Abstract

I argue … that aside from being a central factor in Blake’s revisionist Christian system of the “human form divine,” self-annihilation is a major source of eroticism in his portrayal of unconventional sexual experiences. Self-annihilation as an erotic phenomenon is empowered by the violent alteration of human subjectivity and the dissolution of social and biological preexisting identity. Blake’s designs of Oothoon and Theotormon in Visions exemplify this alternative aspect, as this essay attempts to demonstrate.

暴力、死亡和自体性:《阿尔比恩的女儿们》中的另一种自我毁灭

我认为，除了是布莱克修正主义的基督教“神的人类形式”体系的核心因素外，自我毁灭是他对非常规性体验的描绘中色情的主要来源。自我毁灭作为一种情色现象，是由人类主体性的暴力改变和社会和生物先前存在的身份的解体所赋予的。Blake在《视觉》中设计的oothon和Theotormon就是另一个例子，这篇文章试图证明这一点。

期刊介绍： Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly was born as the Blake Newsletter on a mimeograph machine at the University of California, Berkeley in 1967. Edited by Morton D. Paley, the first issue ran to nine pages, was available for a yearly subscription rate of two dollars for four issues, and included the fateful words, "As far as editorial policy is concerned, I think the Newsletter should be just that—not an incipient journal." The production office of the Newsletter relocated to the University of New Mexico when Morris Eaves became co-editor in 1970, and then moved with him in 1986 to its present home at the University of Rochester.
