内容简介：
Introduction：
This lecture will critically analyse the essay by the French feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray, 'Women on the Market', and consider the significance of her ideas for gender theory more generally. We will examine Irigaray's notion of commodification and 'hom(m)o-sexuality' in relation to the concept of gender essentialism and gender construction. These ideas will then be used to discuss the representation of gender in the work of two nineteenth-century French artists, Jean-Léon Gérôme and Eduard Manet. We will look at the way in which women are represented as commodities, how male and female bodies are constructed, and how far the viewer is invited to consider his or her own participation in viewing gender. The final part of the lecture will focus on the short story 'Problems, Problems' by the Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann, a comic story in which a young woman performs the feminine role to extremes. We will consider how far the notion of gender performativity is helpful in understanding gender and in offering a critique of masculine and feminine gender norms.
本次讲座将批判地分析法国女权主义哲学家卢斯·伊莉格里的文章《市场中的女性》，探讨她的思想对于性别理论的意义。我们将会联系性别本体论和性别构建等概念考察伊莉格里的商品化和同性恋观点。这些观点将被用于讨论两位十九世纪法国艺术家让·莱昂·杰罗姆和爱德华·马奈的作品中的性别刻画。我们将会看到女性以何种方式被描绘成商品，男性和女性的身体如何被构塑，观赏者在考虑性别问题时会在多大程度上身临其境。讲座的尾声我们会关注奥地利作家英格堡·巴赫曼的一篇短篇小说《麻烦，麻烦》，文中一位女性将其性别角色发挥到极致。我们会思考性别扮演的观念在多大程度上对于性别理解和批判性别规范有所助益。
