有鑑於當代媒體文化中感官新聞的流行，本文採取精神分析觀點切入旁觀他人痛苦的議題，進而探討病態公共領域中相關集體感官消費的心理意涵。藉由佛洛伊德的「挨打幻想」以及拉岡的幻想概念，本文一方面論證，具有魅惑性質的幻想與見證他人苦難之間有著密切的關係，再者，基於幻想的防禦作用使得觀看主體乃透過幻想的媒介互卸地重複觀看他人苦難。終究，當代涉及到他人苦難或創傷的感官消費不必然造成創傷的衝擊，而是建立在幻想螢幕與旁觀者的安全關係裡。

In considering the popularity of sensationalist news in contemporary media culture, this paper presents a discussion from a psychoanalytic perspective to examine the issue of observing the pain of others in a so-called ”wound culture,” and its psychoanalytic implications in collective media consumption. Based on Freud's ”beating fantasies” and Lacan's concept of fantasy, this paper first elucidates how fantasy, with its power of fascination and the concept of the ”Lacanian real,” is closely related to witnessing the pain of others in the media. Furthermore, we argue that the defensive function of fantasy allows consumers to adopt a type of mediated or interpassive manner of viewing the suffering of others. Ultimately, the contemporary mode of considering (consuming) the pain of others does not necessarily cause trauma, but constitutes a relationship on the screen between fantasy and consumers.
