德国作家博纳文图拉的小说《守夜》自19世纪初问世之后,不仅因其强烈的颠覆性而久遭冷遇,而且其作者之归属历经了长期的论争。在后世的研究中,这部似与其时代格格不入的小说恰因强烈的破界与反叛精神而受到关注。本文着重探讨的是,这部虽不入主流却恰好出现在这个时期的作品的特殊性体现在哪些方面,它与当时备受关注的“人”的问题、人类学讨论有怎样的关联,它在当时的人类学话语和美学话语中有何独特意义等。 The vigilance of the German writer Benavente’s novel, “vigil”, since its introduction in the early 19th century, has not only been met for a long time by its strong subversiveness, but its author’s contention has gone through protracted arguments. In later research, this novel, which seems to be incompatible with its own time, is only paid attention due to its strong breaking and rebellious spirit. This article focuses on what is the particularity of this not-yet-mainstream but precisely occurring work during this period, how it relates to the much-watched issue of “humanity” and anthropological discussion , Its unique meanings in anthropological discourse and aesthetic discourse at that time.
