摘要

为什么露西·哈里斯被指责遗失了116页的摩尔门经手稿?对摩门教第一个“坏女孩”露西·哈里斯(Lucy Harris)的故事进行分析，可以让我们看到后期圣徒记忆链中一个元素的形成。通过关于露西·哈里斯的故事的积累，教会成员在摩门教的记忆中逐渐将怀疑视为女性，而将见证的概念视为男性。这些对性别与宗教信仰之间关系的理解，深深根植于后期圣徒的记忆链中。马丁·哈里斯是露西的丈夫、《摩门经》的抄写员，也是《摩门经》的三位见证人之一。为了保留他的记忆和声誉，后期圣徒得以巩固男子气概、祭司身份和见证人之间的交叉点。教会成员用露西·哈里斯的故事来教导、约束和执行未来几代摩门教徒的性别规范。

Mormonism's First Bad Girl: Lucy Harris and the Gendering of Faith and Doubt in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

ABSTRACT Why has Lucy Harris been blamed for the loss of 116 pages of the Book of Mormon manuscript? Analysis of storytelling about Lucy Harris, Mormonism's first “bad girl,” allows us to see the creation of one element of the Latter-day Saint chain of memory. Through the accretion of stories about Lucy Harris, church members came to code doubt as feminine in Mormon memory while viewing the concept of witness as masculine. These understandings of the relationship between gender and religious faith are embedded understandings in the Latter-day Saint chain of memory. Preserving the memory and reputation of Martin Harris, Lucy's husband, scribe for the Book of Mormon, and one of its three witnesses, allowed Latter-day Saints to cement the intersections of masculinity, priesthood, and witness. Church members used stories about Lucy Harris to teach, discipline, and perform gender norms for future generations of Mormons.
