Re: "死亡的疾病" - Life and Death Upon the Page |
more close-up reading:
At first, the woman cannot believe that the gay man doesn't desire women: 'You've never desired a woman? ...Not one single time, not for an instant?' The gay man's negative answer, his resulting denial of her, brings out the pain of rejection but the calm note of a
summary judgement that is no less absolute for being bemused: 'She
smiles and says: What a curious thing is a dead man. [ C'est curieux un
mort]. At various moments in this dialogue both characters imagine
murdering the other, although Duras disguise the heterosexual woman's
violence in a questionable - perhaps even a reprehensible - way. For
the man's fantasy of murdering the woman is forgrounded, and by
implication connotes the rage of homosexual impotence in the face of
sexual difference, or more optimistically, the urge to kill that always
underlies the desire in Duras. But the woman's murderous performances
echoes that of Ackroyd:'C'est curieux un mort.' Duras's narrative thus
concocts an innocence for itself by seeming merely to acknoweldge in
the constative mode that homosexual desire is dead, 'immobile', an
empty void by its very nature. But again, The constative disguises a
performative: 'You are dead' in fact means 'I am
killing you off.'
What is in question here isn't love or hate. They are from the same
source. It is the power of dominance. 'More is different.' This surplus
of culture sensitivity, or culture perversion is the very force of
evolution under the shadows of revolution. Destructive and constructive
forces are walking on a fine line. And who can tell without risking the
telling as abetting the destructive side?
