本文从康沃尔郡马利恩湾一系列纪念长椅的遭遇出发,从缺席和自我与世界的非巧合两个方面对景观进行了描述。最近关于景观、体现、感知和物质文化等主题的研究倾向于以各种方式强调在场,我在这里试图探索缺席、距离、失落和萦绕的主题。本文进一步尝试结合联合收割机的描述性和经验性的帐户的纪念长椅和他们打开的观点与概念的论点,关于自我和景观的某些现象学理解的局限性。特别是,德里达的批判阅读梅洛庞蒂概述和探讨。论文的最后一个实质性部分从纪念长椅上得到了进一步的线索,讨论了它所说的爱情的地理位置。这里的论点是,这样的地理构成了一个裂缝,禁止任何自我和世界的现象学融合,而是同时需要开放和远离。也许正是在这种开放和距离的张力中,风景、缺席和爱纠缠在一起。
Working out from an encounter with a series of memorial benches at Mullion Cove, Cornwall, this paper develops an account of landscape in terms of absence and the non-coincidence of self and world. Arguing that recent work on the topics of landscape, embodiment, perception and material culture has tended to stress presence in various ways, I seek to explore instead here motifs of absence, distance, loss and haunting. The paper further attempts to combine descriptive and experiential accounts of the memorial benches and the views they open with conceptual arguments regarding the limits of certain phenomenological understandings of self and landscape. In particular, Derrida’s critical reading of Merleau-Ponty is outlined and explored. The final substantive section of the paper then takes a further cue from the memorial benches to discuss what it terms the geographies of love. The argument here is that such geographies constitute a fracture forbidding any phenomenological fusion of self and world, entailing instead a simultaneous opening-onto and distancing-from. It is within the tension of this openness and distance, perhaps, that landscape, absence and love are entangled.
