摘要
在《影子舞》中,卡特重访前拉斐尔派和超现实主义艺术,遴选出美杜莎、伊莎贝拉和露露三位被性别意识形态压迫的女性形象,通过艺格敷词再现其被规训和宰制的受难瞬间。受毕加索“变形”艺术的启示,卡特以女性观者视角将西方艺术对女性的视觉再现进行变形以颠覆其将女性界定为受难者/贞女或致命女人的价值观念和美学理念。借助画框、镜子和荧幕等媒介,卡特将三位女性的形象重构,绘就一幅表征当代女性成长史的三联画。这种跨媒介叙事的话语策略通过女性的怜悯而非男性的愤怒转变了主客体之间情感交流的姿态,把男性主体投射在客体身上的恐惧转换为女性视角下的敬慕,这是解读卡特作品尤为重要的互文线索。
In Shadow Dance, Angela Carter revisited the Pre-Raphaelites and surrealist art from the perspective of the female viewer, and selected images of femininity oppressed by gender ideology, such as Medusa, Isabella and Lulu, to represent, through ekphrasis, their suffering in instances where they are being disciplined and dominated. Inspired by Picasso’s cubist painting, Carter metamorphoses visual representations of women in Western art to subvert moral and aesthetic concepts that def ine women as victim(virgin) or femme fatale. Through frames, mirrors, screens, and sympathetic imagination, Carter reconstructed these images to paint a verbal triptych representing the history and growth of contemporary women. This strategy enables Carter to transform, through feminine compassion, the patriarchal fear projected on the object into admiration, and by so doing changes the mode of emotional communication between the sexes. This is crucial to reading of Carter’s intertextual works.
