Abstract: | 本論文閱讀愛爾蘭小說家伊米爾‧麥克布萊德分別於2013年和2016年出版的兩本著作,《半成品女孩》(暫譯)和《小波西米亞人》(暫譯),將其視為成長故事和創傷敘事。麥克布萊德的文字獨樹一格,充滿破碎的單字和斷裂的句法,體現了性虐待如何摧毀心智和語言,並直探入身體經驗和創傷,嘗試突破疼痛的激進內在性。本論文將兩本小說視為一體兩面,它們探問在充滿惡意、阻礙個人成長的環境中,主體形成如何可能。在《半成品女孩》中,無名主角的內心獨白顯示她無力將創傷經驗外部化,而這樣全然的、深沉的社會孤立最終導致她的主體性和生命都無法成形。相反地,在《小波西米亞人》中,兩位主角之間的對話則指出生存的可能性來自於見證和回應他人創傷的他異性。因而,面對創傷,這兩本小說提出了一種關係式的主體形成模式。本論文更進一步分析故事中被消聲的母親,並主張她們的存在揭示了自我與他者之間的權力失衡是各種形式的壓迫和創傷的潛在起源,往往走向抹除他者或迫害自我的極端。 In this thesis, I read the works of the Irish novelist Eimear McBride, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing (2013) and The Lesser Bohemians (2016), as failed stories of development and trauma narratives. Marked by truncated words and broken syntax, McBride's elliptical style enacts the impacts of sexual abuse on language and human psyche, and penetrates to the core of bodily experience and trauma, breaking out of the radical interiority of pain. Read together, Girl and Bohemians are two sides of the same coin, as they explore alternative models of subject formation in a hostile environment that hinders maturation. In Girl, the nameless girl's interior monologue shows that she is incapable of externalizing trauma, and her profound isolation culminates in her half-formed identity and life. By contrast, in Bohemians, the conversation between the two protagonists indicates that survival is possible through the witnessing of trauma based on the responsibility towards the other's alterity. A relational model of subjectivity, then, is needed in the face of trauma. On the other hand, the silenced mothers in the two novels suggest that the breakdown of the balance between self-assertion and mutual recognition, which leads to the polarities of effacement or unconditional elevation of the other, is the potential origin of trauma. |
