猿熟马驯为哪般———对《西游记》的拉康主义 阿甘本主义分析

The influences of Journey to the West (JTTW), one of the greatest classical Chinese novels, in contemporary Chinaare still magnificent. This is sufficiently reflected in the domains of both (high) academic studies and (low) popular culture.Employing Lacanian psychoanalysis and Agambenian political analysis as the main methodological approach, this paper aims atshedding light on the studies of JTTW a novel, interdisciplinary light by concentrating on analyzing symptomatic?political excessesof JTTW's narrative structure. By doing that, the “anomalies” embedded in the novel's narrative structure would receive newinterpretative explanations. The analysis powerfully shows that the “unreal” (mythical) world depicted by JTTW, is more realthan reality itself.
