Control Mechanisms: Pornography,Theatre and Subversion in Santa Fe Province during the Last Argentine Military Dictatorship

This paper examines a case of cultural repression during the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976–1983). It studies actions carried out by law enforcement officers in response to a denunciation against a group of teachers in a small town in Santa Fe that had participated in a play characterised as ‘pornographic’, and who were finally accused of left-wing propaganda and ‘subversive’ activities. This case offers an opportunity to review the relationship between immorality, pornography, communism and ‘subversion’. Since the Cold War, these issues have been used in Latin America to construct an internal enemy and create governmental mechanisms and regulations for detecting and controlling its actions, and penalising the population in general.     

后现代女性主义视角下的《琐事》

在拉康的象征秩序中,男性是超验的能指,女性扮演的角色是男性主体的"他者"、客体,是从属于男性主体的边缘人物,而边缘的内涵就是被统治、被压抑和被排斥.在《琐事》中,格拉斯贝尔却解构了这种格局,她将女性从男性主体中剥离重建,从被男性中心的意识形态"异化"的状态中解救出来,让女性从一个被动客体转变成具有自我意识的主体,从而颠覆了女性的绝对服从地位,也颠覆了男性的权威.本文拟从后现代女性主义文学批评的视角出发,尝试分析《琐事》中的两性关系和同性关系,揭示格拉斯贝尔对男性神话的消解.
