ABSTRACT This paper employs the methodologies of feminism, new historicism and presentism to argue that Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus is a conflict between patriarchal and matriarchal voices. From a feminist standpoint, the verbal and physical violence the play enacts emanates from male figures’ deafness to the female voice. Shakespeare dismantles the virgin-whore dichotomy in the figures of Lavinia and Tamora, who mimic patriarchal prescriptions on female speech and silence and, in the latter case, the patriarchal speech of authority. Reading Titus alongside its historical context, I argue that this tragedy endorses the conventional association of woman’s speech with wantonness possibly in connection with cultural anxieties about Elizabeth’s public, often spectacular role. Titus Andronicus prefigures the new historicist ideology of containing opposing voices. The dominant male powers deliberately foster the subversive behaviour of others (Tamora, Lavinia, and Aaron) in order to crush them publicly and so assert their dominance. In addition to these methodologies, I deploy the critical thread of presentism to reveal trans-cultural and trans-historical continuities between the fictional world of Titus Andronicus and contemporary Palestine. For Palestinian scholars of English, this tragedy speaks of the gendering of nationalism as female in Palestinian national narratives, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, honour killing, and the construction of nation as narration.

暴力和侵犯:巴勒斯坦人在莎士比亚的泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯中解读强奸和报复

摘要 本文运用女权主义、新历史主义和现代主义的方法论,论证莎士比亚的《泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯》是父权制和母权制声音之间的冲突。从女权主义的角度来看,该剧所表现出的语言和身体暴力源于男性形象的耳聋到女性的声音。莎士比亚在拉维尼亚和塔莫拉的形象中打破了处女与妓女的二分法,他们模仿了对女性言论和沉默的父权制处方,在后一种情况下,模仿了权威的父权制言论。在阅读提图斯及其历史背景的同时,我认为这场悲剧支持了女性演讲与放荡的传统联系,这可能与对伊丽莎白公众的文化焦虑有关,通常是壮观的角色。泰特斯·安德罗尼库斯预示了包含反对声音的新历史主义意识形态。占主导地位的男性权力故意助长其他人(塔莫拉、拉维尼亚和亚伦)的颠覆行为,以便公开粉碎他们,从而维护他们的统治地位。除了这些方法论之外,我还运用了当下主义的批判线索来揭示泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯 (Titus Andronicus) 的虚构世界与当代巴勒斯坦之间的跨文化和跨历史的连续性。对于巴勒斯坦英语学者来说,这场悲剧讲述了在巴勒斯坦民族叙事、巴以冲突、荣誉杀戮以及作为叙事的国家建设中民族主义作为女性的性别化。和亚伦),以便公开粉碎他们,从而维护他们的统治地位。除了这些方法论之外,我还运用了当下主义的批判线索来揭示泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯 (Titus Andronicus) 的虚构世界与当代巴勒斯坦之间的跨文化和跨历史的连续性。对于巴勒斯坦英语学者来说,这场悲剧讲述了在巴勒斯坦民族叙事、巴以冲突、荣誉杀戮以及作为叙事的国家建设中民族主义作为女性的性别化。和亚伦),以便公开粉碎他们,从而维护他们的统治地位。除了这些方法论之外,我还运用了当下主义的批判线索来揭示泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯 (Titus Andronicus) 的虚构世界与当代巴勒斯坦之间的跨文化和跨历史的连续性。对于巴勒斯坦英语学者来说,这场悲剧讲述了在巴勒斯坦民族叙事、巴以冲突、荣誉杀戮以及作为叙事的国家建设中民族主义作为女性的性别化。
