反性别的霸权模式而行之：重读《男孩不哭》和《穿越美国》中跨性别身份

论文摘要

长期以来,电影中展现的跨性别角色不是精神病患者,系列谋杀者,就是滑稽小丑。随着性别研究的不断发展以及同性恋和跨性别者等的运动,跨性别问题成为了研究批判性别体制的焦点,与此同时,尤其是90年代开始,越来越多的涉及跨性别群体主题的进步电影涌入我们的视线。这些电影不仅突显了跨性别群体的社会存在,并且影响着我们对于性别的固有观念。因而,借助于相关的酷儿理论,通过分析两部刻画跨性别人物的美国电影《男孩不哭》和《穿越美国》,本文旨在探究:(1)异性恋霸权是如何通过多样性的话语被披露的;(2)异性恋的规范是如何被电影中跨性别主角挑战及问题化的;(3)霸权文化是如何影响对电影的操作以及如何在霸权文化中以抵制霸权的姿态重建跨性别者的身份。致力于跨性别这个主题研究,本文旨在暴露自然化的性别政治的非真实性,试图去创造新的话语来增强跨性别弱势群体的话语权,从而呼吁抵制并撤销性别的霸权模式。此外,作者也旨在促使实现一个人们不再为各种既定身份尤其是二元对立的性别模式所束缚和困扰的社会。
