今天上课讲到sacred vs. profane的问题时
突然又想到原本没打算讲的佛洛伊德
所以临时补充了那段"所有的爱情都是假的 只有数学是真的"
这种以抽象理性进行压抑的倾向
现在把Freud原出处附上
"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 . . .”
的确是很无辜的问题吧?可能和Mangan's sister一样无辜喔!
附带一提
这学期补充理论不少
但请不用担心
期中考绝不会考大家对这些理论的理解与掌握有多少
只是想让同学及早有亲近理论的机会
了解文学阅读与文学理论相辅相成的趣味
也免得以后有需要接触时觉得太恐惧
(文学理论本身往往很艰涩不易读
又与社会学哲学等各面向经常相关故复杂度高)
但真的要深入研读这些理论的话
应该是大四以后到研究所比较适合
