Abstract

Myth in literary works tends to be used as a traditional story which typically aims to represent and explain certain natural phenomenon. One of those phenomenon are the existence of multi-binary or even non-binary gender which at first known as mythological story of Tiresias that become a real social issue recently. Related to myth, this article is aimed to identify and elaborate the term neutral and gender fluidity correlates to the mythology of Tiresias from Oedipus in the account of hybrid sign by Pierce. Tiresias representing the fluidity term of gender which in the written poems by Tempest’s selected works has symbolical meaning. The data was taken from selected poems in Kae Tempest anthological poetry and collected using proposed sampling technique. The criterion of the sampling is the use of mythological symbol. As a result, the research found there are several symbols, icons, and indexes used to represent neutral gender into Tiresias such as snakes, name of Tiresias, sex, body, and prophet. More than that, some figurative language also used to strengthen the implication of Tiresias implicitly in poem such as like a lady. Besides, typography also found to represent fluid identity such as ones and yous. Thus, this article is contributed to the embodiment of hybrid sign concept applied in literary analysis poetry. Moreover, it is also contributed to the development of gender theory which enlarge the knowledge about fluidity and neutral term of gender.
象征神话:《诗选》中性别流动性的刻画
文学作品中的神话倾向于作为一种传统的故事来使用,通常旨在表现和解释某种自然现象。其中一个现象是多元二元甚至非二元性别的存在,最初被称为泰雷西亚斯的神话故事,最近成为一个现实的社会问题。与神话相关,本文旨在识别和阐述皮尔斯关于混血符号的描述中与俄狄浦斯的泰雷西斯神话相关的中性术语和性别流动性。泰雷西亚斯代表了性别的流动性,在坦佩斯特的诗选中具有象征意义。数据取自Kae Tempest诗歌选集中的诗歌,并采用提出的抽样技术收集。抽样的标准是神话符号的使用。因此,研究发现,蛇、泰瑞西亚斯的名字、性别、身体、先知等用来表示中性性别的符号、图标和索引有很多。更重要的是,一些比喻性的语言也被用来加强泰雷西亚斯在诗歌中的含蓄含义,比如像一位女士。此外,排版也被发现代表了流动的身份,如“一”和“你”。因此,本文为混合符号概念在文学分析诗歌中的体现做出了贡献。此外,它还促进了性别理论的发展,扩大了对性别流动性和中性术语的认识。
