摘要
阿特伍德在《使女的故事》中着力刻画了育龄女性遭受的身体规训,然而她们身体规训与混杂身份的内在关联却鲜为学界关注。本文从元空间的维度出发,探讨了育龄女性的身体被技术极权具身虚拟化的过程。在此过程中,部分育龄女性的身体被异化为“乌托邦无意识”的物质符号,其身份被迫在“他创生机器(真身)—使女(具身)—渴望身体自由的母亲(化身)”三重维度间周旋,最终指向乌托邦讽喻式存在。从空间与技术交互的视角解读《使女的故事》,不仅揭示了科技革新背景下身体权力控制的新形态,更是对技术异化的深刻警示。
Margaret Atwood meticulously depicts the bodily discipline imposed on women of childbearing age in The Handmaid’s Tale.Nevertheless,the intrinsic connection between bodily discipline and identity has received scant scholarly attention.This paper examines,through a meta-spatial lens,how the totalitarian regime employs technologies to enact embodied virtualization on fertile female bodies.These bodies are alienated into material symbols of the“utopian unconscious,”while their identities are forcibly fragmented across three dimensions:the allopoietic machine(original body),the handmaid(embodied body),and the mother yearning for bodily freedom(avatar).This fragmentation culminates in an absolute utopian allegorical existence.By interpreting the novel through the interactive framework of space and technology,this study unveils new paradigms of power trepidations over female body under technological innovation and profound critique over technological alienation.
