Frances, as vulnerable groups, can only continue their lives through mental imagination.Chapter three discusses the power relationship through the interpersonal relationship in the closed space of toy shop.In the epitome of society-magic toy shop, the aphasic aunt Margaret simply surreptitiously succumbed to the power of her husband, Philip.She uttered her voice by writing the words on the blackboard.The heroine Merani is finally on the road of love freedom with Fein, who has been humiliated by Philip.Despotism, oppressive patriarchy leads to the resistance of the insulted and oppressed. The Magic Toy Shop shows marginalized groups such as women, orphans fighting against the patriarchal power, and eventually free from it.This paper attempts to discuss the process of the characters' gradually realizing the oppression and resistance of patriarchy in the novel "Magic Toy Shop", so as to review the theme of Carter's works.
