Abstract

Abstract:Antigone is, arguably, the feminine figure most examined and exalted both by and in the philosophical tradition. For just this reason, Antigone has also repeatedly been reclaimed by generations of women working in the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, feminist theory, political theory and literature. This paper explores the thought that Antigone is not a “woman” in any simple sense at all. As a virgin/sister who dares to appeal to a law beyond the polis, Antigone occupies the position of a phallic virgin whose power and authority are inextricable from a certain (essentially male) fantasy of phallic infallibility—a fantasy that is, paradoxically, often incarnated by an exceptional form of femininity. But whether she is understood as uniquely authorized to appeal to a law beyond the human or read as a figure that discloses a fissure within the human, Antigone challenges what it means to be a woman in theory.
反安提戈涅
摘要:安蒂戈涅可以说是哲学传统中最受审视和推崇的女性形象。正是因为这个原因,Antigone也被哲学、精神分析、女权主义理论、政治理论和文学领域的几代女性反复开垦。本文探讨了Antigone根本不是一个简单意义上的“女人”的思想。作为一个敢于在城邦之外诉诸法律的处女/姐妹,安蒂戈涅占据了一个阳具处女的位置,她的权力和权威与某种(本质上是男性)阳具无误的幻想密不可分——矛盾的是,这种幻想往往体现为一种特殊的女性气质。但是,无论她是被理解为唯一有权诉诸人类之外的法律,还是被解读为揭示人类内部裂痕的人物,Antigone都挑战了女性在理论上的意义。
