摘　　要：潜能思想一直贯穿于阿甘本的政治哲学思想之中。在解读梅尔维尔的小说《抄写员巴特尔比》时,阿甘本借由对主人公巴特尔比的口头禅“我情愿不”的解析,深入阐释了“潜能”概念和“赤裸生命”思想。阿甘本认为巴特尔比无作性的行为和话语方式实际上是一种最高形式的反抗。并由此揭示出了巴特尔比纯粹潜能的存在形式对现代社会权力装置反抗的彻底性。这种巴特尔比式的无作性行为和话语方式,正是现代社会例外状态常态化条件下,阿甘本所提倡与追寻的赤裸生命的救赎之路。本文旨在以阿甘本的解读为切入点,从“纯粹潜能”“抵抗”和“赤裸生命”三个角度分析巴特尔比身上所展现出的纯粹而又彻底的生命救赎方式,寻求其成为阿甘本阐释潜能和生命政治思想绝佳例证的深层原因。The idea of potentiality runs through Giorgio Agamben’s political philosophy. In his analysis of Herman Melville’s Bartleby, the Scrivener, Agamben thoroughly interprets potentiality and bare life through Bartleby’s “ I prefer not to”. Agamben believes that Bartleby’s inoperativeness is the highest form of resistance, which exists as pure potentiality against the power apparatuses in modern society. Agamben considers Bartleby’s inoperativeness as the exact way to redeem bare life in modern society, where the state of exception already becomes normality. This article starts with Agamben’s reading of Bartley, focuses on potentiality, resistance and bare life to analyze the pure and thorough way of redemption represented by Bartleby, and hopes to explore why Bartleby exemplifies Agamben’s bio-political thought.
