Abstract
Abstract:This article isolates three qualities of subjectivity occurring in three stories by Ernest Hemingway, from the existential self of “A Clean Well-Lighted Place,” to the historical consciousness of “A Natural History of the Dead,” to the radical subject of becoming of “A Way You’ll Never Be.” It tracks a spectrum of possible responses to the shock of the modern and argues that “A Way You’ll Never Be,” imagining a subjectivity akin to post-humanism, offers a unique vision of the self as something with no essential anchoring points.Résumé:Cet article examine trois aspects de la subjectivité se retrouvant dans trois nouvelles d’Ernest Hemingway : le soi existentiel dans « A Clean Well-Lighted Place », la conscience historique dans « A Natural History of the Dead » et le devenir dans « A Way You’ll Never Be ». Il examine une gamme de réponses possibles au choc de la modernité et soutient que la nouvelle « A Way You’ll Never Be », laquelle imagine une subjectivité semblable au post-humanisme, offre une vision unique du soi en tant qu’objet sans points d’ancrage essentiels.
摘要:本文分离了海明威三个故事中出现的三种主体性特质,分别是《一个干净明亮的地方》中的存在自我、《死者自然史》中的历史意识、《你永远不会成为的路》中的激进主体。它追踪了对现代冲击的一系列可能反应,并认为《你永远不会成为的路》(a Way You Never Be)想象了一种类似于后人文主义的主体性,提供了一种独特的自我视角,认为自我是一种没有本质支点的东西。这篇文章考察了海明威的三个方面:主观的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的、有意义的。我将审视一种游戏,审视现代主义的可能性,审视一种全新的“你永远不会成为的人”的可能性,想象一种类似于后人文主义的主观主义,提供一种独特的视觉,审视一种客观的、没有点的、没有本质的东西。
