本文以一个皇家“性别问题”为例,即弗里德里希二世在一本通俗历史书中的再现:弗朗茨·库格勒和阿道夫·门泽尔的《腓特烈大帝史》(1842)。本文简要概述了弗里德里希二世身体的政治工具化,然后与“情感战场”的代表性。分析表明,这些“情感战场”如何成为作家和艺术家展示弗里德里希的混合性别的舞台。最后,我们结合书中的政治议程,以及更广泛地说,对漫长的十八世纪中的战争、国王和权力的描述,来讨论这种混合。
This article engages with a case of royal ‘gender trouble’, namely, the representation of Friedrich II in a popular history book: Franz Kugler and Adolph Menzel'sHistory of Frederick the Great(1842). The article offers a brief overview of the political instrumentalisation of Friedrich II's body, and then engages with the representation of ‘affective battlefields.’ The analysis shows how these ‘affective battlefields’ become a stage on which writers and artists could display Friedrich's hybrid gendering. This hybridisation is finally discussed with reference to the book's political agenda, and, more broadly, representations of war, kings and power during the long eighteenth century.
