摘要

茱莉亚·帕斯特拉纳(1834-1860)在新维多利亚时代的传记体小说中占有重要地位,这可能与她悲惨的一生以及死后被她的丈夫、经纪人西奥多·伦特剥削有关。帕斯特拉纳的事业超越了她的死亡,伦特继续参观她的防腐尸体-一个展览将比他活到20世纪后期。虽然帕斯特拉纳于2013年被遣返并埋葬,但她并没有得到最后的安息,因为她的故事继续吸引着21世纪的观众。本文关注的是帕斯特拉纳的身体是如何在跨越三个世纪的不同学科和文化背景的多重话语中被建构和产生的。桑迪·奥尔森和朱利安·费内奇的两部传记小说《朱莉娅·帕斯特拉纳》(2007)和卡罗尔·伯奇的《狂欢节孤儿》(2016)将通过超物质现实的视角进行分析(Alaimo, 2010)。通过借鉴21世纪女性主义关于身体的理论,强调身体是一个动态的、流动的概念,通过它的方向和交叉性,我的主要目的是为当代小说家呈现帕斯特拉纳身体的方式提供新的见解,并研究其目的。

Neo-Victorian transcorporeality: Narrating Julia Pastrana's body
Julia Pastrana (1834-1860) features prominently in neo-Victorian biofiction, which is probably indebted to her tragic life and posthumous exploitation in the hands of her husband-manager Theodore Lent. Pastrana’s career surpassed her death when Lent continued touring her embalmed body – an exhibition that would outlive him into the late twentieth century. Although Pastrana was repatriated and buried in 2013, she did not reach the final rest as her story continues to fascinate twentieth-first century audiences. This essay focuses on the ways in which Pastrana’s body has been constructed and produced narratively building on multiple discourses that straddle different disciplines and cultural settings that span three centuries. The two biofictional novels Julia Pastrana (2007) by Sandy Olson and Julian Fenech, and The Orphans of the Carnival (2016) by Carol Birch will be analysed through the lens of transcorporeality (Alaimo, 2010). By drawing on twenty-first century feminist theory on the body that has placed emphasis on the body as a dynamic and travelling concept through its orientations and intersectionality, my principal aim is to provide new insights into the ways in which contemporary novelists have rendered Pastrana’s body and to examine to which ends.

期刊介绍: CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION (CLR) is a biannual scholarly publication devoted to the field of Culture and Linguistics Studies, whose scope is aimed at the international academic community. Alternatively, each issue deals either monographically with a relevant aspect of the linguistic representation of culture in its various manifestations (social, political, educational, literary, historical, etc.) or encourages interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to language and culture research. The Journal is committed to academic and research excellence by publishing relevant and original material that meets high scientific standards. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Articles will undergo an independent evaluation by two external referees, who will advise the Editors on the suitability of their publication. Publishing elsewhere an article included in CLR needs the author''s acknowledgement that it has first appeared in the Journal. If in doubt, authors are advised to contact The Editors.
