作者简介

《性别·种族·空间:伊迪斯·华顿游记作品研究》内容简介：伊迪斯·华顿是19世纪末20世纪初的美国女作家，著有关于意大利、法国和摩洛哥的游记共六部。这些游记作品不仅反映出她如何看待、再现异域景物，更揭示了她如何在文化他者的衬托下定义自我的过程，其文本充分展现了华顿在强烈的逾越冲动与难以抗拒的传统力量之间经受的张力，蕴含着相当的文化复杂性。 

《性别·种族·空间:伊迪斯·华顿游记作品研究》在结构上分为三部分。第一章从“影响的焦虑”谈起，论述华顿在难以出新的游记领域另辟空间时既反抗又妥协的做法；第二章以自我和他者的关系为切入点分析了华顿在描述异域景物方面显露出的既靠拢又排斥，既侵入又谦服，既高傲又恐惧的复杂心态；第三章围绕性别来检视华顿的女性观及其建构游记文本的方法，并从人称指代方面考察其女性叙述策略。

章节摘录

This paragraph-long quotation reveals Wharton's aesthetic approach. Instead of directing travelers' eyes to the central figures of paintings, she provides an alternative way to capture the unseen world in the distance, because, as she claims, the peripheral is the part that tells the real story. The way in which artists arrange the background sceneries betray their "conceptions of life and faith," reveal the particular idea that they have towards the world around them. In addition, the order of positioning cultural objects and the decision to include or exclude certain materials in the paintings suggest "a sophisticated ideological device that enacts systematic erasures" （Rose 87 ）. Therefore, the painting has actually become a representation of "visual ideology" （Rose 91 ）, an important critique of the artists' world.The idea of the central and the peripheral works not only with paintings, but also with the artists themselves. In her title chapter " Italian Background," Wharton picks up Tiepolo and his lesser known colleagues as an example. While Tiepolo is foregrounded by the popular travel books as a famous decorative artist, what is unnoticed is that he is also "a devotional painter. " Applying her aesthetic connoisseurship to the judgment of paintings, Wharton makes the assertion that in the light of Venetian painting "Tiepolo is seen to be the direct descendant of Titian and Veronese" （IB 207）. Extending her ideas further, Wharton moves on to other artists whose works are equally important to the study of eighteenth-century Venice.
