各类身体研究把身体看成是社会文化的某种建构,但对作家笔下的身体应首先是一种文本建构的事实重视不够。为此,在修辞文化学的基础上提出了身体修辞文化批评,认为身体文本叙述、修辞和社会文化之间是密不可分的。通过对现代主义文学进行范例分析,我们发现存在雌雄同体、欲望化或色情化的女性身体、死亡身体以及残损和疾患的非自然化身体等四种重要的身体叙述类型。对这四种类型进行修辞文化意义的考察,从中可看出身体的文学与文化话语传统对当前文本的影响,身体叙述传递出的文化多元性和作家秉持的文化政治立场。 Various kinds of body studies regard the body as some kind of construction of social culture, but not enough attention is paid to the fact that the body of a writer should first construct a text. Therefore, based on the rhetorical and cultural studies, this paper puts forward the rhetorical and cultural criticism of the body and holds that there is a close relationship between body text narration, rhetoric and social culture. Through the analysis of modernist literature, we find that there are four important types of body narration, such as hermaphroditism, desire female or erotic female body, dead body, unnatural body with damaged or diseased body. The four types of rhetorical and cultural significance of the inspection, we can see from the body of the traditional literary and cultural discourse on the current text, the physical description of the cultural diversity and the writer upholds the cultural and political positions.
