摘　　要：当代英国女性戏剧家汀布莱克·韦滕贝克的《夜莺的爱》藉身体叙述对古希腊神话故事进行现代式改写。剧作从独特的身体视角展现了父权社会权力机制与暴力压迫下,女性被禁锢、规训的境遇,进而凸现了女性身体内在的潜能,探讨身体抵抗的可能性、形式、意义和限度。古典神话改写在韦滕贝克的笔下具有了特别的政治内涵和伦理价值,身体叙述体现了剧作家的女性主义政治批评策略,成为唤醒女性主体意识的媒介。Contemporary British playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker rewrites the classical Greek myth of Tereus with the Love of the Nightingale. The play casts strategy of body narrative in her 1989 drama The limelight on the female body to show how women have been immured and disciplined by the power mechanisms of patriarchy and, more importantly, demonstrates the political potential of female body by exploring the possibilities and limits of women＇ s physical resistance. The act of myth rewriting thus achieves keen political significance and ethical value, confirming the body narrative as a key strategy in feminist criticism and activism.
