旅途中的陌生人：施蟄存筆下的慾望試煉

本文通過閱讀分析施蟄存於1930年代創作的四個以鐵路旅行為背景的短篇小說，探討文學中的陌生他者問題以及由此引發的慾望試煉。區別於用精神分析等批評手法來解讀文本的通常做法，本文重構弗洛伊德學說與鐵路旅行之間的關聯，恢復理論背後的經驗，實現文本經驗與理論經驗之間的對話。在此基礎上，本文論證施蟄存筆下與陌生他者在旅途中的相遇其實是對小說主體進行的一項試煉：堅持主體慾望的男性無法通過試煉最終陷入否定現實的荒誕與瘋狂，而慾望破滅的女性放棄主體的幻象、以自我懷疑為代價保全了自身。

This essay analyzes the four short novels concerned with railway journey wrote by Shi Zhecun during the 1930s to discuss the interactions between strange others and modern subject in the trial of desire. visual experience of mobility and time. Previous interpretations intend to apply some given theory to the texts, for instance, the approach of psychoanalysis. In contrast, this essay places the experience of railway journey first and reconstructs the correlation between railway journey and Freudian's thought of uncanny to make dialogue between the literary experience and theoretical experience through examining Shi Zhecun's works. I argue that the encounter with strangers in Shi's writing is essentially a trial for the desire subjects: the modern male tourists failed the test since the gaze of subject resulted in the negation of reality and uncanny; the female tourists rejected the illusions of subject because of the ruined desires and survived through the trial at the price of misrecognized self-reflection.
