音樂與真實：語音、幻想與快感

Music and the Real: The Voice, Fantasy and Jouissance

不同於當代文化研究強調意義建構的音樂文化，本文探討音樂經驗中非語言的情感面向。鑑於語言再現和情感的複雜關係，本文試圖論證，拉岡的精神分析架構所凸顯表意之外的極限現象，乃提供思考音樂情感力量的重要依據。有別於象徵界與想像界的表意論述，本文聚焦於真實界，在結構上連結、分析相關之語音、幻想與快感等概念，進一步闡釋音樂在超越意義之外的感動經驗。

The essay explores the affective, non-linguistic dimension of music phenomena, an issue largely ignored by contemporary cultural studies, which are typically enmeshed in linguistic model of cultural experience. Based on the intrication of representation and affect in our musical experiences, this work proceeds to show that Lacanian conceptual framework offers insightful accounts in approaching the limit of signification, making it possible to think structurally on the affective power of music. In doing this, instead of focusing on the discourse of music which is practicized within the registers of the imaginary and the symbolic, I employ Lacan's notions such as the voice, fantasy, jouissance, and so on, to elaborate how music affects us beyond signification, in the precise sense of the real.
