摘　　要：在苏格兰当代作家阿拉斯代尔·格雷的小说《可怜的东西》中,女主角贝拉被诊断出患有“色情狂”和失忆症。以往的研究忽视了疾病与权力之间的复杂关系。小说中的疾病不仅是个人困境的表现,更是权力结构的反映。在身体政治背景下,疾病展现出多重含义。医学诊断表面上是治疗和恢复的措施,实则是操纵身体并使其正常化和医学化的工具。医学话语既通过纠正偏差来将女性纳入特定框架,又通过排斥的方式强化权力控制。这部小说表面上呈现了理想的女性主义,实质上却深刻揭示了女性主义幻象及女性的困境,探讨了女性在男性主导的医疗体系中的自我认同和自主权问题。In the Scottish contemporary writer Alasdair Gray's novel Poor Things(1992),the protagonist Bella is diagnosed with“erotomania”and amnesia.Previous research has often overlooked the complex relationship between illness and power.In the novel,illness is not only a manifestation of personal struggle but also a reflection of power structures.In the context of body politics,illness reveals multiple meanings.Medical diagnoses appear to be measures for treatment and recovery,but they are,in fact,tools for the manipulation,normalization and medicalization of the body.Medical discourse both incorporates women into specific frameworks by correcting deviations and reinforces power control through exclusion.While the novel superficially presents an ideal of feminism,it profoundly unveils the illusions of feminism and the dilemmas faced by women,exploring issues of self-identity and autonomy for women within a male-dominated medical system.
