Abstract

ABSTRACT Creative works allow a discourse that can be collectively subjective, rather than denuding experienced meanings through attempts at objectification. Jennifer Fox’s film The Tale offers an encounter with the Real as informed by an Imaginary that shifts and transforms over time. She shows the objectification of one woman’s experience by tracing her ambivalent efforts to subjectify her own story. Asserting her own desire becomes possible as she recognizes how that desire became hidden under and subservient to the needs, desires, and limits of others. This film highlights how cultural pressures can make it difficult to find one’s own desire and to say no to the desire of the other. The film shows how the enigmatic message of maternal abjection has invited women to subjugate themselves in relation to a cultural injunction that demeans and devalues embodied experience in ways that can make “development” perverse rather than transformative.

女人能知道什么？主体性、欲望、变态与可能性

创造性的作品允许一种集体主观的话语，而不是通过客观化的尝试来剥夺经验的意义。詹妮弗·福克斯的电影《故事》讲述了一场与现实的相遇，而现实则是随着时间的推移而发生变化的想象。她通过追溯一个女人将自己的故事主体化的矛盾努力，展示了她的经历的物化。当她认识到自己的欲望是如何隐藏在他人的需求、欲望和限制之下，并屈从于他人的需求、欲望和限制时，她就有可能表达自己的欲望。这部电影强调了文化压力如何使人们难以找到自己的欲望，也难以对他人的欲望说不。这部电影展示了母性堕落的神秘信息是如何邀请女性在与一种文化禁令的关系中征服自己，这种文化禁令贬低和贬低了具体的经验，这种方式可能使“发展”变得反常而不是变革。

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
