情欲悖论——当代小说与电影的情欲叙事比较研究

The Paradox of Amour: A Comparative Study of Erotic Narratives of Contemporary Fiction and Movies

在萨特看来,所谓爱情具有整合缺损的人性的功能,只是痴人说梦。与小说不同,改编影片中大多数的爱情从探勘人性回落到情感神话,出现了情感消费的现象。情欲确定了一个“惟我”的世界,从“我”出发欲望他人身体,更从他人身体出发体验自我的肉身。情欲核心的“惟我”性残酷地揭开了爱情织成的遮羞布。如果说情欲重在表明征服欲望敌视他人的破坏力量、与死亡体验的先天性联系,那么,色情则是在交换原则支配下另一种性爱的消费关系,色情批判在电影艺术中总停留在道德层面,而缺乏更为深刻的文化反思。

This paper may be seen as an attempt to confirm Jean Paul Sartre＇ s contention that the remedial power of love on mutilated human nature is but a myth. It studies a number of cinematic versions of important philosophical minded novels, arguing that many of these adaptations witness a pauperization of advenULreS in human nature into escapos into sentimental fairyland. There, desire has redefined a self-centered world. In this world the self signifies a desire for the other＇s body, which in turn reinforces the body of the self. The selfcentered nature of desire reveals what lies behind the veil of love. Just as the conquering power of desire is inextricably enmeshed with the experience of death, so the erotic is deeply rooted in a consurnerist relationship undcrpinned by the exchange principle.
