摘要
本文对西尔维亚-普拉斯(Sylvia Plath)的小说《钟罩》(The Bell Jar)进行了女权主义和政治分析,认为它是对麦卡锡主义的文化回应。为此,文章着重分析了普拉斯在小说中对罗森伯格案件的重视,尤其是艾瑟尔-罗森伯格的死刑判决对唤醒 20 世纪 50 年代美国女性的女性意识的意义。女性身体成为普拉斯在小说中创造的女权斗争的基础,以解构麦卡锡控制美国人私生活的强加的女性角色。在普拉斯去世 60 年后,《钟罩》出版,成为理解当代女权主义文学的基本文本。
Revisiting Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar as a feminist response to McCarthyism
The present article introduces a feminist and political analysis of Sylvia Plath’s novel The Bell Jar, considering it a cultural response to McCarthyism. In order to do that, the article focuses on the importance Plath gives to the Rosenberg’s case in the novel and particularly in the relevance Ethel Rosenberg’s death sentence had to awaken a female consciousness for the women of the 1950s in America. The female body turns fundamental for a feminist struggle that Plath creates in the novel to deconstruct the imposed female roles that helped McCarthy control the private lives of the Americans. Sixty years after Plath’s death and its publication, The Bell Jar becomes a fundamental text for understanding contemporary feminist literature.
