瑪拉布論創傷：創傷的一般理論與受創主體的再定位

Catherine Malabou on Trauma: The General Theory of Trauma and the Reconfiguration of Traumatized Subject

本研究闡述瑪拉布的創傷一般理論。創傷的一般理論重新定義創傷的本質，並說明創傷對受創主體所產生的構成性功能。內文包含三個部分。第一，創傷和病理學之間的聯繫要被解除。當下的意外事件並不回歸於早年的性創傷。創傷不再被病理學的起源論述和治療應用所規定。第二，創傷的意外的特徵要被強調。創傷並不關聯於主體的內在過去，僅關聯於當下的外在事件。第三，瑪拉布說明意外對主體所產生的衝擊。意外事件直接摧毀了主體的自我同一性。心靈的摧毀使得受創主體不再有任何經驗和感受，他因此才能夠倖存下來。創傷的一般理論揭示了受創主體如何被創傷之摧毀所構成。 This essay elucidates Malabou's general theory of trauma that redefines the essence of trauma and explains trauma's constitutive function within the traumatized subject. This essay is composed of three parts. Firstly, the link between trauma and pathology is removed. Present trauma doesn't reactivate the early sexual trauma. Trauma is neither determined by the pathological discourse of etiology nor identified as an object of therapeutic treatment. Secondly, this essay clarifies the accidental character of trauma that is not mediated by subject's past but comes from the outside. Thirdly, Catherine Malabou explains the accident's impact on the subject. The event of accident causes the immediate destruction of subject's identity. It is because the subject is deprived of his status as the subject of experience who undergoes the traumatic accident that the subject can survive his or her own destruction. General theory of trauma reveals how traumatized subject is constituted by that which destroys him or her.
