摘要

摘要:这篇文章论述了布鲁姆被自己和他人错误衡量的方式。尤根·桑多(Eugen Sandow)设定的“完美男人”的理想,确立了利奥波德·布鲁姆(Leopold Bloom)无法达到的身体标准;《独眼巨人》中的公民和其他酒吧常客,以及布鲁姆在《马戏团》中对巴克·穆里根和其他人的描绘,都声称他患有痴呆、畸形和疾病。这种残酷的诊断反映了源自民间传说、科学种族主义和优生学的反犹太主义和反盖尔偏见。因为布鲁姆的生理和心理缺陷——其中一些本质上是疯子——被滑稽地夸大了,我们开始欣赏布鲁姆的价值。他一再被宣布为不正常甚至不正常,他扩展了我们对什么是正常的认识。

The Mismeasure of Bloom: Sandow, Folklore, Scientific Racism, Eugenics
Abstract:This essay addresses ways in which Bloom is mismeasured by himself and by others. The ideal set by Eugen Sandow, "the perfect man," establishes a physical standard Leopold Bloom can only fail to meet; the Citizen and other barflies in "Cyclops," as well as Bloom's projections of Buck Mulligan and others in "Circe," claim variously that he is demented, deformed, and diseased. Such cruel diagnoses reflect anti-Semitic and anti-Gaelic prejudices deriving from folklore, scientific racism, and eugenics. Because the physical and psychological failings attributed to Bloom—some of them positively lunatic in nature—are so comically exaggerated, we are brought to appreciate Bloom's value. Declared repeatedly to be abnormal and even subnormal, he expands our sense of what normal is.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1963 at the University of Tulsa by Thomas F. Staley, the James Joyce Quarterly has been the flagship journal of international Joyce studies ever since. In each issue, the JJQ brings together a wide array of critical and theoretical work focusing on the life, writing, and reception of James Joyce. We encourage submissions of all types, welcoming archival, historical, biographical, and critical research. Each issue of the JJQ provides a selection of peer-reviewed essays representing the very best in contemporary Joyce scholarship. In addition, the journal publishes notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and the editor"s "Raising the Wind" comments.
