摘要

摘要:本文将性别暴力的威胁作为生态哥特恐怖的核心要素,在当代生态哥特文本中作为对代理自然与人类之间传统冲突的修正而发挥作用。本文考察了边疆主义诗人和教育家娜塔莉·斯考特-扎皮科的联合诗作,认为异性父权制使生态哥特文学中对“人”的理解变得复杂,因为在斯考特-扎皮科的女性说话者的语境中,人类主体的概念已经有缺陷,明显不那么稳定。在研究性别歧视、性别不平等和性别暴力在生态哥特文学中占据很大一部分的方式时,本文还通过关注昆虫在生态哥特文学表现中的作用,在批判性学术领域开辟了新的领域。从我认为是拉丁生态哥特的角度来看,这篇文章表明,诗歌《狩猎》、《他发现了一只亲吻的虫子》和《昨晚我被人杀死》将这些诗歌的女性演讲者置于与昆虫和蛛形纲动物的矛盾关系中,这种关系反映了性化/性别暴力的恐怖,以及暴力主体为抵抗这些恐怖而采取的行动。

Vectors and Vermin: Gendered Violence and the Role of Insects in the Arthropoetics of Natalie Scenters-Zapico
Abstract:Theorized in this essay as a central element of ecoGothic horror, the threat of gendered violence functions in contemporary ecoGothic texts as a revision of traditional conflicts between agential nature and the human. Examining the arthropoetic works of Fronterista poet and educator Natalie Scenters-Zapico, this essay argues that heteropatriarchy complicates understandings of "the human" in ecoGothic literature, as the already flawed idea of human agency is markedly less stable in the context of Scenters-Zapico's women speakers. In examining the ways that sexism, gender inequality, and gendered violence inhabit a large portion of the ecoGothic, this essay also charts new territory in critical scholarship by focusing on the role of insects in literary representations of the ecoGothic. Read through the lens of what I deem the Latinx ecoGothic, this essay suggests that the poems "The Hunt," "He Finds a Kissing Bug," and "Last Night I Was Killed by Man" situate their female speakers in ambivalent relationships with insects and arachnids in ways that mirror the horrors of sexualized/gendered violence as well as the actions that subjects of said violence take to resist these horrors.
