초록
William Trevor explores the origins of unending violence in Northern Ireland through “Lost Ground.” He depicts the tragic consequences that can occur when one fails to change his entrenched consciousness. The story revolves around the devout Protestant Leeson family in Northern Ireland. The Leesons and the Protestant community assert their authenticity in Northern Ireland while solidifying their victimhood in the conflict with Catholics. They fail to acknowledge they are the implicated subject. The implicated subject is a concept that reveals none of us can be entirely innocent when discussing historical violence and contemporary inequalities. Even if we are not directly causing harm to others, we may still contribute to its perpetuation or benefit from it. The Leesons and the Protestant community can be implicated subjects as inheritors of the past, perpetuators sustaining conflicts, and beneficiaries who have gained advantages by oppressing Catholics. Breaking the cycle of violence can begin with recognizing my own involvement as an implicated subject. Through “Lost Ground,” Trevor questions whether we are implicated subjects in the violent history and reality.
Abstract
William Trevor explores the origins of unending violence in Northern Ireland through “Lost Ground.” He depicts the tragic consequences that can occur when one fails to change his entrenched consciousness. The story revolves around the devout Protestant Leeson family in Northern Ireland. The Leesons and the Protestant community assert their authenticity in Northern Ireland while solidifying their victimhood in the conflict with Catholics. They fail to acknowledge they are the implicated subject. The implicated subject is a concept that reveals none of us can be entirely innocent when discussing historical violence and contemporary inequalities. Even if we are not directly causing harm to others, we may still contribute to its perpetuation or benefit from it. The Leesons and the Protestant community can be implicated subjects as inheritors of the past, perpetuators sustaining conflicts, and beneficiaries who have gained advantages by oppressing Catholics. Breaking the cycle of violence can begin with recognizing my own involvement as an implicated subject. Through “Lost Ground,” Trevor questions whether we are implicated subjects in the violent history and reality.
