氣味擬像與身體隱喻：羚羊（Gazelle）、香水收集者（The Perfume Collector）和香水（Das Parfum）對比研究

The Olfactory Simulation and the Body Metaphor: Ducornet’s Gazelle, Tessaro’s The Perfume Collector, and Süskind’s Perfume

香水隱喻作為羚羊（Gazelle, 2003）、香水收集者（The Perfume Collector, 2013） 和香水（Das Parfum, 1985）三文本中的共同語彙，製造擬像，並以母親、愛、情感三者為共同的身體容器的隱喻，描繪出失去母親、愛、情感的「我」，如何因香水找到內心的慾望。在母親與他者（m/other）界線間，「我」被重造。香水讓內心的慾望在擬像世界中浮現，母親與他者(m/other)界線也在擬像世界中變得模糊。

 

The common theme of the three selected texts in this study, Ducornet’s "Gazelle" (2003), Tessaro’s "The Perfume Collector" (2013), and Süskind’s "Das Parfum" (1985), is the powerful metaphor of perfume. It creates a simulation described through container metaphors, represented by the mother, love, and the soul, all belonging to the body metaphor. The losses of the self or inner self are identical to the loss of the mother, love, and the soul. In the boundary of m/other (mother/others), identity is reconstructed. The perfume metaphor aids in discovering inner desires in the simulated world where boundaries are blurred.
