这篇文章借鉴工人阶级的自传，解读了工人阶级作家在生活故事叙事中对家庭空间的微妙使用，以表明即使是小房子也可以由多个空间组成，这些空间具有特定但也不稳定的性别、年龄和情感相关的含义。在描绘工薪阶层家庭的性别复杂性时，这篇文章特别关注男性与作为父亲的家庭空间的关系。将生活写作视为文本，文章认为，女性、家庭和男性、缺席和公共空间的分叉模式摇摇欲坠，暴露了看似直截了当的性别世界和空间故事的额外层面的意义。这不仅扩大了在生活写作中解读工人阶级间接性的范围，而且突出了在体验语境中性别角色和空间的可塑性。
Drawing on working-class autobiographies, this article unpacks working-class authors’ subtle use of domestic spaces in life story narrative to suggest that even small homes could be made of multiple spaces that held specific but also fluid gender-, age-and affect-related meanings. In drawing out the gendered complexities of working-class homes, the essay focuses particularly on men’s relationships to domestic space as fathers. Approaching life writing as text, the article suggests that the bifurcated model of women, home and family vs men, absence and public space falters to expose extra layers of meaning to seemingly straightforward stories of gendered worlds and spaces. This not only expands the scope for interpreting working-class interiorities in life writing but also highlights the plasticity of gendered roles and spaces in experiential contexts.
