In Terrors of the Flesh: The Philosophy of Body Horror in Film, David Huckvale traces body horror in cinema back to the writings of the Marquis de Sade, who states that a human takes pleasure and suffers pain only by means of the senses or the organs of the body (p. 1). Such a corporeal philosophy, Huckvale continues, strongly anticipates Friedrich Nietzsche, who was eager to have a positive attitude towards life despite its horrors. This book, then, aims to explore the profound anxieties we have about our own bodies and consequently of our very existence. Indeed, Huckvale observes that we often talk about our bodies as though they were our possessions, contrary to our consciousness, which we consider the “real” us (p. 3). Of course, a similar relationship can be made within the classical doctrine of dualism, in which mental phenomena are considered distinct and separable from matter. For René Descartes, a human being is not a framework of limbs called a human body, but a thinking thing (Descartes, 2008 [1641], p. 20), with dualism then being reinforced by the Copernican revolution, whereby bodies were seen as biological organisms that could be studied using various scientific methods, as opposed to mental states, which were subjected to philosophical and theological analyses. In Huckvale’s case, the opposite is done: he connects body horror with the omnipresent fear of our own mortality and philosophical theories regarding matter and existence (p. 7), and claims that the corruptibility of our flesh is one of the most common topics in works of literature and film (p. 8).

大卫·哈克维尔 (David Huckvale) (2020) 肉体的恐怖:电影中的身体恐怖哲学

肉体的恐怖:电影中的身体恐怖哲学, David Huckvale 将电影中的身体恐怖追溯到萨德侯爵的著作,他指出人类只能通过感官或身体器官来获得快乐和遭受痛苦(第 1 页)。哈克维尔继续说,这种物质哲学强烈期待弗里德里希·尼采,他渴望对生活有积极的态度,尽管生活很恐怖。因此,这本书旨在探索我们对自己的身体以及因此而对我们的存在所产生的深刻焦虑。事实上,Huckvale 观察到我们经常谈论我们的身体,好像它们是我们的财产,这与我们认为是“真实的”我们的意识相反(第 3 页)。当然,在经典的二元论学说中也可以建立类似的关系,其中精神现象被认为是与物质不同且可分离的。对于勒内·笛卡尔来说,一个人不是被称为人体的四肢框架,而是一个思考的事物(笛卡尔,2008 [1641],第 20 页),二元论随后被哥白尼革命强化,其中身体被视为生物有机体,可以使用各种科学方法进行研究,而不是精神状态,后者受到哲学和神学分析。在 Huckvale 的案例中,情况正好相反:他将身体恐惧与对我们自己的死亡和关于物质和存在的哲学理论无所不在的恐惧联系起来(第 7 页),并声称我们肉体的腐败是人类最常见的话题之一。文学和电影作品(第 8 页)。身体被视为可以使用各种科学方法研究的生物有机体,而不是精神状态,精神状态受到哲学和神学分析。在 Huckvale 的案例中,情况正好相反:他将身体恐惧与对我们自己的死亡和关于物质和存在的哲学理论无所不在的恐惧联系起来(第 7 页),并声称我们肉体的腐败是人类最常见的话题之一。文学和电影作品(第 8 页)。身体被视为可以使用各种科学方法研究的生物有机体,而不是精神状态,精神状态受到哲学和神学分析。在 Huckvale 的案例中,情况正好相反:他将身体恐惧与对我们自己的死亡和关于物质和存在的哲学理论无所不在的恐惧联系起来(第 7 页),并声称我们肉体的腐败是人类最常见的话题之一。文学和电影作品(第 8 页)。
