Alchemy of Desires: The Analysis of Chu Tien-wen's Middle Period Novels in the Perspective of Desires

朱天文的中期小說《炎夏之都》、《世紀末的華麗》、《荒人手記》大量描摹糾纏痛苦的情感，欲望是欲海情天之始作俑者。細讀朱天文中期小說中書寫的欲望視野，背後潛藏著其對情感、人生、社會智性的思考，朱天文勢必要演繹出一套自成體系的「欲望美學」。從精神分析、消費社會、性別研究的角度出發，分析朱天文小說創作中呈現的肉身之欲、物質之欲、同性之欲，探究其以肉身之欲來平衡情感的殘缺，以物質之欲來抵抗人生的虛無，以同性之欲來反思社會的建制的書寫實踐。

Chu Tien-wen's middle period novels the City of Summer, Fin-de-Siècle Splendour, Notes of a Desolate Man largely paint tangled sentiments and the contributors of them -- desires.
