商品描述
This book explores diverse signifying processes of objects embedded with paradigmatic class discourses and various subjective situations derived from those signifying objects within social and cultural contexts in Sarah Waters’ novels. Sarah Waters, the British contemporary novelist, is best known for her novels set in Victorian society and featuring lesbian protago¬nists. Waters’ criticism on the underlying indeterminacy between class imagination and class reality constructed as the ostensible solidification of social ladders in Victorian society is pervasive and profound although her works are conventionally categorized as historical fictions or lesbian novels. Employing critical concepts concerning objects and things, this book proves Waters’ figurative particularities and heterogeneities of objects may contribute to an innovative scope of a materialisation of class and a significant influence upon contemporary material culture studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了在社會和文化背景下，薇薇安·沃特斯（Sarah Waters）小說中嵌入的典範類別話語及其衍生的各種主觀情境所涉及的多樣意義過程。薇薇安·沃特斯是英國當代小說家，以其設定在維多利亞社會並以女同性戀主角為特色的小說而聞名。儘管她的作品通常被歸類為歷史小說或女同性戀小說，但沃特斯對於維多利亞社會中社會階梯表面固化所構建的階級想像與階級現實之間潛在不確定性的批評是普遍而深刻的。本書運用有關物體和事物的批判性概念，證明沃特斯對物體的比喻特性和異質性可能對階級的物質化提供創新的範疇，並對當代物質文化研究產生重要影響。
