英文摘要 | This article discusses Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus and Catherine Dunn's Geek Love, with particular emphases on their representation of the circus and the extraordinary body. Carter's and Dunn's renderings of the circus are intentionally double- faced: on the one hand, their circuses are highly Gothicized, characterized by grotesquery, monstrosity and subversion of normative aesthetic and moral values; on the other hand, their circuses abound in ritualistic spaces and acts, religious sentiments and mythic imageries. The two apparently contradicting sets of stylistic and ideological characteristics compounded, Carter and Dunn's postmodern circus novels seem to fantasize about a new possibility of "Gothick church"; it is not comprehended in the traditional architectural sense of "gothic", but rather in the sense that the circus serves as a profane church where the "Gothick Gods of Darkness" are worshiped and the late-twentieth-century revolutionized imaginations about transcendence are unleashed. Their fictions make sacredness and terror thoroughly blended and infiltrated into each other; the circus becomes the stage/altar for the rite of initiation into terrible truth to be "performed" (by the dubious freakish high priests as well as entertainers). In this manner, the several apparently distinct institutions-spectacle, religion and the Gothic genre-become merged, into one new kind of sensibility and cultural expression. Carter and Dunn transform the circus into the new form of "Gothick church," refreshing the artistic representation of the circus culture, complicating our understanding of the meaning of religion/holiness and enriching contemporary Gothic writings |
