Abstract

Abstract:Where previous scholars have read Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” as a story about post-World War I disillusionment and the concomitant crisis in masculinity, this article examines Hemingway’s use of raced masculinity. By pointing to Oklahoma, a location of racial violence; Kansas, a location of extended Klan influence; and the National Baseball League, a site of exclusively White corruption, Hemingway builds a submerged text focused on the dangers of White Supremacy and White Privilege. Hemingway then engages the trope of White Womanhood as a tool of raced masculinity. “Soldier’s Home” shows how a spectral presence of anti-Black violence shapes one white soldier’s reintegration.
克雷布斯的消失:海明威《士兵之家》对白人的批判
摘要:以往的学者将海明威的《士兵之家》解读为一个关于一战后幻想破灭以及随之而来的男性气质危机的故事,而本文则研究了海明威对种族男性气质的运用。通过指向种族暴力的发生地俄克拉荷马州、三K党影响广泛的堪萨斯州以及纯粹的白人腐败场所全国棒球联盟,海明威构建了一个潜移默化的文本,聚焦于白人至上主义和白人特权的危险。随后,海明威将 "白人女性 "这一特例作为种族男性气质的工具。"士兵之家》展示了反黑人暴力的幽灵是如何影响一名白人士兵重返社会的。
