摘　　要：在当代英国小说家A.S.拜厄特的短篇小说《艺术品》和《身体艺术》中,女性人物借助"装置艺术"这一后现代艺术形式,以现成品和人造品为材料,重新建构了经典神话中的女性身体形象,在真实与虚构接壤的艺术想象空间里表达了女性肉体承受的难言之痛。女性身体肌质的艺术改造/改写,因而承载了作家对日常生活中性暴力和身体政治的反思与揭露。'Art Work' and 'Body Art',two short stories written by contemporary British novelist A.S.Byatt,both register the presence of installation,a major form of postmodern visual arts since the 1960s.Through assembling a variety of meaningful ready-made objects and artifacts,the female artists in the two stories remold the female bodies in classical and religious myths,whose creativity lends voice to their bodily pains otherwise inexpressible.The artistically retextured female bodies thus emerge as a locus for Byatt to rethink and expose the sexual violence and body politics deeply ingrained in everyday life.
