'The space where a thought would be': Anne Carson, women's writing and the reception of ancient Greek myth

我的研究通过女性主义思想的透镜探讨了在加拿大诗人、翻译家和古典主义者安妮卡森（B. 1950年）。我将展示女性主义话语是如何在卡森的神话创造中发挥核心作用的--重新解释和重写神话的创造性过程--这是一个在学术界基本上没有探索过的想法。我开始提出，卡森的翻译实践使用了后结构主义女性主义技巧，类似于朱莉娅·克里斯蒂娃的互文性和朱迪思·巴特勒的重新意义化，来重新解读异质规范的现代性。然后分析了卡森对弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫和西蒙娜·韦尔等女性作家借用古希腊神话来探索现代主题的借鉴。我的结论表明，卡森的写作实践为女性写作与古希腊神话之间的关系提供了新的理论见解。卡森的作品得益于西方古典传统的知识框架，她的作品在非学术界很受欢迎，特别是在欧洲和美洲。基层妇女团体将卡森的工作解释为社会变革的工具，卡森的工作提出了与当今社会中的性和性别少数群体有关的问题。我的研究将与学院以外的社区合作，并为解决不同形式歧视的公众参与计划做出贡献。

My research explores the reception of ancient Greek myth through the lens of feminist thought in the work of Canadian poet, translator and classicist Anne Carson (b. 1950). I will demonstrate how feminist discourse is central to Carson's mythopoesis - the creative process of reinterpreting and rewriting mythology - an idea largely unexplored in scholarship.I begin by suggesting that Carson's translation practice uses poststructuralist feminist techniques, akin to Julia Kristeva's intertextuality and Judith Butler's resignification, to enact a rereading of a heteronormative modernity. I thenanalyse Carson's references to female writers, including Virginia Woolf and Simone Weil, who have appropriated ancient Greek myth to explore the modern subject.My conclusion suggests that Carson's writing practice offers fresh theoreticalinsights into the relationship between women's writing and ancient Greek myth.While Carson's work is indebted to the intellectual framework of the Western classical tradition, her writing has found popularity with a non-academic audience, particularly across Europe and the Americas. Grassroots women'sgroups interpret Carson's work, which raises issues pertinent to sexual and gender minorities in today's society, as a tool for social change. My research will engage with communities beyond the academy and contribute to public engagement initiatives that address different forms of discrimination.
