Abstract

Abstract “Hideous Kinky” presents the story of an English mother travelling in Morocco with her two daughters. As expected, this exotic journey is about the woman’s pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Less expected, the story is narrated by her youngest daughter who constantly denies the story to the reader. Starting from the issue of unreliable homodiegetic narration, this paper proposes to analyse the effects of missing information in the text, and the reader’s subsequent responsibility for filling the gaps and disambiguating the story. As a method, the essay establishes connections between its theoretical investigations and Esther Freud’s novel.

当孩子们看着我们

《丑陋的怪癖》讲述了一位英国母亲带着两个女儿在摩洛哥旅行的故事。不出所料，这段异国之旅讲述的是这位女性对精神启蒙的追求。出乎意料的是，这个故事是由她最小的女儿讲述的，她不断地向读者否认这个故事。本文从不可靠的同质叙事问题出发，分析文本中信息缺失的影响，以及读者随后填补空白和消除故事歧义的责任。作为一种方法，本文将其理论研究与埃丝特·弗洛伊德的小说联系起来。

期刊介绍： Gender Studies is a journal addressing academics and a general readership at the same time and its main goal is to provide a gendered approach to literature, language and society and also to highlight attempts of educationalists and Gender Studies esperts in various parts of the world to institutionalize Gender Studies in the academe.

The GS journal is interdisciplinary—gender proving an excellent analytical category enabling a new perspective on literature, anthropology, social and political studies, cultural studies, linguistics and mass media studies.
