今天上課講到sacred vs. profane的問題時
突然又想到原本沒打算講的佛洛伊德
所以臨時補充了那段"所有的愛情都是假的 只有數學是真的"
這種以抽象理性進行壓抑的傾向
現在把Freud原出處附上
"Give up women and study mathematics!”
. . . our fugitive threw himself with special eagerness into mathematics
and geometry which he was taught at school, till suddenly one day his powers
of comprehension were paralyzed in the face of some apparently innocent
problems: “Two bodies come together, one with a speed of . . .etc.”
and “On a cylinder, the diameter of whose surface is m,
describe a cone . . .”
的確是很無辜的問題吧?可能和Mangan's sister一樣無辜喔!
附帶一提
這學期補充理論不少
但請不用擔心
期中考絕不會考大家對這些理論的理解與掌握有多少
只是想讓同學及早有親近理論的機會
了解文學閱讀與文學理論相輔相成的趣味
也免得以後有需要接觸時覺得太恐懼
(文學理論本身往往很艱澀不易讀
又與社會學哲學等各面向經常相關故複雜度高)
但真的要深入研讀這些理論的話
應該是大四以後到研究所比較適合
