摘要：在本次采访中，J·希利斯·米勒和尼德什·劳图以西方美学中最具影响力的概念之一“模仿”为阿里阿德涅的线索，追溯了米勒职业生涯的重大转折，进而推动了文学理论和批评中模仿的回归。米勒将解构主义和修辞阅读的标准解释复杂化为简单的反模仿，他承认这一古老概念对他的智力发展和文学理论的重大转变的中心地位：他在 20 世纪 50 年代早期接触新批评和现象学，在 1960 年代与雅克·德里达和解构主义的相遇，在 1970 年代与保罗·德曼一起发展修辞阅读和 20 世纪 80 年代，以及 他在 20 世纪 90 年代和 2000 年代对道德和社区的参与，延伸到包括他最近对当代美国政治和传播政治的新媒体的批判性反思。在此过程中，这次采访揭示了模仿如何作为一个千变万化的概念或哑剧发挥作用，在不同的概念面具下，它在米勒与新旧批评和理论的对话关系中不断发挥作用。米勒和劳图联手进行对话，表明这一经常被边缘化的文学哲学概念在政治、伦理、科学和技术变革中占据了中心舞台，给当代和后代留下了阴影。
Abstract:In this interview, J. Hillis Miller and Nidesh Lawtoo take one of the most influential concepts in Western aesthetics, mimēsis, as an Ariadne’s thread to retrace the major turns in Miller’s career and, by extension, to promote a re-turn of mimesis in literary theory and criticism. Complicating standard accounts of deconstruction and rhetorical reading as simply antimimetic, Miller acknowledges the centrality of this ancient concept to his intellectual development and to major turns in literary theory as well: his early engagement with New Criticism and phenomenology in the 1950s, his encounter with Jacques Derrida and deconstruction in the 1960s, his development of rhetorical reading in the company of Paul de Man in the 1970s and 1980s, and his engagement with ethics and community in 1990s and 2000s, stretching to include his most recent critical reflections on contemporary US politics and the new media that disseminate it. In the process, this interview reveals how mimēsis functions as a protean concept, or mime, that under different conceptual masks is constantly at play in Miller’s dialogic relation with criticism and theory, old and new. Staging a dialogue, Miller and Lawtoo join forces to show that this often marginalized literary-philosophical concept takes center stage in the political, ethical, scientific, and technological transformations that cast a shadow on present and future generations.
