Abstract

Naoki Prize-winning writer Kirino Natsuo’s socially transgressive approaches to female sexuality have attracted both praise and consternation. Throughout Kirino’s career, she has offered a series of narratives that some have argued can be read as ostensibly validating phallocentric sexual fantasies of female masochism. However, I argue that it is through complicating these pornographic formulas of dominance and submission that Kirino ultimately channels representations of taboo sexual practices into a critique of patriarchal culture, thus subverting such narratives of sexual gratification at the expense of women’s exploitation. Her characters’ sensual indulgence can therefore be read as being truly transgressive. Indeed, the very limitations of gendered power dynamics in society are exposed through Kirino’s characters’ unsettling sexual and psychological bonds with each other. In particular, her male characters’ sadomasochistic practices serve to facilitate the female characters’ reflections on their own identities and their relationship to the patriarchal structures that surround them. To this extent, Kirino’s narratives’ deployment of sexual elements and gender relations parallel that of postwar female writers.

黑色的五十度:女性受虐狂和进化中的男性特征作为桐野夏夫写作中的文化批判

摘要

直木奖获奖作家 Kirino Natsuo 对女性性行为的社会越轨方法引起了赞誉和惊愕。在 Kirino 的整个职业生涯中,她提供了一系列叙述,有些人认为这些叙述可以被解读为表面上证实了女性受虐狂的以阳具为中心的性幻想。然而,我认为,正是通过将这些支配和服从的色情公式复杂化,麒麟最终将禁忌性行为的表现转化为对父权文化的批判,从而以牺牲妇女的剥削为代价颠覆了这种性满足的叙述。因此,她的角色对感官的放纵可以被解读为真正的越轨。的确,Kirino 笔下的人物之间令人不安的性和心理联系暴露了社会中性别权力动态的局限性。特别是,她的男性角色的施虐受虐行为有助于促进女性角色反思自己的身份以及他们与周围父权制结构的关系。就此而言,桐乃的叙事对性元素和性别关系的运用与战后女性作家的叙事相似。
