Abstract

Within transgender studies, Jan Morris casts a problematic shadow, with Aren Aizura identifying how “Morris's entire literary and historical oeuvre . . . [is] a tacit articulation of a British colonial ideology.” Yet this position appears to be based on Morris's works between the 1950s and 1970s, up to and including her memoir Conundrum, and represents arguably only the first of three periods in Morris's writing. This essay argues that two subsequent periods diversify our understanding of Morris as a complex, transcultural figure: her broadly leftist, anticolonial writing on Wales and the Welsh language (1980s–90s), and then in the twenty-first century when Morris increasingly appears to question the colonial, nationalist, and cisheteropatriarchal ideologies that have shaped her previous writing. This essay concludes that Morris's body of work provides valuable evidence as to the complex interplay of Welsh, British, and European conceptions of gender that characterize her attitude and writing on transgender identity.
Hiraethi Jan Morris
在跨性别研究中,简·莫里斯投下了一个有问题的阴影,阿伦·Aizura认为“莫里斯的整个文学和历史作品……是对英国殖民意识形态的默契配合。”然而,这一立场似乎是基于莫里斯在20世纪50年代至70年代之间的作品,直到她的回忆录《谜题》,并且可以说只是莫里斯写作三个时期中的第一个时期。本文认为,随后的两个时期使我们对莫里斯作为一个复杂的、跨文化的人物的理解多样化:她关于威尔士和威尔士语言的广泛左翼、反殖民主义的写作(20世纪80年代至90年代),然后在21世纪,莫里斯越来越多地质疑殖民主义、民族主义和直系父权意识形态,这些意识形态塑造了她之前的作品。本文的结论是,莫里斯的作品为威尔士、英国和欧洲性别概念的复杂相互作用提供了有价值的证据,这些概念表征了她对跨性别身份的态度和写作。
