摘　　要：自福柯提出"凝视"概念以来,"凝视"理论得到长足发展,并成为一个跨学科的热点议题。英国社会学家约翰·尤瑞在福柯"凝视"理论的基础上提出"游客凝视"理论,为分析旅行文学提供了一个新的切入点。当代英国作家玛格丽特·德拉布尔的最新短篇小说《永续年金》描写了一对英国夫妇在"游客凝视"的诱惑下与西班牙旅游公司签订了一份暗藏有"永恒"字样的旅游计划,从此走上了"永续年金"的不归路。本文分析了主人公艾尔莎夫妇如何在"游客凝视"的诱惑下形成了"自我理想"的伪主体身份,在"他者凝视"的众人之境中建构了异化主体,最后通过"女性凝视"对"男性凝视"的反抗达到女性主体的自我救赎。After Michel Foucault formulated the concept of'gaze,'it has been widely discussed as a hot interdisciplinary topic.Based on Foucault's'Gaze'theory,the British socialist John Urry introduced'Tourist Gaze'theory,which provides a new way to analyze travel literature.Margaret Drabble's latest short story,'Perpetuity,'describes a British couple who signed a contract with the Spanish travel agency with the word'perpetuity'embedded in it,because of which they had to pay the maintenance bill every year.This paper analyzes how the couple,Elsa and Robert,construct a false identity under the temptation of'tourist gaze',how they construct an alienated subjectivity in the mirror of'other gaze'and how Elsa gets self-salvation through'female gaze.'
