本論文說明儂希對現代主體形上學的解構，並將之區分為「現代主體的發展與闡述」、「解構的起始-根源條件」、「主體以及共同體的解構」三個主題。在「現代主體的發展與闡述」中，本論文澄清儂希對現代主體的理解：儂希闡述了主體的自我完成，並進一步說明主體觀念在政治上的貫徹執行。儂希根據共同體的自我實現來解釋集權主義，以及它在20世紀造成的歷史與社會災難。在「解構的起始-根源條件」中，本論文澄清儂希對解構思想的探討。儂希探索了存有的離棄狀態，詳述了存有的有限性與延異。儂希以存有的意義來取代存有的真理，並以存有意義來作為解構的根源。實存與世界奠立在存有意義之中，後者將實存向外暴露以及敞開了世界的開放性。在「主體以及共同體的解構」中，本論文澄清儂希的解構策略與運作。儂希將書寫與自我完成對立起來，藉由書寫來干擾主體的自我完成。書寫產生了無作品性，並以無作品性敞開了主體。書寫重複了意義，它讓意義重新開始，並發生成為意義事件。儂希強調共在的重要性，共在分享了存有的虛無，它不是作品，它抵抗著共同體的自我實現。共在聚集著無本質的所有實存，它暴露出每個實存的它者性，並構成了它者的共同體。 / This dissertation discusses Nancy’s deconstruction of modern metaphysics of subject and divides into three themes which are “development and elaboration of modern subject”, “archi-originary condition of deconstruction” and “deconstruction of subject and community”. In “development and elaboration of modern subject”, dissertation clarifies Nancy’s understanding of modern subject: Nancy explicates the self-completion of subject and the political effectuation of the idea of subject. Based on the self-fulfillment of community, Nancy explains totalitarianism that caused historical and social disaster in the 20th century. In “archi-originary condition of deconstruction”, dissertation clarifies Nancy’s discussion of deconstructive thought. Nancy explores the abandonment of Being and illustrates the finitude and différance of Being. Nancy replaces the truth of Being with the sense of Being and designates the sense of Being as the origin of deconstruction. Existence and world grounded in the sense of Being which exposes existence outside and spaces the openness of world. In “deconstruction of subject and community”, dissertation clarifies Nancy’s strategy and operation of deconstruction. Nancy opposes writing to self-completion and interrupts the self-completion of subject through writing. Writing produces the worklessness that spaces the subject. Writing repeats sense, begins sense anew and happens as the event of sense. Nancy emphasizes the importance of being-with that shares the nothing of Being. Being-with is not a work and resists the self-fulfillment of community. Being-with gathers all existences that are without essence, exposes the otherness of every existence and constitutes the community of others.

出版於一九七七年的《鬼店》為史蒂芬‧金的第三部小說，探索的為恐怖文學裡其中一種刻畫，鬼故事。雪倫‧A‧拉塞爾給了一項令人信服的理由，何以她認為《鬼店》是一則鬼故事：「在鬼故事中，恐怖的來源來自於通常出沒某個特定地點的邪惡靈魂。」然而，《鬼店》不僅僅是一部單純的鬼故事小說，根據克萊爾‧韓森與史蒂文‧布拉姆的看法，《鬼店》是一宗可從精神分析角度切入的語言學習與退化案例。 在第一章「導論」裡，我提出本文論點：能否透過清楚說出與理解能力完成符徵(signifier)與符指(signified)的連結，決定了傑克與丹尼各自的命運。第二章「方法論」由我在本文中所用的方法構成，本章說明我如何運用席格蒙‧弗洛伊德的伊底帕斯情結(Oedipus Complex)、雅克‧拉岡的想像界(Imaginary Order)、象徵界(Symbolic Order)、實存 (The Real)、語言作為大他者的論述(Language as the Discourse of the Other)、縫合點(Points de Captions)。第三章欲探討的是傑克與丹尼的伊底帕斯情結，傑克的殞落可追溯至他的童年時期，丹尼的生存則可以他的現況加以分析。第四章「似乎他的生命全靠學習閱讀才得以維持」討論丹尼如何藉由語言學習，從想像界前進到象徵界並打破托倫斯家庭特有的父子關係循環，丹尼漸漸地學習如何連結符徵與符指，清楚地說出與理解這些符指及背後的符徵為丹尼鋪了一條歧異的路，透過這條路丹尼得以存活並成長。第五章「理性的蟄伏」將探討全景飯店如何藉由大他者/小他者的論述(The Discourse of the Other/ the other)誘惑傑克，也探討傑克的瘋狂如何藉由象徵界退化至想像界表現出來，我也會藉由瘋狂的其中一種症狀，不能掌握縫合點：越來越不能連結符徵與符指的情形闡述傑克如何變得偏執於並合理化自己的不當行為，例如殺掉他的妻兒。在第六章「結論」，我將簡述前面五章的要點，幫助讀者釐清本文的宗旨。 / The Shining (1977), Stephen King’s third novel, explores one of the horror genre’s characterizations, the ghost story. Sharon A. Russell gives a convincing reason why she considers The Shining a ghost story: “In the ghost story the origin of the horror comes from evil spirits who usually haunt a specific location.” However, The Shining is not merely a simplistic ghost story. According to Claire Hanson and Steven Bruhm, The Shining is a case of language acquisition and regression from a psycho-analytical perspective. In Chapter One, “Introduction,” I issue my thesis statement that aptitude for articulation and intelligence of the signification determines each of Jack’s and Danny’s destinies. Chapter Two, “Methodology,” consists of the methodology I employ in the analysis of The Shining. That is, how I apply Sigmund Freud’s and Jacques Lacan’s theories, Frued’s Oedipus complex, and Lacan’s three orders, language as the discourse of the Other, and points de caption to this study of The Shining. The exploration of the Oedipus complex for Jack and Danny is Chapter Three’s subject matter. Jack’s downfall can be traced back to his own childhood, and Danny’s survival can be studied in terms of the exploration of his own status quo. In Chapter Four, “As though His Life Depended on Learning to Read,” I discuss Danny’s progression from the imaginary order into the symbolic order and breaking away from “the wounded father-son cycle” (Davenport) in terms of his increasing acquirement of language. That is to say, Danny learns to decipher the signifiers and to make significations between the signifiers and the signifieds. Articulation and intelligence of such signifiers pave a divergent way for Danny as a survivor and an adult in the story.” In Chapter Five, “The Sleep of Reason,” I elaborate upon how the Overlook entrances Jack by means of the discourse of the Other/evil other and how Jack’s insanity can be manifested in terms of his regression from the symbolic order into the imaginary order. I will take advantage of one of the symptoms, failing in the grasp of points de captions, increasingly failing to catch the interdependent relationship between the signifier and the signified, to expound how Jack becomes paranoid and self-justified in his wrongdoing and misbehavior, such as to murder Danny and Wendy in conformity to the former caretaker’s indication. In Chapter Six, “Conclusion,” I summarize the previous points to help the readers further understand the thesis’ purpose.
