摘要

摘要:本文以尼尔·盖曼的《星尘》、《沉睡者与纺锤》和《骑士精神》为例，考察其童话改编中年龄和性别的交叉关系，以探讨幻想如何重申对老年女性的刻板印象。通过借鉴Sylvia Henneberg和Susan Pickard的年龄研究工作，将年龄歧视视为Gaiman作品中性别建构的一个横截面，我可以看到年龄如何影响性别的感知和建构，这可能导致年龄刻板印象和性别双重标准的交织。

No Country for Old Women: Age, Power, and Beauty in Neil Gaiman's Fantasies

Abstract:This essay uses Neil Gaiman's Stardust, The Sleeper and the Spindle, and "Chivalry," to examine the intersection of age and gender in his fairy-tale appropriations to consider how fantasy can reiterate stereotypical representations of older women. By drawing on the age studies work of Sylvia Henneberg and Susan Pickard to consider ageism as a cross-section to gendered constructions in Gaiman's works, I make visible how age affects perception and construction of gender, which can lead to the intertwining of age stereotypes and gendered double standards.

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.
