摘要

本文通过米歇尔-马塞（Michelle Massé）的《以爱之名》（In the Name of Love）一书，探讨了 20 世纪 70 年代哥特式超级英雄漫画中的女性形象：女性、受虐狂与哥特式漫画》（1992 年）的视角，探讨了 20 世纪 70 年代哥特式超级英雄漫画中的女性待遇。即使在第二波女权主义盛行时期，超级英雄作品也普遍忽视女性，而哥特式超级英雄亚类型则更进一步，利用受苦受难的女性这一倒退的特例来 "怂恿 "女性角色，否定她们的能动性和自主性。我们探讨了四位同命运的女性角色，研究了她们对叙事弧线中弗洛伊德式的殴打幻想的不同反应，勾勒出饱受创伤、梦想胜利的女性所付出的高昂代价和有限收获。

A Woman is Being Side-Kicked: Gothic Superheroes and the Suppression of Female Autonomy Amid Feminism’s Second Wave

This essay examines the treatment of women in the Gothic superhero comics of the 1970s through the lens of Michelle Massé’s In the Name of Love: Women, Masochism and the Gothic (1992). While superhero texts generally neglected women even at the height of second-wave feminism, the Gothic superhero sub-genre goes even further, drawing on the regressive trope of the suffering woman to ‘side-kick’ female characters and deny their agency and autonomy. Exploring four female characters who share this fate, we examine their different responses to the Freudian beating fantasy enacted in their narrative arcs, delineating the high costs and limited gains of traumatised women who dream of triumph.

期刊介绍： The official journal of the International Gothic Association considers the field of Gothic studies from the eighteenth century to the present day. Gothic Studies opens a forum for dialogue and cultural criticism, and provides a specialist journal for scholars working in a field which is today taught or researched in academic institutions around the globe. The journal invites contributions from scholars working within any period of the Gothic; interdisciplinary scholarship is especially welcome, as are studies of works across the range of media, beyond the written word.
