ABSTRACT In keeping with the current ethical turn in humanities, this paper analyses Colm Tóibín’s The Testament of Mary as a literary testimony of post-Levinasian relationality. Such relationality – whereby the One and the Other both meet, ‘emasculate’ and give meaning to each other – draws on vulnerability. That is, the novella shows that to be human is to be exposed and vulnerable to the Other. This is not necessarily negative because such exposure relies on the ethics of care that Mary performs particularly with her neighbour Farina, her cousin Mary, Jesus and Lazarus. Indeed, the wounds both men suffer are not only traumatic symptoms, but also relational meeting points. Hence, the article proves that wound ethics (vulnerability being the etymological root of the wound) is recast into interpersonal care to re-present the encounter with the Other.

重塑脆弱性和受伤伦理：科尔姆·托宾的《玛丽的遗嘱》

摘要为适应当前人文伦理的转折，本文分析了科尔姆·托宾的《玛丽的遗嘱》，作为后列维纳斯关系的文学证明。这种关系-彼此相遇，“'割”并彼此赋予意义-利用了脆弱性。就是说，中篇小说表明，成为人类是要暴露于他人之中并容易受到他人的伤害。这不一定是负面的，因为这种接触依赖于玛丽特别是与邻居法里纳（Farina），堂兄玛丽（Mary），耶稣（耶稣）和拉撒路（Lazarus）所遵循的护理道德。确实，这两个男人所遭受的伤口不仅是创伤症状，而且还是关系的交汇点。因此，
