The concept of subject has been critically revised by the theoreticians throughout humanistic fields; post-structuralists, for instance, reflect the continuing confusion by looking upon the subject as either dead or of little significance. Such demise makes the postmodern philosophers, artists, or theoreticians turn to the”other”to get an access to the subject. The move to the negation becomes the way to find the absent or obscure meaning and definition for the subject targeted. Paradoxically, the other has thus become an issue of considerable importance to study subjectivity. This essay intends to map the other as the core of subjectivity through an intertextual study of the life narrative of Federico García Lorca as a living person and as a poetic subject in Poet in New York. It reveals that Lorca's life narrative, if viewed in light of Lacanian concept, is an elegy for the lost thing or other and a metonymy for the unattainable desire. |
