This study aims to investigate Angela Carter's demythologizing writing on motherhood in The Passion of New Eve. Though many critics of the text have concentrated on the socio-cultural constitutive of femininity and woman subjectivity, this paper emphasizes that Carter also criticizes bitterly the myth of naturalized and desexualized motherhood. In response to the contemporary radical feminists' discourses on mother/hood such as Rich's and Chodorow's, Carter focuses on not motherhood as an institution but motherng as a practice through the deviant characters out of the traditional family frame. While sexually aggressive Leilah defies the desexualized motherhood, Mother of Beulah demystifies the mother as Nature by exposing the artificiality of her maternal body and excessive motherhood. Above all, becoming-a-mother of transsexual Eve/lyn opens up the possibility of changes from motherhood as a myth to mothering as performative. In short, Carter's text intends to represent the mother/ring as the field where the biological and cultural discourses on women are crossing.
Abstract
This study aims to investigate Angela Carter's demythologizing writing on motherhood in The Passion of New Eve. Though many critics of the text have concentrated on the socio-cultural constitutive of femininity and woman subjectivity, this paper emphasizes that Carter also criticizes bitterly the myth of naturalized and desexualized motherhood. In response to the contemporary radical feminists' discourses on mother/hood such as Rich's and Chodorow's, Carter focuses on not motherhood as an institution but motherng as a practice through the deviant characters out of the traditional family frame. While sexually aggressive Leilah defies the desexualized motherhood, Mother of Beulah demystifies the mother as Nature by exposing the artificiality of her maternal body and excessive motherhood. Above all, becoming-a-mother of transsexual Eve/lyn opens up the possibility of changes from motherhood as a myth to mothering as performative. In short, Carter's text intends to represent the mother/ring as the field where the biological and cultural discourses on women are crossing.
