Political Sexual Deviance Images Martyrdom

项目摘要

The subject of this research is the way in which images of martyrdom became highly controversial in modern Britain through the process of their becoming enmeshed in political, religious and cultural disputes. Those who deliberately embraced suffering could be understood as heroes, as mentally unstable, or as perverts. This project focuses on two areas of such controversies. The first is the connections between martyrdom and political subversion through an examination of the interrelations between visual imagery and textual discourses of martyrdom and terrorism. The second is the way in which images of martyrdom, notably those derived from Roman Catholicism, helped to shape aspects of sexual dissidence such as the cultural formation of same-sex desire at the end of the nineteenth century. The key aims of this research are to connect together areas of scholarship carried out by those in history, art history and religious studies and to produce an interdisciplinary study of cultural formations which focus on the nineteenth century, but which pay heed to long-term historical trends and developments through to the present day.This research is the culmination of a project carried out by myself as sole researcher which was begun at Birkbeck, University of London in 2008. It is a development from my previous research project into the controversial reception of Anglo-Catholic material culture as morally subversive idolatry during the mid-nineteenth century, a reception which showed strong Protestant fears of links between political treachery and sexual subversion. This project builds on such understandings and, by so doing, argues that academics in a range of disciplines from political to cultural history, art history and religious studies can benefit from the development of work which highlights the interactions between political, religious and cultural formations. This research project aims to highlight key opportunities provided by thinking beyond conventional classifications of types of subversion such as heresy, treachery, terrorism and perversion by examining them in juxtaposition.

这项研究的主题是，殉难形象在现代英国如何通过卷入政治、宗教和文化争端的过程而引起高度争议。那些故意接受痛苦的人可以被理解为英雄、精神不稳定或变态。该项目重点关注此类争议的两个领域。第一个是通过检查殉难和恐怖主义的视觉图像与文本话语之间的相互关系来探讨殉难与政治颠覆之间的联系。第二个是殉难图像，特别是那些源自罗马天主教的图像，帮助塑造了性异议的各个方面，例如十九世纪末同性欲望的文化形成。这项研究的主要目的是将历史、艺术史和宗教研究领域的学术领域联系起来，对文化形态进行跨学科研究，重点关注 19 世纪，但同时关注迄今为止的长期历史趋势和发展。这项研究是我作为唯一研究员于 2008 年在伦敦大学伯克贝克分校开始的一个项目的顶峰。它是我的研究成果的发展。先前的研究项目涉及十九世纪中叶对英国天主教物质文化作为道德颠覆性偶像崇拜的有争议的接受，这种接受表明新教徒对政治背叛和性颠覆之间的联系感到强烈的恐惧。该项目建立在这种理解的基础上，并认为，从政治史到文化史、艺术史和宗教研究等一系列学科的学者可以从强调政治、宗教和文化形态之间相互作用的工作发展中受益。该研究项目旨在通过并列研究颠覆类型，如异端、背叛、恐怖主义和变态，强调超越传统分类的思维所提供的关键机会。
