ABSTRACT This essay looks to the new materialisms to reconceive the material objects with which Fanny Price comes into contact, particularly those in the East Room at Mansfield Park. Though Fanny’s status lies somewhere between insider and outsider at Mansfield Park, by virtue of her curation, she and these objects all gradually gain vitality and agency. As Fanny curates first the Bertrams’ belongings in the East Room and later their lives, her status at Mansfield Park shifts her closer to becoming an insider. Through her care and arrangement, and through her esteem for those who have left their marks on these discarded and forgotten belongings, she reveals new meaning and value for the objects as well as for the Bertrams themselves. And as Fanny gains visibility through self-curation, the Bertrams and the Crawfords begin to take notice of her and to perceive her value. Fanny transforms from an object to be cared for into a lively thing to be cared about. By rethinking the boundaries between bodies and objects and by perceiving material objects as differently alive, this essay is a thought experiment in how a nineteenth-century novel can open up in new ways when read counterintuitively.

范妮·普莱斯对曼斯菲尔德公园热闹事物的策划

摘要 本文着眼于新唯物主义,以重新构思芬妮·普莱斯所接触的物质对象,尤其是曼斯菲尔德公园东厅中的对象。虽然范妮在曼斯菲尔德公园的地位介于局内人和局外人之间,但通过她的策展,她和这些物品都逐渐获得了活力和能动性。范妮先是在东厅策划伯特伦夫妇的财产,然后是他们的生活,她在曼斯菲尔德公园的地位使她更接近于成为内部人士。通过她的关怀和安排,以及对那些在这些被丢弃和遗忘的物品上留下痕迹的人的尊重,她为这些物品以及伯特伦本身揭示了新的意义和价值。随着范妮通过自我管理获得知名度,Bertrams 和 Crawfords 开始注意到她并意识到她的价值。范妮从一个被关心的对象变成了一个活泼的被关心的东西。通过重新思考身体和物体之间的界限,并通过将物质物体视为不同的生命,这篇文章是一个思想实验,探讨 19 世纪小说如何在反直觉阅读时以新的方式展开。
