关于叙利亚的男性气质,小说能告诉我们什么?在这本书中,洛维萨·伯格探索了20世纪最后50年的20多部叙利亚小说。独特的是,她只对女性作家进行了调查,以从女性的角度衡量叙利亚女性对阳刚之气功能的认知方式的变化,以及某些对阳刚之气的态度对男性、女性、儿童和叙利亚社会的影响。从库利特·胡里到乌塞马·达维什,作者们的作品被分析,以探索叙利亚和中东对性别的态度变化,以及该国和该地区的政治动荡。我们看到20世纪50年代女性作家小说中理想化的男性形象逐渐被对父权制的更具批判性的描述所取代。最重要的是,通过小说的使用,我们看到了对叙利亚社会中男性霸权的大量批评,小说的作者们能够通过小说的使用,以一种现实中他们所无法接受的方式重新组织和质疑男性。这本书将引起当代叙利亚和阿拉伯文学、男性研究和女性研究学者的兴趣。
Masculinity and Syrian Fiction: Gender, Society and the Female Gaze
What can novels tell us about masculinity in Syria? In this book, Lovisa Berg explores over 20 Syrian novels covering the last 50 years of the 20th century. Uniquely, she examines only female writers in order to gauge the changing ways in which Syrian women perceived the function of masculinity, and the impact certain attitudes towards masculinity have on men, women, children and Syrian society, from a female perspective. The works of writers from Kulit Khuri to Usayma Darwish are analysed to explore changing attitudes to gender in Syria and the Middle East, as well as the political upheavals within the country and region. We see the idealistically portrayed men in the novels of female authors in the 1950s give way in time to a more critical depictions of patriarchy. Above all, we see through the use of novels a plethora of critiques of masculine hegemony in Syrian society, the authors of which are able with the use of fiction to reorganise and question maleness in a way denied to them in reality. This book will be of interest to scholars of Contemporary Syrian and Arabic Literature, Masculinity Studies and Women’s Studies.
