摘要

本文探讨了让-菲利普-图桑（Jean-Philippe Toussaint）的《La Clé USB》（2019年）中的技术断开问题。文章展示了图桑的小说如何提供了一种日常生活的愿景，在这种愿景中，存在就等同于登录，可以说是永久的登录。我考虑了《La Clé USB》是如何证明技术断开连接的过程是充满危险的。我对小说的叙述者让-德特雷兹（Jean Detrez）进行了深入分析，特别关注了他试图 "断开 "与技术中介的联系，结果导致了偏执、内疚和肉体分离。最终，我认为《La Clé USB》让我们关注日常生活中的情感、感官和关系层面，并迫使我们思考这些层面在我们这个超级互联的数字时代可能出现的退化。

The Impossibility of Logging Off: Technological Disconnection in Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s La Clé USB (2019)

This article examines the question of technological disconnection in Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s La Clé USB (2019). It shows how Toussaint’s novel offers a vision of everyday life in which existence is tantamount to being logged on, so to speak, in perpetuity. I consider how La Clé USB testifies to the fraught process of technological disconnection. I offer an extended analysis of the novel’s narrator, Jean Detrez, focusing specifically on his attempts to ‘disconnect’ from technological mediation, which result in paranoia, guilt and corporeal disembodiment. Ultimately, I argue that La Clé USB draws our attention to the affective, sensorial and relational dimensions of everyday life and compels us to reckon with their potential degradation in our hyperconnected digital age.
