被实践的家宅——《甜菜女王》中空间实践与社会关系重构
The Practiced Home—Spatial Practice and the Reconstruction of Social Relations in The Beet Queen
摘要: 在《甜菜女王》中,家宅是通过人物的日常空间实践被不断生产出来的社会关系结构,而不仅仅是天然的庇护所。本文采用文本细读法,结合列斐伏尔的空间实践理论,分析阿德莱德、斯塔与玛丽三位女性在不同家宅中空间的日常实践,指出以自我封闭为导向的空间实践如何阻断社会关系的再生产,而开放、以劳动为导向的空间实践则促成家庭与共同体的重建。家宅的意义并不取决于它是否被命名为“家”,而取决于人物如何在其中实践空间。
Abstract: In The Beet Queen, the home is not merely a natural shelter but a social structure continually produced through characters’ everyday spatial practices. Employing close textual reading and drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s theory of spatial practice, this article examines the daily spatial practices of three women—Adelaide, Sita, and Mary—within different domestic settings. It demonstrates how spatial practices oriented toward self-enclosure obstruct the reproduction of social relations, whereas spatial practices oriented toward openness and labor facilitate the reconstruction of family and community. The meaning of the home, therefore, does not depend on whether it is designated as “home”, but on how space is practiced within it.
