SUBLIME SURRENDER: MALE MASOCHISM AT THE FIN-DE-SIECLE
Book ID/图书代码： 03360012B56257
English Summary/英文概要： When Heinrich Heine left his sick bed in 1848 and stumbled to the Louvre to fall before a statue of the goddess of beauty and lie in the pitying, cold glance she seemed to cast on his prostrate body, he defined a recurring motif of the second half of the nineteenth century, according to Suzanne R. Stewart. Directing her attention to the voice of the shriveled male body at beauty’s feet, she investigates the discourse by and about men that took hold in the German-speaking world between 1870 and 1940 and that articulated masculinity as and through its own marginalization. Male masochism, she suggests, was a rhetorical strategy through which men asserted their cultural and political authority paradoxically by embracing the notion that they were (and always had been) wounded and suffering. Stewart demonstrates and develops her contentions through close readings of the work of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Richard Wagner, and Sigmund Freud, in each case showing that the very act through which men sacrificed themselves to women comprised the essence of the new male subject "deeply penetrated by relations of political and sexual power." Masochistic scenarios, whether in literature, music, the visual arts, or medicalized diagnoses of the fin-de-siècle malaise, stage the male as one who submits, as Stewart explains, "to an aestheticized and eroticized gaze and voice."
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1848年，当海因里希•海涅离开他的病床，跌跌撞撞地爬到卢浮宫并最终倒在一尊美丽的女神雕塑前，使得女神怜悯和高贵冷艳的视线恰巧能够投射到他虚落不已的躯壳之上，根据苏珊娜•人•斯图尔特所述，她从中清楚了看到了再次萌发于19世纪后半叶的一种中心思想。她将注意力集中在这具倒在美的象征脚下的萎缩了的男性尸体所想要表达的内在涵义，她对这名男子在1870-1949年间在德国演讲界所进行的讲道以及有关于他的文章进行了深入的调查研究，并从这一与社会脱离的过程中清晰的感受到了其所要表达的男性极权主义。作者认为，男性受虐者只不过是采用了一种修辞策略，通过这样一种策略，男性们怀有着一种他们正在经受（并将永远经受）伤害与苦难的信念，从而确定其自相矛盾的文化权威和政治权威。通过详细地阅读和研究利奥波德•凡•扎赫尔•马赫佐、理查德•瓦格纳和西格蒙德•弗洛伊德的作品，她进一步呈现并深化了其论点，在每一个案例中，男性通过牺牲他们自己而获得艺术均包含有一个核心的新男性主题，这一主题“深受政治权利和性权利间相互关系的影响和渗透”。受虐场景的呈现，不论是在文学、音乐、视觉艺术作品，还是对世纪末隐忧进行医学式诊断的过程中，都会将男性描绘成，按照斯图尔特的阐述，一种臣服于某种具有美感或者情色的目光和声音。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况："一部令人印象深刻的作品。在创造性写作和世故的读物中，斯图尔特认为，受虐是男子在世纪末所采用的一种诡计，其目的便是营造出他们自己的边缘化的形象，从而确保其在新领域内的统治地位和霸权形象。正是对从精神性到精神与文化之间的关系的衍生分析体现出了这部作品的原创性和新颖性。"-卡洛琳•迪恩，作者，著有《自我与乐趣：巴塔耶、拉康和离题史》
"论述有力、结构紧凑。“-《选择》
"斯图尔特的研究为我们做出了很好的榜样，有关于如何正确的进行性别研究。"-《弗吉尼亚评论季刊》
"An impressive book. In creative and sophisticated readings, Stewart argues that masochism is a ruse by which men at the end of the century constituted their own marginality in order to secure their hegemonic position in new terms. The extension of analysis from the psyche to the relations between the psychic and the cultural mark the book’s originality."-Carolyn Dean, author of The Self and Its Pleasures: Bataille, Lacan, and the History of the Decentered Subject
"Cogently argued and tightly written."-Choice
"Stewart’s study is an example of how to do gender studies right."-Virginia Quarterly Review
