Abstract:Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein is essential reading in the literature of disability. Rejected and abandoned by a creator who manufactured him to be beautiful, the Creature’s plotline suggests a parent’s abandonment of a child with unexpected disabilities and later denial of the disabled adult’s sexual and reproductive agency. The Creature’s first-person narrative of rejection, exclusion, and stigma suggests an experience of learning to inhabit a strictly limited, socially constructed disability identity. Often read as a story about the bioethics of medical and scientific research, Frankenstein has even greater value as a text about the social construction of disability.

天生如此：阅读残疾弗兰肯斯坦

摘要：玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特·雪莱 (Mary Wollstonecraft) 的弗兰肯斯坦 (Frankenstein) 是残疾文学中的重要读物。被一个将他塑造成美丽的创造者拒绝和遗弃，这个生物的情节暗示父母遗弃了一个意外残疾的孩子，后来又否认了残疾成人的性和生殖能力。该生物关于拒绝、排斥和污名的第一人称叙述暗示了一种学习适应严格限制的、社会建构的残疾身份的经历。通常作为关于医学​​和科学研究的生物伦理学的故事被阅读，弗兰肯斯坦作为关于残疾的社会建构的文本具有更大的价值。
