后主体的伦理学僵局:论《逃离》中的丧失主题

Reading the Theme of Loss in Alice Munro's “Runaway”

门罗的短篇小说《逃离》表现出女性在21世纪面临的多重伦理困境:要求个体成为强健主体的自律性话语沦为无法企及的神话;被解构后,主体失去稳固的根基而遭遇存在的虚无;如果接受虚无及自己存在的无意义,个体就很难做到诗意的栖居;他者伦理或许可以克服虚无,却又会让个体失去自由。

Through narrating the unsuccessful runaway of Carla in her story ＂Runaway＂, Alice Munro demonstrates the ethical dilemma of women in the 21 st century. The ethic of autonomy, which requires absolute will of the subject, ends up as a myth. If accepting one＇s notuingness-in-the-world, however, the human being cannot dwell poetically. Caring for the other may on the one hand enables one to overcome the sense of meaninglessness but, on the other hand, may deprive a woman of her freedom.
