Summary This article contends that both Gender and Jesus can be seen as allegories through which we can observe the puzzle of incarnation as experienced by humans as subjects. The idea that Jesus may be seen as an allegory for the agonies of embodied consciousness and, ultimately, as a form of existential allegory is suggested by two novels by J.M. Coetzee that enigmatically deploy the name of Jesus in their titles, The Childhood of Jesus and The Schooldays of Jesus. Gender as allegory is supported by the work of Jacques Lacan, Judith Butler, and Camille Paglia. These theorists' postulations also explore the intersection between corporeality and the socio-symbolic means that attempt to account for it. Special consideration is given to transgender individuals insofar as they might highlight the problematic nature of incarnated subjectivity. The paper further posits a parallel between trans subjects and Jesus in that both reveal the traumas and opportunities that occur along the frontier between being and meaning where an existential form of allegory can be said to take place.

性别和耶稣作为寓言

总结 本文认为性别和耶稣都可以被视为寓言，通过它们我们可以观察人类作为主体所经历的转世之谜。JM 库切 (JM Coetzee) 的两部小说暗示了耶稣可能被视为体现意识痛苦的寓言，并最终被视为一种存在寓言形式的想法，这两部小说在其标题中神秘地使用了耶稣的名字，《耶稣的童年》和耶稣的学生时代。作为寓言的性别得到了雅克·拉康、朱迪思·巴特勒和卡米尔·帕格利亚的作品的支持。这些理论家的假设还探索了肉体与试图解释它的社会象征手段之间的交叉点。跨性别者可能会突出化身主观性的问题性质，因此会特别考虑他们。
