Abstract

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Irish Catholic Church adopted and spread a gendered moral discourse to educate women in chastity, purity and passivity. In the twenty-first century, this religious discourse has been maintained and reinforced with the medicalisation of women’s bodies and the pressure put on female subjects to become mothers. Following feminist and resilience studies, we will analyse Martina Devlin’s short story “Alice through the Bathroom Mirror” (2003) to see how the female body is objectified, dehumanised and pathologized by men, and how gender expectations can be challenged by resisting subordination and objectification.
玛蒂娜·德夫林的短篇小说《透过浴室镜子的爱丽丝》挑战了理想的爱尔兰女性形象。
在整个19世纪和20世纪,爱尔兰天主教会采用并传播了一种性别化的道德话语,以教育妇女保持贞洁、纯洁和被动。在21世纪,这种宗教话语随着女性身体的医学化和女性主体成为母亲的压力而得到维持和加强。在女权主义和弹性研究之后,我们将分析玛蒂娜·德夫林的短篇小说《爱丽丝透过浴室镜子》(2003),以了解女性身体是如何被男性客观化、非人化和病态化的,以及性别期望如何通过抵制从属和客观化而受到挑战。
