后人文主义视域下的《安德鲁的大脑》——主体性的解构与重构

A Study of “Andrew’s Brain” with the Posthumanism—The Deconstruction and Reconstruction of the Human Subject

摘要: 《安德鲁的大脑》是E.L.多克托罗生前发表的最后一部长篇小说，不同于以往着重关注美国历史的小说，多克托罗在《安德鲁的大脑》中将叙事重点放在了人物的大脑活动及心理活动之中，通过描绘当代社会存在的各种的主体性问题，暗示了其在人与非人界限模糊的后人类时代，对于人类主体的后人文主义反思，以及希望寻求新型主体以摆脱逐渐沦丧的人类主体的危局。

Abstract: “Andrew’s brain” is the last novel of E. L. Doctorow. Different from the previous novels focusing on American history, Doctorow’s “Andrew’s Brain” focuses on the brain and psychological activities of the characters. By depicting the various problems of subjectivity existing in the contemporary era, it suggests Doctorow’s the post-humanism reflection in the post-human era where the boundaries between humans and non-humans are blurred, boundaries blurred after human age, for human subject after humanism reflection, and hints at Doctorow’s hope to seek new type of subject to get rid of the existential crisis of the human subject.
