身體的凝視：論〈男孟母〉與〈萃雅樓〉中尤瑞郎與權汝修的身份建構

Body Gazing: On Identity Construction of You Ruilang and Quan Ruxiu in Three Migrations of Male Mengmu and Cuiya Tower

李漁的小說中並不避諱有關同性戀者的題材，以情節而論，在《無聲戲》與《十二樓》兩冊短篇小說編集中的〈男孟母教合三遷〉與〈萃雅樓〉兩篇，皆書寫了在當時男風盛行之情形下所發生的離奇事件，俱涉及有關男性的身體閹割以及易服的橋段。主人公面對多重身份的變化，如何在「閹割」這一行為下，形成跨越男、女性的過程，以及身體作為「身體」本身與包納裝扮在內的「身體」，如何成為讀者觀視作者刻畫主人公的另一個視角，其間交雜了男性與女性之間的性別遊移，以及「我」作為「人」，和「我」作為「物」被「他」與「我」不斷形塑的過程。故本文試就其中對尤瑞郎、權汝修的塑造，以身份建構中的變化與流動為徑路，觀照文本中角色的呈現。

Li Yu’s novels do not forbid the theme about homosexuality. Three Migrations of Male Mengmu〈男孟母教合三遷〉and Cuiya Tower〈萃雅樓〉in two short story collections of Silent Drama《無聲戲》））, and Twelve Towers《十二樓》depict bizarre events in a time when homosexuality was prevalent, involving male castration and transvestite. Readers can observe the protagonists’identity changes after“castration”, the transition of male and female, and the inclusion and dressing of“body”. This involves gender migration between male and female, and the constant shaping of“I”as a“person”or“thing”by“others”and“self”. This paper attempts to scrutinize the presentation of characters based on the shaping and identity construction of You Ruilang and Quan Ruxiu.
