摘要

本供品用本雅明的《历史哲学提纲》来反思作者的断片饮酒史。作者将作者的方法定位为自我理论的实验,作者解释了当他与本雅明的“历史在革命时期重新开放”的观点一起思考时,他的自我意识和沉迷于成瘾的时间是如何变化的。作者对本雅明的非传统解读提出了这样一个问题:因酗酒而失去的时间是否可以在戒烟的那一刻得到补偿。这篇文章通过整合个人故事和对身份、伦理、危机和时间的理论分析,为成瘾叙事的文献做出了贡献。更广泛地说,本文对批判性文化研究中的实验写作做出了方法论上的贡献,这种写作力求体现自我与社会的辩证关系。

Blackout Autotheory
This Offering uses Walter Benjamin’s “Theses on the Philosophy of History” to reflect on the author’s history of blackout drinking. Situating the author’s approach as an experiment in autotheory, the author explains how his sense of selfhood and time lost to addiction shift when thought alongside Benjamin’s idea that history reopens in times of revolution. The author’s unconventional reading of Benjamin raises the question of whether time lost to alcoholic blackouts may be redeemed in the moment of quitting. The article contributes to the literature on addiction narratives by integrating personal storytelling and theoretical analysis of identity, ethics, crisis, and time. More broadly, the article makes a methodological contribution to experimental writing in critical cultural studies that strives to embody the dialectic of self and social.
