摘要

丽塔·梅·布朗的《红宝石丛林》(1973)是女同性恋文学的奠基之作,被认为是一部酷儿作品。这篇文章一开始就反对把这部小说读成一部完全颂扬酷儿的作品,因为它把一种本质上的女同性恋与被标记为异常和不正常的酷儿性行为对立起来。尽管如此,《红宝石丛林》充满了奇怪的故事、奇怪的场景和奇怪的人物。在文章的后半部分,我借鉴了伊芙·科索夫斯基·塞奇威克(Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick)的修复阅读模式,以参与小说提供的潜在的酷儿阅读。我展示了读者如何从小说记录的酷儿性行为中恢复过来,而这是小说没有或无法解释的,因为它具有特定的历史和政治立场。

“Just a Couple of Queer Fish”: The Queer Possibilities of Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle
Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle (1973) is a foundational work of lesbian literature and has been characterized as a queer text. This essay begins with resistance to reading the novel as a wholly celebratory queer text because of how it positions a form of essentialized lesbianism against queer sexualities that are coded as deviant and abnormal. Nonetheless, Rubyfruit Jungle brims with queer narratives, queer scenes, and queer characters. In the essay’s second half, I draw on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s model of reparative reading to engage with potential queer readings the novel affords. I show how readers can recuperate the queer sexualities the novel documents in ways that the novel – with its specific historical and political positionality – did not or could not account for.
