摘要

一如諸多女性主義者，葉麗內克深信，女人並非天生為女人，而是後天形塑而成。對她而言，女性性別認同一般純屬複製或虛構之結果，蓋因女性與女體總是經由既定權力體制以論述的、社會的、政治的及醫療的形式一再地（複製）生產或（重新）建構。易言之，女性與女體僅為此複雜建構所操控之後果。於女性與女體慣常（透過如傅柯所言之論述行為與實務運作而）遭誤解為自然事物之同時，人們大多將之與深具意識型態之形象混為一談。本文旨在探討此一複雜議題，並嘗試藉助傅柯之論述解析，男性權力壟斷於劇作《疾病或現代女人》中如何於性愛、家庭、社會、政治與醫療等諸多向度中將女性與女體功能化。

Like a lot of feminists, Elfriede Jelinek advocates the opinion that a woman is not born as a woman, but is/will be made into one. According to Jelinek the identity of the female sex is generally just a reproduction or a fiction, because she believes that the woman and the female body are always (re-)produced or (re-)constructed by the current power system discursively, socially, politically and medically. Consequently, they are virtually taken as manipulated results of these complex constructs. Since the woman and the female body are always misunderstood as natural beings (according to Foucault's theories, especially during discourses and practices), they are mainly mistaken for ideological images. Basing on Foucault, the research tries to analyze these complex themes and shows how the male monopoly of power functionalizes the woman and the female body in Jelinek's drama Krankhei oder Moderne Frauen on sexual, family, social, political and medical level.
