摘要: 鲁迅笔下的“阿Q”形象不是某种“性质”——国民性抑或革命性——的载体,而是展现了一个独特的生活世界。最底层的个体生命阿Q,一面为既有的语言表达系统所建构、规训,并成为这个系统的维护者与实践者;一面又被这个系统塑造成了一个全然的“他者”,而遭到这个系统的驱逐乃至清除。在这个系统中,作为“他者”,阿Q与性、姓氏、名字相关联的基本欲望、权利与位置得不到认可与保护,这个系统却步步紧逼向阿Q合围过来,阿Q的身体与精神受到无以复加的摧残。阿Q与外部世界一直维持着物质与物欲上的联结,阿Q的精神胜利法,就是面对来自身外之物的围困与攻击,所采取的一种极端扭曲的语言表达活动。

Abstract: The image of Ah-Q in Lu Xun's writing is not a carrier of any specific “characteristics”—be it national character or revolutionary spirit—but rather embodies a unique life-world. On the one hand, the individual living being of Ah-Q, who comes from the lowest social class, has been constructed and disciplined by the dominant language system of representation, of which he is also a maintainer and practitioner. On the other hand, he is also shaped by this system into a complete “other”, and is ultimately expelled and even eliminated by the system. As an “other”, Ah-Q's basic desires, rights and social positions are not approved and protected by the system. Instead, the system relentlessly encircles Ah-Q, inflicting tremendous physical and mental damage upon him. Ah-Q's victories are a kind of radically distorted linguistic activity in the face of external encirclement and attack. As Lu Xun argued, there are no thought and “-isms” in the integral history of China, but only flashes of materialism, and Ah-Q is unable to break free from the grip of this materialistic realm.
