Abstract

abstract:This article highlights three ways in which Fetterley’s feminist methodology anticipated intersectional praxis and enabled my own critiques of how American writers disguised and reified violent erasures of gender, class, and race. First, it highlights the misogyny extant in the Italian-American literary tradition, epitomized by Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, in ways that recall Fetterley’s analysis of The Great Gatsby. Second, it argues that Fetterley’s attention to the violent erasure of gender paved the way for thinking about the effacement of race as examined by Toni Morrison in Playing in the Dark. Third, it suggests that The Resisting Reader produced the conditions for a feminist methodology embracing interdisciplinary scholarship on race, class, and citizenship.
费特利抵制学者的女权主义蓝图
本文强调了费特利的女权主义方法论预见了交叉实践的三种方式,并使我能够批评美国作家如何掩饰和具体化对性别、阶级和种族的暴力抹去。首先,它突出了意大利裔美国文学传统中存在的厌女症,马里奥·普佐(Mario Puzo)的《教父》(the Godfather)就是一个缩影,其方式让人想起费特利(Fetterley)对《了不起的盖茨比》(the Great Gatsby)的分析。其次,它认为费特利对暴力抹杀性别的关注为托尼·莫里森(Toni Morrison)在《黑暗中玩耍》(Playing in the Dark)中对种族抹杀的思考铺平了道路。第三,它表明《抗拒的读者》为女权主义方法论创造了条件,包括种族、阶级和公民身份方面的跨学科研究。
