“弑摩西者”:异端重释的传承——论苏珊·汉德尔曼的犹太教书写观

"The Slayers of Moses":Renewal of the Heretical Reinterpretation——On Susan Handelman's Ideas of Writing in Judaism

苏珊.汉德尔曼在其两部犹太教研究代表性著作中梳理了犹太教书写观,在她看来,书写与《托拉》在犹太教中具有神圣的地位,这与犹太教信仰一种"不在场"的、或者"隐退"的、只体现为痕迹的上帝有关。同时,她认为犹太教长久以来都在因循一种异端的阐释模式,即以移置、重写的方式对待传统。但是,也正是对这种"异端"思想的不断吸收,才使得传统得以在更新中传承。在汉德尔曼看来,弗洛伊德和德里达等人的当代理论其实同样遵循着这一思路,因此他们也被喻为"弑摩西者"。

In Susan Handelman＇s two representative works on Judaist studies,she explicates ideas of writing in Judaism.According to her,writing and the Torah possess divine status in Judaism.Accordingly,Jewish people believe in an ＂absent＂ or withdrawn God,who is only embodied in trace.Moreover,in her opinion,Judaism has used a heretical hermeneutic method for a long time,which treats the tradition in the manner of displacement and re-writing.However,it is precisely through the absorption of these ＂heretical＂ ideas that the tradition can be renewed.In the eyes of Handelman,this approach can be seen in the contemporary theories of Freud and Derrida,among others,who are therefore considered ＂the slayers of Moses＂.
