命運與離奇傳播：論拉岡精神分析理論的「傳播」概念

Fate and Uncanny Communication: On the Concept of“Communication”in Lacan’s Psychoanalytical Theories

本文跟隨雅克．拉岡（Jacques Lacan）所給出的線索，通過分析西格蒙特．佛洛伊德（Sigmund Freud）對神祕主義的討論，來對拉岡精神分析理論（Lacanian Psychoanalytical Theories）中的「傳播」概念進行分析性的梳理與探索性的建構。本文認為，拉岡的「傳播」概念所關注的，是「傳播」在觸及並撼動主體時，於主體感知中所呈現出充滿「離奇」（uncanny）色彩的「中介結構」（structure of mediation），及此一中介結構的運作核心、基礎結構與運作機制。此一離奇中介結構的特殊性在於，它可將各式媒介刺激，都接收與轉化為神諭般的訊息，並由此使主體在進行傳播活動的過程中，生產出與「命運」（fate）發生遭遇的幻想。這個「離奇傳播」面向既是人類傳播活動之「傳播的重量」所在之處，也是「意義建構與共享」和「資訊傳遞與交換」的一般性人類傳播活動，所必須全力壓抑，但又不可能擺脫的「幽靈化底層」。

"Jacques Lacan noted that if we want to understand his concept of“communication,”then we need to pay close attention to Sigmund Freud’sdiscussions on occultism. This article thus attempts to follow this cluefaithfully. By analyzing occultist examples drawn from Freud’s work, I arguethat the focal concerns of Lacan’s discussions on“communication”lie in the“uncanny structure of mediation”that unfolds in the subject’s perception atthe moment when“communication”deeply affects the subject. The“uncanniness”of this particular“structure of mediation”resides in its abilityto receive and transform all kinds of“stimulations”into oracular“messages.”It is through this mode of reception and transformation that the fantasies of“encountering fate”are generated on the side of the subject during theprocess of communication. In other words,“fate”is an inevitable product ofthe“uncanny (dimension of) communication.”"
