Abstract

Abstract:This article centers Emily Dickinson’s imaginative and, at times, playful writing style—her word-making—to make legible her sapphic world-making in letters and poems to and about Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson. Through this wor(l) d-making, Dickinson taps into new modes of occupying time, creating a polyvalent present tense that holds in tension the grief of losing Susan to marriage and the ecstasy of reading and writing about pleasurable memories and anticipated reunions. Out of this tension emerge possibilities for a present experienced otherwise, lived aslant from both the past-oriented time of remembrance and mourning and the future-oriented time of the nation and its chronobiopolitical rhythms—both of which threaten to foreclose the continuation of Dickinson’s intimacies with Susan. Contemporary readers and critics have also found in the creative relationship to time that Dickinson cultivates through her sapphic wor(l) d-making the opportunity to reach across the centuries, immerse themselves in her writing, and momentarily slip into a different temporal order.
“哦,奢华的时刻/缓慢的前进”:艾米莉·狄金森的《萨菲诗》(l)d-Making
摘要:本文以艾米莉·狄金森富有想象力、时而充满戏谑的写作风格——她的造词——为中心,让读者了解她在写给和讲述苏珊·亨廷顿·吉尔伯特·狄金森的信和诗中创造的生动世界。通过这个词的创作,狄金森挖掘了占用时间的新模式,创造了一种多价现在时,将苏珊因婚姻而失去的悲伤和阅读和写作关于愉快回忆和期待的团聚的狂喜交织在一起。从这种紧张关系中出现了另一种可能性,一种以过去为导向的记忆和哀悼的时间,一种以未来为导向的国家和它的时间政治节奏——这两者都威胁着阻止狄金森与苏珊的亲密关系的延续。当代读者和评论家们也发现,狄金森通过她的诗(1)培养了与时间的创造性关系,使他们有机会跨越几个世纪,沉浸在她的作品中,并暂时滑入不同的时间秩序。
