愉悦

Pleasure: A Keyword in Critical Theory

摘要: 曾几何时,愉悦话题变成了雷区,其背后有政治、经济等社会历史原因,也有某些“前卫”理论兴风作浪的原因。有鉴于此,我们有必要重新认识愉悦的三个命题:一、何为愉悦;二、为何愉悦;三、愉悦何为,这些命题你中有我,我中有你,对其间的复杂性和相关性不可不察。愉悦究竟为何物?就西方文论而言,最富魅力的相关学说来自康德,他的论述为后来华兹华斯等人倡导愉悦的重要性和深广功用铺平了道路。从华兹华斯到克默德,我们可以看到一条思想脉络,即强调愉悦关乎人类尊严,关乎生命的奥秘。从亚里士多德到马尔库塞、詹明信和伊格尔顿,我们看到了一个传统,即不断拓宽并深化愉悦功用的努力。

Abstract: The subject of pleasure has recently become a mine field. Underlying this phenomenon are political, economic and socio-historical factors, along with the influence of some “avant-garde” theories. It is necessary, therefore, for us to re-examine the three propositions regarding the notion of pleasure: 1) What is pleasure? 2) Why pleasure matters? 3) What pleasure can do? As far as Western literary theories are concerned, the most intriguing discourse on pleasure comes from Immanuel Kant who paves the way for those who, such as William Wordsworth and his likes, advocate the importance of pleasure and its extensive function. From Wordsworth to Frank Kermode we can see a line of thought which emphasizes that pleasure has a bearing on mankind’s dignity and the mystery of life. We can also see a tradition which goes all the way back to Aristotle through Herbert Marcuse, Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton, which testifies to a continuous endeavour to broaden and deepen the function of pleasure.
