摘要
自传作家往往从特定身份出发来再现自我。史蒂芬·威廉·霍金虽患肌萎缩侧索硬化症,困于轮椅数十载,却在理论物理界成就斐然,这一身残事伟的形象令人印象深刻。然而,在霍金自传《我的简史》中疾病叙事鲜有出现。基于此,本文从作者、读者和身份寓意三个角度探究霍金自传的身份主题。本文发现,建构成功者身份、“隐瞒”残疾身份以及控诉医学和残疾话语是这部自传的突出主题,这反映了霍金剥离医学和残疾对身体的规训以实现正常人身份认同的努力。
Self-presentation in an autobiography always starts from a certain identity.Stephen William Hawking was a patient of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and decades of his life was spent in wheelchair.His great breakthrough in theoretical physics together with his disability has attracted the whole world’s attention.However,rarely did Stephen Hawking narrate his disability in his autobiography My Brief History.On this basis,this article tends to explore its themes of identities from the perspectives of the writer,the readers and the identities’connotations.It is this article’s finding that constructing a successful identity,hiding the disabled identity and denouncing medical and disability discourses are the autobiography’s main focus.These themes reflect Stephen Hawking’s efforts of stripping off discourse discipline as such to identify his normalcy.
