Abstract
Abstract:
Pedigreed by hyperesthesia, purified by an anorexia of the real, the Decadents strove to perfect an art positioned on the threshold of death where vitality's flame shone brightest before guttering and going out. Heralded by Denis Neveu as "le roman bible de la Dėcadence," Jean Lorrain's Monsieur de Phocas (1901) shows how the repetition compulsion takes life with its disharmony and suffering, and stylizes it in works that are dead and thus immune to pain. Lorrain's hero, le duc de Fréneuse, encounters life's horrors as the undead who proliferate as the wax dolls, mannequins, and eyeless statues which remain after living being are replaced with their simulacra. Expressing a desire for escape from the compulsion to create, Monsieur de Phocas is a text in search of the one who can absolve it of the need to write in the first place.
摘要:“颓废派”以过度的感觉为血统，以对真实的厌食为净化，力图完善一种处于死亡门槛上的艺术，在那里，活力的火焰在熄灭之前闪耀得最明亮。让·洛兰(Jean Lorrain)的作品《福卡先生》(Monsieur de Phocas, 1901)被丹尼斯·奈夫(Denis Neveu)誉为“le roman bible de la Dėcadence”，它展示了重复强迫症是如何用不和谐和痛苦来吞噬生活的，并在死亡的作品中将其程式化，从而免受痛苦的影响。Lorrain的主人公，le duc de fr neuse，遇到了生活中的恐怖，不死族的数量不断增加，蜡娃娃、人体模型和无眼雕像在活着的人被他们的模拟物取代后仍然存在。《福卡斯先生》表达了一种逃离创作冲动的愿望，它是一种文本，在寻找一个能让它从写作的需要中解脱出来的人。
