母性与语言:克里斯蒂娃的空间理论

Julia Kristeva’s Space(Chora) Theory

空间概念的哲学讨论,从柏拉图延续至当代女性主义哲人茱莉亚·克里斯蒂娃。克氏空间理论结合了语言学、精神分析学、文论、哲学和神学等多重资源,凸显了空间的孕育性和母性特质。作为欲望与驱力流域、前语言的符号性(母性)空间,营造着语言意义化、主体生成的前提,开拓了母性与父系、自然与文化、前主体与主体之间动荡互通的渠道。另外,克氏探索了哲学空间和圣母玛利亚的文化关联,母性空间是道成肉身的环境和条件。符号性空间或爱的空间,不仅是诗歌语言革命的动力之源,也是表现美的艺术的原型与基础。克氏的母性空间是关于言语主体、诗性语言和艺术本体的原空间理论。

Discussions on the concept chora,have continued from Plato to contemporary feminist Julia Kristeva.Kristeva attempts to highlight the nourishing and maternal attributes of chora within multiple academic horizons.Kristeva argues that as the pre-language maternal body full of drive and energy,the semiotic chora creates the precondition for signifying process and the subjecfs constitution and opens up the interval for the oscillations between the maternal and the paternal,nature and culture,pre-subject and subject.Kristeva also explores the connection between chora and the Virgin Mary,whose maternal body can be seen as the surrounding of the Incarnation.The semiotic chora supports the revolution in poetic language and acts as the archetype and substratum of western arts.Kristeva's thinking on maternal chora is the proto-space theory on the speaking subject,poetic language and art ontology.
