| 中文摘要 | 華萊士.史蒂文斯 (Wallace Stevens) 的詩代表一種美國式的「超凡」 (an American sublime),擺脫了歐洲影響以及古典、浪漫和先驗論者之構想,重新檢視朗基努斯對「超凡」 (the sublime) 的定義,以及朗基努斯認為其關鍵在於心中留下許多可思索之處的觀點。他的詩拆解以往對「超凡」的概念和建構,重新創造一種美國式的「超凡」,超越既定規則之侷限。企圖顛覆權威文學慣例的史蒂文斯,在詩歌中意圖撰寫「心靈之詩」,「建構新的舞台」,他不執著於支配一切的真理,而是提供一種非絕對之「新的現實認知」。他對文學傳統、習慣看法、和現象詮釋的解構,有時也難免解構其初衷;這樣的現象證明了對特定觀點的執著,往往成為其思想、語言、經驗、和詮釋的根基。史蒂文斯對支配觀點的負面效果之認知,並無法使他逃脫其侷限,因此他嘗試以各種途徑追求現實的認知。在史蒂文斯的「至高虛構」中所發現和創造的超凡,可能是一種虛構、一種詮釋、或是一種新的/不同的「現實的認知」,但是也提供更多的素材給「永不停歇的心靈」深 (反)思。史蒂文斯的本意不在「心靈之終點」,而是傾向讓「不完美」存在,他所呈現的現實「是起點非終點」,因而創造出他自成一格之美國式「超凡」,鼓勵不墨守成規的思想和追求現實認知的各種方法。 |
| 英文摘要 | Representing an American sublime free of European influence and classical, romantic, and transcendentalist formulations of the sublime, Wallace Stevens’s poetry invites a re-investigation of Longinus’s definition of the sublime. For Longinus, the effect of the sublime disposes the soul to high thoughts and leaves in the mind more food for contemplation. De-creating prior notions and construction of the sublime, his poetry (re) creates the spirit of a(n) (American) sublime, which passes beyond the confines of pre-established rules. Stevens develops his attempt to subvert authoritative literary practices, to compose the “poem of the mind,” and to “construct a new stage” in his poetry, offering “a new knowledge of reality” rather than the Absolute. His deconstruction of literary conventions, habitual perceptions, and phenomenal interpretations sometimes inevitably deconstructs its original intent. This occurs especially when his attempt to efface the power of received views illustrates that commitment to a specific perspective acts as the foundation of thought, language, experience, and interpretation. His recognition of the negative effects of dominant perspectives could not preserve him from falling into their confinement; thus he experimented with various approaches to the knowledge of reality. The sublime discovered and created in Stevens’s “supreme fiction” can be a fiction, an interpretation, or a new/different “knowledge of reality”; nonetheless, it provides “the never-resting mind” more food for free reflection. Intent not on “the final destination of the mind” but inclined to let “the imperfect” remain, Stevens presents a reality that “is the beginning not the end,” thereby creating his own version of an American sublime that encourages nonconformist thoughts and varied access to a knowledge of reality. |
