摘要

在他对英雄库丘兰的描述中，塞缪尔·贝克特质问残疾和强制健全身体是如何成为爱尔兰自由邦的基本神话的。本文以生命政治中的残疾为例，考察了以格雷戈里夫人、斯坦迪什·奥格雷迪、叶芝和丹尼尔·考克里为代表的复兴主义文学和批评中的正常化冲动。与这种正常化、国家化的文学相反，我把贝克特在《审查制度与Saorstat》和墨菲(Murphy)中对库库兰(Cuchulain)的讽刺描写作为对新成立的爱尔兰国家治理的生物政治机制深感不安和沮丧的证据。

Beckett and Disability Biopolitics: The Case of Cuchulain

In his depiction of the hero Cuchulain, Samuel Beckett interrogates how disability and compulsory able-bodiedness are foundational myths for the Irish Free State. Taking the interpolation of disability in biopolitics, this essay examines the normalising impulses in revivalist literature and criticism, exemplified by Lady Gregory, Standish O’Grady, WB Yeats and Daniel Corkery. Against this normalising, nationalising literature, I situate Beckett’s satirical renderings of Cuchulain in “Censorship and the Saorstat” and Murphy, as evidence of a profound discomfort and frustration with the biopolitical mechanisms of governance in the newly-founded Irish State.
