This paper proposes a methodology which seeks to use psychoanalysis to fathom the unique quality of the literary text without turning the text into a symptom or its author into a patient. Its hypothesis: the literary text evokes an unconscious fantasy in its readers; critics who respond to the text empathically but without conscious understanding re-enact aspects of its organizing fantasy in the way they write their criticism. To test this hypothesis, the criticism of Jacques le Fataliste et son Matître by Diderot is examined. The phenomenon of parallelism is suggested as a clinical analogy for the re-enactment which takes place.
本文提出了一种方法，旨在运用精神分析来探究文学文本的独特品质，而不将文本变成一种症状或把其作者变成一名患者。其假设为：文学文本会在读者心中唤起一种无意识幻想；那些对文本产生共情但并无自觉理解的批评家，会在撰写批评的过程中以重新演绎的方式展现其组织性幻想的某些方面。为了验证这一假设，我们对狄德罗所著《宿命论者雅克和他的主人》的批评进行了审视。文中提出，平行现象可作为发生的这种重新演绎的一种临床类比。
