摘要

摘要:侦探故事在斯卡拉皮诺的创新小说《猎户座》、《笛福》、《兰·杰特山姆》和《大丽花的鸢尾花》中占有重要地位。这些小说结合了典型的侦探类型的犯罪和调查叙事，以及与语言写作相关的作家开发和理论化的形式和语言中断。这篇文章追溯了斯卡拉皮诺对侦探类型的实验，追溯到她对语言写作对形式破坏的排斥强调的对抗，这在她1991年与罗恩·西利曼的《诗学杂志》对话中得到了最充分的阐述。借鉴奈尔·诺丁斯和朱迪思·巴特勒关于相互依赖和关怀的理论，作者认为斯卡拉皮诺的侦探小说突出了人类脆弱的构成本质。这样，这篇文章扩展了Joan Retallack, Małgorzata Myk和Michael Cross最近对斯卡拉皮诺哲学诗学的研究。文章提出，斯卡拉皮诺对侦探小说传统的批判性参与，体现了她对存在、体验和有意识主体性的分层概念，并认为她的侦探小说追求了几十年前格特鲁德·斯坦和沃尔特·本杰明提出的一系列问题:故事在激发或抑制关怀方面发挥了什么作用?既然脆弱是一种共同的状况，那么谁应该得到关怀，谁又应该负责提供关怀呢?代价是什么?

Detectives and Storytellers: On Vulnerability and Care in Leslie Scalapino's Genre Fiction

Abstract:Detective stories feature prominently in Leslie Scalapino's innovative novels Orion, Defoe, Orchid Jetsam, and Dahlia's Iris. The novels combine narratives of crimes and investigations typical of the detective genre with formal and linguistic disruptions developed and theorized by writers associated with Language Writing. This essay traces Scalapino's experimentation with the detective genre back to her confrontation with Language Writing's exclusionary emphasis on formal disruption, articulated most fully in her 1991 Poetics Journal dialogue with Ron Silliman. Drawing on Nel Noddings's and Judith Butler's theories of interdependence and care, it argues that Scalapino's detective stories foreground the constitutive nature of human vulnerability. In so doing, the essay extends Joan Retallack's, Małgorzata Myk's, and Michael Cross's recent studies of Scalapino's philosophical poetics. It proposes that Scalapino's critical engagement with the conventions of the detective genre informs her layered conceptions of being, experiencing, and conscious subjectivity and argues that her detective novels pursue a series of questions posed by Gertrude Stein and Walter Benjamin decades earlier: What roles do stories play in inspiring or inhibiting care? Given that vulnerability is a shared condition, who deserves care, and who is responsible for providing it? At what cost?

期刊介绍： Film Criticism is a peer-reviewed, online publication whose aim is to bring together scholarship in the field of cinema and media studies in order to present the finest work in this area, foregrounding textual criticism as a primary value. Our readership is academic, although we strive to publish material that is both accessible to undergraduates and engaging to established scholars. With over 40 years of continuous publication, Film Criticism is the third oldest academic film journal in the United States. We have published work by such international scholars as Dudley Andrew, David Bordwell, David Cook, Andrew Horton, Ann Kaplan, Marcia Landy, Peter Lehman, Janet Staiger, and Robin Wood. Equally important, FC continues to present work from emerging generations of film and media scholars representing multiple critical, cultural and theoretical perspectives. Film Criticism is an open access academic journal that allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose except where otherwise noted.
