摘要

摘要对弗洛伊德来说，所有的欲望都是性欲。这包括求知欲、哲理、情爱升华为智慧之爱。然而，正如尼采所指出的，这种欲望的起源是，“就像地球上一切伟大事物的开始，被鲜血浸透了很长一段时间。”如果所有的欲望在某种意义上都是色情的，那么所有的欲望也是虐待狂的；即使是最崇高的欲望，归根结底也是对残酷的渴望。正是为了约束人类贪得无厌、压迫、残忍的欲望，我们的祖先制定了第一部法律，创造了第一个社会。然而，社会仍然认为一种形式的欲望——女性欲望——构成了严重的威胁。在这部作品中，我审视了欲望与文明、哲学家与城市之间存在的紧张关系，希望更好地理解作为性存在与他人共同生活意味着什么。

Desire and the City: The Freedom and Tyranny of Being Human

ABSTRACT For Freud, all desire is sexual desire. That includes the desire to know, philosophia, erotic love sublimated into the love of wisdom. Yet, as Nietzsche notes, the origin of such desire was, “like the beginning of everything great on earth, soaked in blood thoroughly and for a long time.” If all desire is, in some sense, erotic, all desire is also sadistic; even the most sublimated of desires is at bottom a desire for cruelty. It was in order to constrain human desire, insatiable, oppressive, cruel, that our ancestors instituted the first laws and created the first society. Yet one form of desire—female desire—is still felt by society to pose a serious threat. In this work, I examine the tension that exists between desire and civilization, the philosopher and the city, with the hope of better understanding what it means to live as sexual beings in community with others.

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
