摘要
自奧古斯丁的《懺悔錄》以降，自傳作為文類以來一直都備受爭議。本論文首先勾勒出自傳在不同時期的殊異，進而深入探究德希達如何將倫理關注帶入自我書寫之中。討論過程中將借用南西、拉庫．拉巴特以及德曼等解構主義學者對於生命、死亡、語言、共同體與書寫的思索來深化德希達的相關概念。即便自傳的詮釋史歷經了從生命到自我乃至書寫的轉變，本文欲藉由德希達的理念指出，自傳始終呈現了書寫在與生命的親緣關係之中所能展演的力道。文章的最後一部分將以德希達的《割禮告白》為例闡述何以自傳總是異死書寫這一命題。對於自我的論述終將不離以他者之名書寫他者之死的命運。與悲觀主義正相反，此般倫理書寫反倒是對生命的肯認。

Abstract
Autobiography as a genre has been the locus of debate since Saint Augustine’s Confessions. This paper sketches shifts of focus the term autobiography undergoes in different periods, before examining how Jacques Derrida regards the term in the light of ethics. During the discussion, thoughts on life, death, language, community and writing from certain deconstructionists, including Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Paul de Man will be introduced to complicate Derrida’s ideas. Even though autobiographical interpretation goes through the transformation of focus from bio to auto and to graphy, this paper, with Derrida’s thoughts in the foreground, contends that autobiography indicates the intense relation to bio that writing is. In the final section, Derrida’s Circumfession serves as an example of how autobiography is always already hetero-thanato-biographical writing with the other, for the other and by the other. Directed towards the affirmation of ethical writing, the narrative of the self is preempted by the writing of the other’s death under the other’s name.
