ABSTRACT Cynewulf’s Juliana has long been the subject of feminist criticism, particularly focusing on the moments when Juliana claims power and agency in enclosure, even in her imprisonment. This article reevaluates Juliana’s claims to power and agency from the perspective of modern critical theory and pragmatics, arguing that Juliana uses place-deixis to claim her body as a sovereign space, challenging the secular and political authority imposed upon her by her pagan father, her fiancé, and the emperor. These authorities force Juliana to move physically — first from her household, then to court, and then to different locations where she is tortured and imprisoned. However, her bodily movement contrasts not only with her spiritual fixity, but with her continuing sovereignty over the space of her body. Place-deixis and spatial imagery work with references to God’s all-encompassing physical presence to redefine “power the relationship” and dwarf the limited authority that earthly authorities seem to wield.

Cynewulf的朱莉安娜(Juliana)中的运动,空间和力量

摘要塞纽弗的朱莉安娜(Juliana)长期以来一直是女权主义批评的主题,尤其关注朱莉安娜(Juliana)要求封闭的权力和代理权的时刻,甚至是她入狱的时刻。本文从现代批判理论和语用学的角度重新评估了朱莉安娜对权力和代理权的主张,认为朱莉安娜利用地名来宣称自己的身体为主权空间,挑战着异教父亲她赋予她的世俗和政治权威。未婚夫和皇帝。这些当局迫使朱莉安娜(Juliana)亲自出走,首先是从家中搬到法院,然后再到遭受酷刑和监禁的其他地方。但是,她的身体运动不仅与她的精神固执形成鲜明对比,而且与她对自己身体空间的持续主权形成鲜明对比。
