中文简介:
第二次瘟疫流行的主要文化后果之一是它对死亡的态度和“死亡的艺术”的影响。由于瘟疫的极端毒力和与之作斗争的严格措施,瘟疫严重破坏了处理死亡的传统习俗。这种破坏不仅表现在宗教信仰和埋葬方式上,而且表现在艺术、建筑和文学上。瘟疫的经历深刻地塑造了欧洲文化,出现了诸如“瓦尼塔斯”(vanitas)和肖像学中的丹麦恐怖等符号,以及与瘟疫圣人的新崇拜相关的视觉表现。瘟疫的成功遏制在启蒙运动的哲学计划中也发挥了同样强大的作用,因为为避免死亡而采取的措施为理论上的进步主张提供了物质基础。
课程简介: One of the major cultural consequences of the second plague pandemic was its effect on attitudes towards death and the "art of dying." As a result both of its extreme virulence and the strictness of the measures imposed to combat it, plague significantly disrupted traditional customs of dealing with death. This disruption made itself felt not only in religious belief and burial practices but also in art, architecture and literature. European culture was profoundly shaped by the experience of the plague, as witnessed by the advent of symbols such as "vanitas" and the danse macabre in iconography, as well as the visual representations associated with the new cults of plague saints. The successful containment of the plague might be seen to have exercised a similarly powerful effect in shaping the philosophical project of the Enlightenment, in that the measures taken to ward off death gave material substance to theoretical claims of progress.
关 键 词: 鼠疫; 严格措施; “死亡艺术”
