| 總結: | Drawing upon the postmodern thinking of Luce Irigaray, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, this essay explores the relationship between desire, sexuality and representation in J's account of paradise. It draws attention to the necessity for dif ference—particularly sexual difference. Difference constitutes desire and is prior to naming. Read through the filters of postmodernity, the story of paradise is an aetio logical account of the origins of sexuality, desire and representation. It is also the account of the origin of a patriarchal culture which has silenced the woman. |
