Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores how two recent configurations of the Albanian sworn virgin prompt a reflection on the intersection of transgender discourses with questions of transnational mobility. Elvira Dones’s novel Vergine giurata and its eponymous cinematic adaptation (directed by Laura Bispuri) imagine in diverging ways the material and symbolic disruptions that occur when this tribally sanctioned figure leaves Albania for another nation. Novel and film suggest to different degrees how this distinctive transgender figure challenges binary regimes of heteronormativity and the power-knowledge systems underpinning them, revealing contrasting investments in the possibilities of the sworn virgin's integration into the respective migratory settings.
讲述宣誓圣母的跨国轨迹与跨性别表现
摘要本文探讨了阿尔巴尼亚宣誓处女最近的两种配置如何促使人们反思跨性别话语与跨国流动问题的交叉。Elvira Dones的小说《Vergine giurata》及其同名电影改编作品(由Laura Bispuri执导)以不同的方式想象了当这个受到部落制裁的人物离开阿尔巴尼亚前往另一个国家时所发生的物质和象征性破坏。小说和电影在不同程度上表明,这个独特的跨性别人物如何挑战异质性的二元制度及其背后的权力知识体系,揭示了对宣誓处女融入各自移民环境的可能性的对比投资。
