摘要

摘要:本文通过对爱情魔法的研究，考察了巴布亚新几内亚新爱尔兰群岛的莱特人在文化上对性欲的调解方式。莱莱特通过福柯所说的“规规性话语”对性进行了严格的规范，这些话语严重地限制了性的表达，尤其是对女性来说，她们被认为是缺乏性欲的。女人很容易成为男人欲望的对象，而男人却不容易成为女人欲望的对象。尽管没有激情是女人的理想状态，男人却把爱情魔术作为培养她们性欲的一种手段。

Engendering Sexual Desire: Love Magic, Sexuality and Agency in Papua New Guinea

ABSTRACT Through a study of love magic, this paper examines the ways in which sexual desire is culturally mediated among the Lelet of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. The Lelet regulate sexuality heavily through what Foucault refers to as ‘prescriptive discourses’ which severely constrain expressions of sexuality, especially for women, who are construed as properly lacking sexual desire. While women are readily the object of men’s desire, men are not readily the object of women’s desire. Despite passionlessness being the ideal for women, men turn to love magic as a means of cultivating sexual desire in them.
