佛洛伊德讀張愛玲

鍾正道 著

佛洛伊德與張愛玲,一個是西方驚世駭俗的精神分析大師,一個是中國引領風潮的小說家;一個是男性本位,一個是女性立場;一個強調本能與文明的二元對立,一個愛蔥綠配桃紅,講究參差對照。 佛洛伊德與張愛玲,兩人都對凡人抱持興趣,都擅於挖掘人性的幽深,都被視為孤高自負。佛洛伊德喜歡文學,理論中援引文學作品總是信手拈來;張愛玲喜歡借用精神分析,駕馭亂倫變態成熟老練,性作隱流,處處夢境,字裡行間飄散佛洛伊德的氣味。 本書從佛洛伊德的觀點來閱讀張愛玲其人其作,分為夢境歇斯底里、伊底帕斯情結、自戀、戀物五個單元,最後以死亡本能的體現、現代文明的壓抑、自我分裂的迷惘、強迫重複的復歸總結佛洛伊德視野下的張愛玲。

Active listening is a person’s willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to the other person, avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing, and sharing. By learning and committing to the skills and behaviors of active listening, leaders can become more effective listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.

此書所論的皆以古代文獻語言中的詞彙為依據。這並不是一本考證著作,然從衣冠器物形制到典章禮儀民俗,介紹所及,都有詞義分析,皆具文獻例證,實不乏精到的考證。從語言實際出發,發掘漢語詞彙的文化積蘊,注重語言學的應用性,為讀者解決常見、急需解決的問題,是《中國古代衣食住行》最重要的治學方法。《中國古代衣食住行》實際上體現了關於語言和文化關係的兩個重要思想︰一是語言是文化最重要的載體,二是文化主要凝聚於詞彙。
