中文摘要

「字母會」作為一次促使臺灣文學與西方思想進行深入交流的文學計畫,無疑十分適合作為探討外來理論與在地文學之關係的切入點。胡淑雯在「字母會」系列的26篇小說中,花費大量筆墨描寫各式角色身體(body)之間的碰撞,及其所產生的各式情狀(affections)與倫理議題,以回應德勒茲的諸多概念。故而本文提出,胡淑雯在通過26篇小說展演德勒茲倫理學思想的同時,也進一步詮釋出了自身獨特的倫理學理解。一方面,小說中那些恐懼反抗而墜入被動情狀(passive affections)的懦弱角色,盡皆迎來悲劇與痛苦的結局。另一方面,那些勇於動用起主動力(active force)的強悍角色,則無一不擺脫被動狀態,進入到舒適的主動情狀(active affections)中。同時,在胡淑雯筆下「道德律」不再是重要的,那些能夠增強「行動力」的選擇與條件,才真正與「幸福」相關。總的來說,正因為胡淑雯的小說強化、突顯了德勒茲倫理學的某些面向與概念,才使得我們有機會從文本中攫取出略顯不同面貌的倫理學詮釋。

英文摘要

The "ABC of Literature" serves as a significant literary project that fosters in-depth exchanges between Taiwanese literature and Western thought, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the relationship between foreign theories and local literary practices. In the series of 26 stories comprising the "ABC of Literature", Hu Shu-Wen dedicates substantial eff ort to depicting the collisions between various characters' bodies and the resulting affections and ethical dilemmas, thereby engaging with numerous concepts from Gilles Deleuze. This paper argues that while Hu Shu-Wen employs these stories to enact Deleuzian ethics, she simultaneously offers her unique interpretation of ethical thought. On one hand, the narratives feature timid characters who succumb to passive affections due to their fear of resistance, ultimately meeting tragic and painful fates. On the other hand, resilient characters who actively harness their forces transition from passivity to active affections, attaining a state of comfort and empowerment. Notably, in Hu's works, the "moral law" loses its central significance; instead, choices and conditions that enhance one's capacity for action are more closely tied to the attainment of happiness. In summary, by intensifying and highlighting specific aspects of Deleuzian ethics, Hu Shu-Wen's stories offer a nuanced ethical interpretation, allowing readers to extract a distinct perspective on ethics from her literary text.
