身体何以能够写作

Why Can the Body Write

迄今为止的创作理论都把心灵视为创作活动的主体,认为身体只是文学创作的对象和工具,就连貌似激进的"身体写作"理论也不例外。这种观点乃是身心二元论思想的产物。从现象学的角度来看,身体而非心灵,才是创作活动的主体,不过这身体不是纯物质的肉体,而是肉体与心灵的统一体,是一种身体—主体。文学创作的基础不是心灵和自我对于世界的认知性观察,而是身体与世界之间的存在性交流。在这种交流中产生的感受和体验,构成了文学创作的题材和内容。在具体的创作活动中,作家通过自己的身体与虚构出的人物进行交流,从而把自身生成、变形为艺术形象。立足于这种身体经验,作家获得了自身的体验表达方式,从而把社会性、公共性的语言,调整、转换为具有自己特定风格的符号体系。

In the traditional theory of literature, soul of writer has always been regarded as the subject of writing, while body is only thought as implement and object, even the theory of ＂body writing＂ is no exception. In our opinion, this is the end of the dualism of body-mind. From the angle of phenomenology, body is the subject of writing, which is the unity of flesh and mind, in the other word, the body-subject. The basement of writing is not the epistemic observation of mind and ego, but the existential communication between body and world. The feeling and experience from this communication are the source of writing. During the writing, the writer also creates his figure through the communication between his body and figure. According his experience of body, the writer can transform the social language to personal system of symbol.
