英裔爱尔兰女作家玛利亚·埃奇沃思在《倦怠》中,以男主人公格伦索恩伯爵为叙述者,叙述了男主人公摆脱倦怠,重塑男性主体,重获男性权力的故事。男主人公的倦怠源于其主体建构过程中象征父性秩序的能指以及对应的“他者”的缺失。摆脱倦怠的过程实际上就是男主人公重回主体建构本源,重新开始建构权力主体,重拾主体权力的过程。 In the book “Burnout”, British Irish author Maria Edgewood described the story that the hero is getting rid of burnout, reshaping the male subject and regaining male power, as the narrator of the male protagonist Glenn Thornorn. The heroine’s burnout comes from the absence of the signifier of paternal order and the corresponding “otherness” in the process of its construction. The process of getting rid of burnout is actually the process in which the hero reclaims the origin of the construction of the main body, restarts the construction of the main body of power and regains the main power.
