项目摘要

This project links theories of posthuman embodiment and representations of gender in postwar British fiction by recognising an embedded, relational body as a radical presence in the fiction of Muriel Spark, Barbara Comyns, Barbara Pym and Angela Carter. My approach facilitates a new understanding of the becoming-subject in fiction that spans the margins of human and posthuman conceptions of being. The project works with the metaphysics of Gilles Deleuze and the theories of Feminist New Materialism to uncover the presence of an emerging posthumanism, characterised by moment-to-moment actualisation and shifting materiality. In paying particular attention to the gendered subject, it demonstrates that a posthuman becoming is realisable from within a human paradigm, bringing human and posthuman into critical conversation. In doing so, it articulates a previously unheard challenge from fiction of this period to liberal humanism, a challenge which integrates both a critique of gendered power and a relationality which transcends the dualities of masculine/feminine and human/posthuman.The research questions are:1. How does fiction embody a posthuman becoming-subject within a human paradigm?2. What is the role of an interconnected body in fiction which crosses the boundary between human and nonhuman?3. What is the relationship between narrative and the body in fiction which challenges the category of human?4. What does an investigation of fiction from this period tell us about how the human is conceptualised in post-war culture?

该项目通过认识到嵌入的、关系性的身体是穆里尔·斯帕克、芭芭拉·科明斯、芭芭拉·皮姆和安吉拉·卡特小说中的激进存在，将战后英国小说中的后人类体现理论和性别表征联系起来。我的方法促进了对小说中跨越人类和后人类存在概念边缘的生成主体的新理解。该项目与吉尔·德勒兹的形而上学和女性主义新唯物主义理论合作，揭示了一种新兴的后人类主义的存在，其特点是即时的实现和不断变化的物质性。在特别关注性别主题时，它表明后人类的形成可以在人类范式内实现，从而将人类和后人类带入批判性对话。在此过程中，它阐明了这一时期的小说对自由人文主义的前所未闻的挑战，这一挑战融合了对性别权力的批判和超越男性/女性和人类/后人类二元性的关系。研究问题是：1。小说如何体现人类范式中的后人类成为主体？2．在跨越人类与非人类界限的小说中，相互关联的身体扮演着什么角色？3．挑战人范畴的小说中叙事与身体的关系如何？4．对这一时期小说的调查告诉我们什么关于战后文化中人类是如何概念化的？
