摘要

摘要：本文将残疾研究的理论框架应用到荷马史诗中，探讨如何通过英雄身体的表现来传达能动性。在探讨了塞莱斯特在《伊利亚特》中关于美的诗学方面的异常丑陋之后，我认为《奥德赛》改编了功能性身体的概念，以使脑力优先于体力。这种改编是对伊利亚季奇价值观的补充而非否定。《奥德赛》强调奥德修斯标志性和后英雄性的身体姿势体验是代理的标志，将身体完美重新定位为变态的象征。

Beautiful Bodies, Beautiful Minds: Some Applications of Disability Studies to Homer

ABSTRACT:This paper applies theoretical frameworks from disability studies to the Homeric epics to explore how agency is communicated through the representation of heroic bodies. After exploring the exceptional ugliness of Thersites in respect to the poetics of beauty in the Iliad, I argue that the Odyssey adapts notions of a functional body to privilege mental ability over physical strength. Such an adaptation complements rather than negates Iliadic values. The Odyssey's emphasis on Odysseus' marked and post-heroic body positions experience as a marker of agency re-positions bodily perfection as a symbol of perversity.
