摘要

这篇文章从“供给”一词的角度审视了女性与周围物体的关系。这个术语是由心理学家詹姆斯·j·吉布森创造的，指的是物体因其物质特性而具有的一系列特定行为的潜力。通过关注两个案例研究，其中女性在暴力情境中使用世俗物品(主要是大头针和杵)——(a)希罗多德和欧里庇得斯讲述的关于女性用大头针攻击的故事，(b)一组代表女性用杵攻击的花瓶——文章试图揭示女性与周围物品接触的基本方面，正如创造文学和艺术的男性所设想的那样。这些妇女被剥夺了几乎任何获得真正武器的机会，她们被描绘成转向周围环境中的物品。从这些物品的形状、材料和内在的行动潜力来看，这些物品的实用性使妇女们在自卫、愤怒或报复中使用它们。

PINS, PESTLES, AND WOMEN: A MATERIAL APPROACH TO FEMALE VIOLENCE IN ANCIENT GREECE

The article examines the relationship of women and the objects surrounding them in the light of the term ‘affordance’. Coined by psychologist James J. Gibson, the term refers to the potentialities held by an object for a particular set of actions, stemming from its material properties. Through focusing on two case studies in which women use mundane objects (mainly pins and pestles) in violent situations – (a) stories (told by Herodotus and Euripides) about women attacking with pins, and (b) a group of vases representing women attacking with pestles – the article seeks to uncover a fundamental aspect of the engagement of women with the objects surrounding them, as envisioned by the men creating the literature and art. Deprived of almost any access to real weapons, these women are depicted as turning to objects in their immediate environment. Perceiving the affordances of these objects, stemming from their shape and material and the inherent potentialities for action, the women make use of them in acts of self-defence, anger, or revenge.

The 2007 New Survey will be Comedy by Nick Lowe.
