摘要

演员经常减肥或增肥来满足他们角色的特定审美。当马特·波默(Matt Bomer)为《平常心》(The Normal Heart)减掉40磅时，公众的讨论远远超出了对他减肥的典型解释。这段话语将波默的身体转变解释为他对同性恋群体的牺牲责任的一部分。修辞学家将波默的减肥定位为一种牺牲，以教育、展望和证明一个团结的同性恋社区将继续采取行动，解决社区继续面临的许多挑战。然而，波默极端减肥的案例也警示我们，包括白人、年龄歧视和残疾歧视在内的排他规范是如何在建立和维持社区的修辞努力中传播的。这篇文章提供了对身体、公众记忆、纪念和社区之间关系的见解。

The Normal Heart and “sickly” body: The case of Matthew Bomer’s extreme weight loss

ABSTRACT Actors often lose or gain weight to satisfy specific esthetics for their roles. When Matt Bomer reportedly lost forty pounds for The Normal Heart, public discourse went well beyond the typical explanation for the weight loss. That discourse explained Bomer’s body transformation as a part of his sacrificial duty to the gay community. Rhetors positioned Bomer’s weight loss as a sacrifice to educate, envision, and justify a united gay community that would continue to act to address the many challenges the community continued to face. Yet, the case of Bomer’s extreme weight loss also serves as a cautionary tale about how exclusionary norms, including whiteness, ageism, and ableism, circulate within rhetorical efforts to build and sustain community. The essay provides insights into the relationships among bodies, public memory, commemoration, and community.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
