    方式﹣
    寫實主義 (B. Anderson)

    寓言 (F. Jameson)
    (歷史)後設小說(L. Hutcheon); habitable text (G. Spivak)
    "These habitable texts are often contained in the written text, but not contained by that writing. Gayatri Spivak has suggested that 'the text [in] the sense we use it, is not just books. It refers to the possibility that every socio-political, psycho-sexual phenomenon is organized by, woven by many, many strands that are discontinuous, that come from way off, that carry their histories within them, and that are not within our control. We are inserted in them. ...we have no alternative but to involve ourselves and mire ourselves in what we are calling the textuality of the socius. (Harney 3-4)
