中文摘要:

在台灣每年向警方通報之家庭暴力案例超過四萬九千件，此數據代表著平均每天有三十六位家暴受害者在受害，其中女性受害者所占比例超過百分之八十六。證據顯示此社會議題並不侷限於某特定社會經濟體制也不受地域限制，且台灣的情形並不是特例。而在後現代之女性志異小說及電影中也對女性遭受家暴有所描述，其中，志異作品的其一特色便是情節充滿懸疑和驚悚。此類後現代女性志異小說及電影擅於描繪年輕受暴女性遭受男性加害者的虐待，及此勇敢之女英雄如何改變自己的命運，情節中受害者變為女英雄之角色轉換符合後現代女性主義之主張：將受害之女性主義轉為有力量之女性主義。有些後現代女性作者宣稱女性應對自身安全有責任，也將女性意象轉為強健而堅定充滿自信的。
本研究旨在探討《與敵人共枕》之小說及其改編電影對於家庭暴力與後現代女性主義之志異作品的異同，其中女性角色地位之轉換、家庭暴力之呈現以及志異作品中的恐怖情節之描述是本研究的重心，期盼藉由後現代女性主義之理論、志異作品之研究和家庭暴力之社會學理論，看見兩部作品之差異、其背後之成因與現實間之關係。
 

英文摘要:

In Taiwan, there are over 49,000 domestic violence cases which have been reported to the police per year, which means an average of 36 victims suffer from domestic violence every day. Female victims account for 86 per cent of all the domestic abuse. Evidence has shown that this social issue is not restricted within certain socio-economic or geographic borders and that Taiwan is not alone in suffering it. Furthermore, female domestic abuse is usually represented in the postfeminist Gothic novel
and film. It focuses on the sufferings of a young woman who is concurrently an abused victim tortured by a male villain and a courageous heroine who is able to change her misfortune. As a Gothic story, it demonstrates suspense and horror throughout the story. The movement from a victim to a heroine corresponds with the postfeminist proposal to replace the ‘victim’ feminism with ‘power’ feminism. Some postfeminists even advocate that women have responsibility for their own safety and that they can be imagined differently—as strong-willed and assertive. Therefore, the term ‘Postfeminist Gothic’ is used in this thesis.
This research is about domestic violence and Postfeminist Gothic in Nancy Price’s novel Sleeping with the Enemy (1987) and its adapted film. There are two main concerns in this thesis: one is about the movement from a victim to a heroine through the female protagonist’s confrontation with the male villain, and the other is about the representation of domestic violence in the novel through the gothic mode. To challenge the “victim” debate dominating the second wave feminist discourse and to analyze the representation of domestic violence, psychological differences and diverse behaviors of two sexes, and the change of the female protagonist before and after her home escape, this study will apply the theories of Female Gothic, the theories of postfeminist Gothic, the theories of Gothic films and the theories of domestic violence. By conducting this research, it is hoped that the domestic violence which may exist in some families could be spoken out and some aspects of postfeminists’ thought will gain more understanding.
