Wong Kar-Wai's 2046: Topology of a Secret or Psychoanalytic Trap?

《2046》是一部有關秘密的影片，這個秘密穿透影片主角縈迴不去，但更重要的是，賦予他一種沈穩。此論文中我將試圖勾畫出－此一源自《春光乍現》中的苦戀，也是《2046》故事的主要核心－秘密的類型模式。視秘密為主要符號與使其象徵化的儀式之拉岡式分析使我能夠理解秘密主體的形成，尤其是，書寫作為其藉以再現痛苦的核心角色。是在此一書寫活動的脈絡下，電影之重要意象的以出現，即情緒反應延遲的機器人。秘密的類型模式之後將是兩部王家衛專家學者的討論。我儘量不將王家衛片中角色之情緒的障礙視為個人心理問題的徵狀，就如簡化的精神分析閱讀可能會引我們朝此方向。我將探索以下問題：為何王家衛以如此狡黠方式安排其影片中形式與情緒的障礙？經由對情緒反應延遲的機器人的細讀，我將展現王家衛晚期資本主義之抽象空間之再現策略如何產生出新的主體形式。

2046 is the story of a secret, a secret which goes through the hero of the movie and haunts him, but more important, gives him a composure. In this text, I will try to outline the topology of this secret that originates in the nonreciprocal love depicted in In the Mood for Love, and which constitutes the core of 2046's plot. This Lacanian analysis of the secret as a master signifier and the rite by which it is symbolized will permit us to understand the process of mise en consistance of the subject of the secret, and especially, the central role of his writing process in the attempt at representing his suffering. It is in the context of this writing process that will emerge the core figure of the movie, the android with delayed emotional reactions. This topology of the secret will be followed by a discussion of two Wong Kar-Wai's specialists, Peter Brunette and Ackbar Abbas. By resisting the temptation to read Wong Kar-Wai's characters' emotional dysfunctions as symptoms of their personal pathologies, as a simply psychoanalytical reading would lead us to, I will address the following question: Why has Wong so cleverly orchestrated these formal and emotional disjunctions in his films? Through a close analysis of the android with delayed emotions, I will show how Wong's representational strategy of the abstract space of late capitalism contributes to producing new forms of subjectivity.
