何者聽：聲響迴盪

Listening

本文為南希（Jean-Luc Nancy）所著《聽》（À l’écoute）一文的導讀，並透過文本的講述，深入探討南希從《觸感》（Le toucher）一書以來的迴盪主體結構的主張。透過對西方再現傳統中之視覺至上性觀點的質疑，南希認為「聽」才是構成主體狀態感官的基礎：「在聽存在」（être à l’écoute）。聽並非只是主體的感官之一，而是讓一切的感官與意義得以產生並交融的迴盪狀態。因此，南希主張從哲學的意識主體回到一種聲響迴盪的主體狀態，並由此重新去聆聽音色，讓身體去感染音樂，而非試圖去聽懂音樂的意義。

This essay introduces the reader to Jean-Luc Nancy's À l’écoute. Through the interpretation of the text, it opens an in-depth probe into Nancy's conception of subject as resonance since his book Le toucher. Nancy contests the supremacy of vision in the tradition of representation in the West, by emphasizing that listening should be the structure of the subject and of sense: being in listening (être à l'écoute). Listening is not one of the senses of the subject, but the very condition of resonance, which allows all senses and meanings to produce and blend together. Therefore, Nancy advocated a return from the philosophical subject of consciousness to a resonant subject, and thus letting the body to be affected by the musical timbre rather than attempting to understand the meaning of music.
