摘要
本文探讨了一系列不同体裁的文本中对家庭暴力和强制控制的明示和暗示描写,这些文本都与农业有关:《提布兰挽歌》(Tibullan elegy)中一位农民在乡村节日后对妻子的攻击,《农业论》(De agricultura)中加图老人对监工如何强制控制妻子的指示,以及维吉尔的《乔治亚》(Georgics)和 Columella 的《乡村论》(De re rustica 10)中对自然的拟人化家庭暴力的描写和压制。这些文本揭示了古罗马家庭虐待和环境开发的现实和意识形态,以及它们的跨历史和跨文化连续性。通过一系列生态女性主义视角来审视这些文本,我们可以看到自然与女性的联系如何既为受害者发声,又助长了对她们的奴役。
The farmer wants a wife: ecofeminism, domestic violence, and coercive control in Roman agricultural writing
This article explores the explicit and implicit depiction of domestic violence and coercive control in a range of texts from different genres, all dealing with agriculture: a farmer’s attack on his wife after a rustic festival in a Tibullan elegy, the Elder Cato’s instructions to his overseer on how to control his wife coercively in De agricultura, and the portrayal—and suppression—of anthropomorphized domestic violence against nature in Virgil’s Georgics and Columella’s De re rustica 10. These texts throw different lights on the realities and ideologies of domestic abuse and environmental exploitation in ancient Rome, as well as their transhistorical and transcultural continuities. By examining them through a range of ecofeminist lenses, we can see how the nature–woman connection can both give a voice to the victims and contribute to their subjugation.
