中文简介:
人们很容易将爱视为一种“通用语言”,但关于爱的观念是否很容易跨越历史、文化和身份?在本课程中,我们将遇到一些来自中世纪作家和人物的关于爱情和性的一些令人惊讶甚至令人不安的想法:例如,已婚人士永远不会恋爱,最令人满意的浪漫爱情包含痛苦和暴力,强烈的色情快感可以在独身服侍上帝中找到。通过亚瑟王的浪漫故事、乔叟的坎特伯雷故事集、情书、神秘的幻象等,我们将探索中世纪对婚姻、性和性别角色的态度。关于中世纪的独特性,这些观点能教给我们什么,以及中世纪关于爱情的观念如何继续影响我们自己文化的信仰和幻想?
课程简介: It is easy to think of love as a “universal language” - but do ideas about love translate easily across history, culture, and identity? In this course, we will encounter some surprising, even disturbing ideas about love and sex from medieval writers and characters: For instance, that married people can never be in love, that the most satisfying romantic love incorporates pain and violence, and that intense erotic pleasure can be found in celibate service to God. Through Arthurian romances, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, love letters, mystical visions, and more, we will explore medieval attitudes toward marriage, sexuality, and gender roles. What can these perspectives teach us about the uniqueness of the Middle Ages—and how do medieval ideas about love continue to influence the beliefs and fantasies of our own culture?
关 键 词: 通用语言; 跨越历史; 浪漫故事
