摘要: | 本文引申漫游者与卑贱物的概念,讨论李永平的《朱鸰漫游仙境》(1998),并厘清主人翁朱鸰等七名小女孩作为女性漫游者,如何影响了漫游体小说的内容与叙述特质。就漫游者的主体性而言,她们占据了一个区间的位置:一方面,她们不属于商品经济体系的一环,因而避免成为拜物的上班小姐或女性血拼者;另一方面,她们对成人世界的知识提供了批判现实的基础,拼贴出城市中色情工业、商品经济与政治权力之间的暧昧关系。妓女与嫖客威胁着保有童真的女性漫游者,但是色情行业所构成的炫目奇观,却也深深吸引着这群初初步入城市的孩童。政府一方面鄙弃色情行业为他者,以巩固自身的道德主体性,但另一方面却又无法否认色情行业对城市经济的贡献,而对其睁一只眼闭一只眼。最后,李永平的《雨雪霏霏:婆罗洲童年纪事》(2002)揭示:嫖客与妓女虽是漫游者眼中的卑贱物,但却不是可以完全客体化的他(她)者,反倒是男性恐惧与欲望的外射。然而,正因为漫游者拒绝承认嫖客即是他内心的卑贱物,嫖客永远在安全距离之外,成为逡巡的鬼魂;正因为漫游者对自身的欲望以及对女性的恐惧,妓女永远是无法理解的她者。她们终将如同鬼魂,面目模糊,可以被看见却不被了解。 Through the concepts of flâneur and abject, this paper examines Li Yongping's Zhu Ling's Adventures in Wonderland, highlighting the heroine Zhu Ling as a female flâneur, the configuration of the sex industry, urban economy and the government, as well as the stereotypes of prostitutes and punters. Better than her male counterpart, Zhu Ling directly engages and negotiates with urban space, discovering its dangers and excitements at the same time. Through streetwalking, Zhu Ling, like a sociologist, reveals Janus's two faces of the sex industry-as a disdained abject and as a fascinating spectacle-and configures an erotic map loaded with contradictions. In the view of the government, prostitutes are immoral subjects whereas prostitution contributes to the development of urban economy. The sex industry thus becomes an abject from which the self-claimed moral government wishes to, but always fails to distinguish itself-the abject always comes back to haunt the subject. Similarly, although the prostitutes and their patrons appear as others vis-à-vis flâneur the subject, the fear of the temptresses may in fact reflect the weakness of the male subject and the abjective patrons may be seen as a screen on which the subject projects his ugly desire and thereby disavows his inner demon haunting his mind and body. Therefore, prostitutes and punters can only appear in Li Yongping's work as stereotypes, as phantoms that are simultaneously visible and invisible. |
