“科幻渴望性别”:《珊瑚岛上的死光》及其在新时期的改编
“Science Fiction Yearns for Gender” : Death Ray on a Coral Island and Its Adaptations in the New Era
-
摘要: 《珊瑚岛上的死光》是童恩正初创于1964年、发表于1978年的科幻小说,在引发读者广泛阅读兴趣的同时,也以其华侨科学家形象和科学救国主题赢得了主流文学评价体系的认可,在发表伊始就被多种媒介技术所改编。女科学家形象、女性解说声音、驾驶机车的现代女性与拯救者形象以及情感因素等在广播剧、电影中的添加,凸显了童恩正小说中纯粹由男性角色、男性叙述者构成的高科技发明与帝国霸权斗争故事中所体现出的现代科技、帝国霸权与男性气质三者合一的科学—性别体系。女性编导的改编一方面体现了广播剧、电影等大众媒介技术对于性别的渴望,另一方面,女性人物、女性声音在科幻世界的嵌入,也暗合了新时期对被压抑的人性、人情世界的呼唤,悄悄改变了小说对于科学的阶级意识形态的理解,而呈现出这个“和尚剧”及其改编中的性别意识形态内涵。女性主义的科技研究视角,让我们重新思考科学、科幻的本质。Abstract: Death Ray on a Coral Island is a science fiction novella initially conceived by Tong Enzheng in 1964 and first published in 1978.While the work attracted a broad readership,it also gained recognition within the mainstream literary evaluation system through its portrayal of overseas Chinese scientists and its theme of " Saving China through Science".From the moment of its publication,the novella was adapted into multiple media forms enabled by contemporary media technologies.The addition of female scientist characters,female narrative voices,modern women riding motorcycles,savior figures,and emotional elements in radio dramas and films highlights the integration of modern technology,imperial hegemony,and masculinity within the science-gender system—a system embodied in Tong Enzheng's original story,which features solely male characters and narrators in its tale of high-tech invention and struggles against imperial power.On one hand,adaptations by female directors and screenwriters reflect the gendered aspirations of mass media technologies such as radio dramas and films.On the other hand,the embedding of female characters and voices into the sci-fi world aligns with the New Era's call for the repressed aspects of humanity and emotional life.This subtly transforms the novel's class-ideological understanding of science,revealing the genderideological connotations within this "all-male drama" and its adaptations.From the perspective of feminist science and technology studies,we are prompted to reconsider the nature of science and science fiction.
