摘要

摘要:本文主要探讨了博物馆原型作为安吉拉·卡特小说的主要主题和叙事引擎。我探索了不可分类的、怪异的、不可思议的物品的混合收藏是如何以各种形式出现的，从文艺复兴时期的奇珍异宝到维多利亚时代的畸形秀，再到超现实主义的发现物品组合展览——每一个都在卡特的作品中被虚构出来。我的观点是，卡特对原始博物馆组合的兴趣揭示了她对事物秘密生活的好奇心。她的议程是表现人类主体和无生命的物体，它们在相互作用的平等层面上纠缠在一起，劫持了意识形态上投入的男性目光，这种目光旨在对物化的他人拥有占有欲和暴虐的所有权。在这个激进的民主化修订项目中隐含的“古怪的外表”与卡特一生都致力于的社会主义女权主义政治有关。

The Secret Life of Things: Queering the Museal Gaze in Angela Carter's Postmodern Curiosity Cabinets

Abstract:The essay focuses on the proto-museum as a major leitmotif and narrative engine of Angela Carter's fiction. I explore how hybrid collections of uncategorizable, monstrous– marvelous objects take a variety of forms, from the Renaissance cabinet of curiosities to the Victorian freak show or surrealist exhibitions of found object composites—each fictionalized in Carter's oeuvre. My contention is that Carter's interest in proto-museal assemblages reveals her curiosity about the secret life of things. Her agenda is to represent human subjects and inanimate objects enmeshed on equal planes of reciprocal interactions that hijack the ideologically invested male gaze that aims at a possessive, tyrannical ownership over the objectified othered. The "queering of the look" implied in this radically democratizing revision project ties in with Carter's socialist feminist politics to which she has remained committed throughout her life.

期刊介绍： Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
