摘要

人的心灵(灵魂)是由现实世界和“世界的镜像”(维特根斯坦)共同创造的。文化通过构成我们所有人都沉浸其中并产生活生生的人类经验的话语联系的层次,创造了世界的一面镜子。拉康使用“镜像阶段”来揭示人类身份和自我概念的发展,并在其中为成人生活中看到的心理特征找到许多根源。当红葱女士的镜子从一边裂到另一边时,她的世界开始瓦解。后殖民时代的背景打破了土著生活的镜子,因此,破碎的形象是异化的核心,这对那些属于殖民文化的人的道德存在产生了破坏性影响,因为他们试图表达自己的生活经历。这种断裂断开了意义、起源和命运的神话、文化偶像和话语,在这些话语中,与地方的联系被视为不真实的,与现代生活无关。因此,殖民对被殖民人民的身份认同、自我价值和道德存在具有潜在的破坏性,因为自我价值和存在根源之间的联系已经以难以表达的方式被破坏了。这导致了深深的创伤,使自己远离世界,破坏了创造社会和个人责任的知情对话。

When the Mirror Cracks: Well-Being, Moral Responsibility, and the Post- Colonial Soul
The human psyche (soul) is jointly created by the actual world and the “mirror image of the world” (Wittgenstein). Culture creates a mirror of the world by constituting layers of discursive connection in which we are all immersed and which engender lived human experience. Lacan uses “the mirror phase” to unravel the development of human identity and self-conception and locate in it many roots for the psychological characteristics seen in adult life. When the mirror crack’d from side to side for the lady of Shallot, her world began to unravel. A post-colonial setting fractures the indigenous mirror of life such that the broken image is at the heart of the alienation that results has damaging effects on the moral being of those belonging to a colonised culture as they try to articulate their lived experience. The fracture disconnects meanings, myths of origin and destiny, cultural icons and the discourses in which connections to place are affirmed by treating them as unreal and irrelevant to modern life. Colonisation is therefore potentially destructive to identity, self-worth, and the moral being of a colonised people because connections between self-worth and the roots of being have been disrupted in ways that are difficult to articulate. That results in deep wounds alienating self from world and undermining the informed dialogue that creates social and personal responsibility.
