Study On Som Aesthetics In The Novels Of Jeanette Winterson

The famous British novelist. Jeanette Winterson has received extensive attention from the critics and famous writers of all countries since the publishing of her first novel. The critics compete to compliment the natural creativity, wisdom and demeanor bursting out from her literary works. The language is selected cautiously and applied humorously in all her works; elegant and lingering poetry; and the mixture of narrative text with references and sparkling wise thoughts; as well as her perfect command of combination of all writing techniques including realism, modernism and postmodernism. Her works fit in with the literatry features, cultural contexts and trends of her age. Besides that, the characteristics of British literature at the turning point from the20th to the21st century, being diverse, perpendicular, horizontal and inclusive and serving as a link between past and future, are fully showed in her works.Soma and narrating have been two important themes in the works of the famous British novelist. Jeanette Winterson. who has alwavs devoted herself to the establishment of complicated narrating and somaesihetics in novels.Sexing the Cherry, Written on the Body and The PowerBook are her three representative works, in which the innovative and unique narrating fully presents the poetic and multiple constructions of "somaesthetics" in her works. Combining the theoretical connotation of "somaesthetics" proposed by Richard Shusterman in the1990s, her works are destructed constantly in this paper to highlight the theme of soma and ascend it to aesthetic level so as to make multiloop and intensive reading and analysis of the text in view of my own reading impression.This paper is expounded mainly in three chapters:The first chapter mainly discusses the hermaphroditic feminism writing and trans-space and trans-time somaesthetics appeal in Sexing the Cherry at three levels. This chapter is mainly composed of three parts:the first is the myth and fairy tale rewriting of feminism body. The author sets about breaking the male perspective and narrating in traditional myth and fairy tale, trying to establish a kind of female nan-ating authority and creating a feminism Utopia by describing the destiny of female characters. The second is to sketch the "hermaphroditic"’world in the name of feminism through the implicit deconstruction of uncanny fruits which labeled soma. The third is to interpret the trans-space and trans-time somaesthetics appeal comprehensively by combining the unique Spacetime in Relativity theory by Jeanette Winterson and penetrating multidimensional implications of soma awareness space.The second chapter mainly analyzes the soma in the desire narrating in Written on the Body at three levels, unearthing the perceptual aesthetics poem on soma renaissance written by the author. This chapter is made up of three parts:the first is the discussion taking diet as deliberate metonymy or implicit historical traditions and the interpretation of visual cognition addiction and broken narrating of soma based on that. The second is to ascend the soma narrating in the works to artistic physiology level for interpretation by argument from fallacy of scientific narrating. The artistic beauty of soma as a lost puppet and delicate vessel is drawn from the aspect of physiology. The third is to interpret the sensory aesthetics of perception debris experience by multiple constructions through the analysis of poetic texts of soma metaphor maze.The third chapter states the multidimensional somaesthetics construction in the grand narrating of The PowerBook at three levels. This chapter is made up of three parts:the first is to discuss the materialized, decomposed and fictitious soma constructed in the text through the analysis of postmodern narrating methodology in the works. The second is the interpretation of unreliable narrating of the narrative subject of decomposed soma, sketching the unique philosophical splendor endowed to soma awareness by the author. The third is the deep intetpretation of how "the body of love" serves as "the book of time" by combining the soma space aesthetics theory.The main theoretical framework of this paper is jointly formed by somaesthetics theory, psychology theory and narratology theory. The detailed reading method of the "New Criticism" school is adopted and the somaesthetics of works is deeply interpreted centering on the complicated and various texts by Jeanette Winterson from unique research perspective.
