Abstract

Abstract: Alicia Suskin Ostriker is the author of a wide range of literary and critical works, including several books of poetry and criticism of English-language poetry. This article argues that Ostriker’s work as a poet and literary scholar informs her engagement with biblical literature, particularly biblical poetry. In her formative work on twentieth-century English-language women’s poetry, she articulates how women’s poetry voices embodied identities and creates spaces of intimacy that can break down ideologically constructed barriers. Her creative, poetic biblical criticism mutually informs her interest in the ability of women’s poetry to transform and revise male-dominated mythologies. For Ostriker, the poetry of the Bible provides a resource located within Jewish tradition that can transform it from the inside. As a reader and creative inheritor of the literary heritage of the Bible who is carefully attuned to its literary power, Ostriker’s work reading and revisioning the Bible creates a feminist countertheology grounded in the aesthetic, material possibilities of poetic language.
艾丽西亚·萨斯金·奥斯特莱克的《女性主义诗学:作为反神学解读圣经诗歌》
摘要:艾丽西亚·萨斯金·奥斯特莱克是一位文学和批评作品广泛的作家,包括几本诗歌和英语诗歌批评书籍。本文认为,作为一名诗人和文学学者,奥斯特克的作品影响了她对圣经文学,尤其是圣经诗歌的研究。在她对二十世纪英语女性诗歌的研究中,她阐述了女性诗歌的声音是如何体现身份的,并创造了可以打破意识形态建构障碍的亲密空间。她的创造性,诗意的圣经批评相互影响了她对女性诗歌改变和修改男性主导神话的能力的兴趣。对于Ostriker来说,圣经中的诗歌提供了一种资源,可以从内部改变犹太传统。作为《圣经》文学遗产的读者和创造性继承者,他小心翼翼地与它的文学力量相协调,Ostriker阅读和修订《圣经》的工作创造了一种女权主义的反神学,以诗歌语言的美学和物质可能性为基础。
