ABSTRACT

Many have struggled to argued whether Rachilde reverses gender binaries or reinforces them by ensuring the continuation of active and passive partners within the narrative of Monsieur Vénus. However, both foundational and recent turns in queer theory regarding heterosexuality present gender non-conformity as a result of a fluidity of gender performance, rather than one based on an opposing binary. This article deals with Rachilde’s ambiguous approach to gender, by focusing on different moulds of masculinity. I take a step back from critical approaches which necessarily read her oeuvre in the light of the gender binary, and ‘requeer’ her work by presenting the ‘norm’ of heterosexuality in a non-normative light.

摘要

许多人一直在争辩说，拉伊德（Rachilde）是通过确保在维努斯（MonsieurVénus）叙事中保持主动和被动伴侣的延续来扭转性别双轨还是加强性别双轨。但是，有关异性恋的同志理论的基础性和近期性转折都是由于性别表现的流动性而导致的性别不符合，而不是基于相对的二元性。本文着眼于不同的男性气质，探讨了拉伊尔德对性别的模棱两可的方法。我从批判性方法中退了一步，这些方法必定会根据性别二元分析来解读她的作品，并通过以非规范性的眼光呈现异性恋的“规范”来“要求”她的工作。
