摘要

摘要本文批评了2019年备受赞誉的冰岛系列纪录片《那样的人》(“Svona fólk”),该片已成为该国男女同性恋权利斗争的准经典历史。该剧告诉了1996年以注册合伙制为突破口,从底层走向规范进步和变革的前进历程。本文将该系列视为试图创造一种集体记忆,与冰岛作为酷儿乌托邦的新自我形象相对应。在避免历史主义批评的同时,这篇文章介绍了纪录片系列自己的档案中的新故事和记忆,该档案已部分在网上发布,以及该系列未探索的来源,如酷儿期刊和官方报道。从这些故事中,出现了不同的叙事,在这些叙事中,冰岛国家和国家教会在20世纪90年代强加了同音异义性,并得到了冰岛国家酷儿组织的承认,导致了一项注册的伴侣关系立法,一些冰岛同性恋者认为这不是一种胜利,而是一种权力的丧失。这些故事与《那样的人》的故事之间的对比突出了记忆和遗忘的政治,并暴露了20世纪90年代冰岛同性恋者融入国家的鲜为人知的条件。

Into the Enclosure: Collective Memory and Queer History in the Icelandic Documentary “People like That”
ABSTRACT This article criticizes an acclaimed Icelandic documentary film series from 2019, People Like That (“Svona fólk”), which has become the quasi-canonical history of the country’s gay and lesbian rights struggle. The series tells the story of the forward march of normalizing progress and change from below, breaking through with the achievement of registered partnership in 1996. This article views the series as an attempt to create a collective memory corresponding to Iceland’s new self-image as a queer utopia. While avoiding historicist criticism, the article presents new stories and memories from the documentary series‘ own archive, which has been partly released online, and sources unexplored by the series, such as queer journals and official reports. From these stories, different narratives emerge, in which homonormativity is imposed by the Icelandic state and National Church in the 1990s and conceded by Iceland’s National Queer Organization, resulting in a registered partnership legislation that some homosexual Icelanders saw not as a victory but as a loss of power. The contrast between these stories and those of People Like That foregrounds the politics of remembrance and forgetting and exposes the seldom discussed conditions for Icelandic homosexuals‘ inclusion into the nation in the 1990s.
