»Biopolitika« uporabe ženskega telesa za rojevanje kot vzdrževanje nadzorovane družbe v žanru sodobne distopije

Utenkar, Pia (avtor), Matajc, Vanesa (mentor)

V diplomski nalogi bom pisala o položaju žensk in njihovih teles ter uresničevanju bioloških in socialnih dolžnosti, ki jim jih pripisujejo politike v literarnem svetu nekaterih sodobnih distopičnih romanov. S Foucaultevo teorijo »biopolitike« bom preučila prakse nadzorovanja življenj ljudi, predvsem žensk v romanih Deklina zgodba Margaret Atwood (The handmaid's tale, 1985), Filio ni doma Berte Bojetu (1990) in Šola za dobre matere Jessamine Chan (School for good mothers, 2022). Pri prvih dveh se bom osredotočala predvsem na predstavo biološke funkcije žensk kot objekta regeneracije in ohranjanja civilizacije. Pri Šoli za dobre matere pa bom raziskovala socialno razsežnost žensk kot mater v svetu, kjer je vzgoja lahko le pravilna ali nepravilna. V vseh treh romanih so prikazane tudi strategije discipliniranja in nadzorovanja, ki bistveno prispevata k utemeljitvi političnih sistemov v teh romanih.

Izvleček

In my thesis, I will write about the position of women, their bodies, and the realization of biological and social obligations imposed on them by the politics in the literary worlds of certain contemporary dystopian novels. Using M. Foucault's theory of »biopolitics«, I will examine the practices of controlling life, especially women in the novels: The handmaids tale by Margaret Atwood (1985), Filio is not at home by Berta Bojetu (Filio ni doma, 1990) and School for good mothers by Jessamine Chan (2022). In the first two, I will focus primarily on the biological obligation of women as objects of regeneration and preservation of civilization. In the novel School for good mothers, I will explore the social role of women as mothers in a world where parenting can only be right or wrong. All three novels also showcase strategies of discipline and surveillance, which significantly contribute to the justification of political systems in these novels.
