本篇論文意在分析綏夫特<<格理弗遊記>>中的主體、客體、卑賤體的再現，嘗試以不同觀點來看遊記主人翁在四次航行中的遭遇。<<格理弗遊記>>為十八世紀著名的旅行文學，而旅行本身即被視作一種譬喻來闡述旅行者與旅行之間的關係。本論文我主要採用克莉斯蒂娃(Julia Kristeva)幾本書中的理論觀點來逐章論述。在<小人國遊記>中，格理弗以旅行者主體去觀察與再現異地事物。其中最顯而易見的是以「方便之計」來救火。此不經意的行為不僅帶入旅行者主體的議題，也進一步檢驗在家與旅行之間的關係。除了旅行者主體之外，格理弗作為一個發言主體背後代表一套語言規則。最顯著的例子是拉普塔與慧駰國的語言系統。此兩國的語言系統以及他們對於某些外在客體的描述提供讀者去了解語言背後的符號意義。除此之外，透過格理弗在慧駰國的所見所聞，尤其是犽猢的無所不在，造成格理弗不僅在身體上也在心理上產生認知的改變。而他的回程也代表著一項重要的意義：格理弗的改變源於他內在卑賤體(abject)的存在，而他的家人更讓他了解到自己是一位在家的陌生人。 / This thesis investigates the representation of the subject/object/abject in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. In Chapter One, I give a short introduction to describe what and why I want to talk about these representations in this thesis. Following the introductory chapter, Chapter Two explores the representation of the subject and provides a prominent example of Gulliver’s urinating act in Lilliput. This behavior not only constructs Gulliver’s subjectivity, but also helps examine the idea of home. Kristeva’s idea of “the Semiotic and the Symbolic” and Freud’s concept of “fort-da” game are adopted to discuss the dynamics of travel and Gulliver’s traveling subject. Chapter Three examines the way to decode and encode what the strangers speak in alien lands. To address the problem of the linguistic system of the strangers, Kristeva’s idea of “materiality of language” is elucidated. I also offer two examples from the Flappers and the Yahoos to call into question Gulliver’s role as a speaking subject. Foucault’s idea of power and Kristeva’s concept of “genotext” provide a possibility to discuss the relation between the subject and the discourse. In Chapter Four, the representation of the abject is particularly presented by Gulliver’s voyage in the Houyhnhnm-land. The presence of the Yahoos elicits Gulliver’s psychological symptom and problematizes his subject. Moreover, Gulliver’s return to his homeland and his acting-outs suggest that Gulliver is a stranger to himself. Kristeva’s theory of abject offers an effective way to describe Gulliver’s transformation. By focusing on the representation of the subject/object/abject in Gulliver’s Travels, my thesis provides a more newfangled interpretation of this classical text.
