异国都市中的文化际遇与艺术奇遇——评海涅小说《佛罗伦萨之夜·第二夜》

On "The Second Night" in Heinrich Heine's Florentine Nights

本文以海涅发表于1836年的短篇小说《佛罗伦萨之夜》中的第二部分、即"第二夜"为分析对象,从作品中伦敦与巴黎这两个城市的对比及其意蕴入手,试图揭示从他者形象的描绘、塑造到套话的形成、传播这一动力学流程,梳理互为参照的英、法、意、德四国文化谱系所展示的欧洲文化发展脉络,剖析异国形象对于德国文化自我建构的启示学意义。文章立足于城市对比在作品中的叙事作用,从伦敦舞蹈印象——巴黎身世讲述——巴黎午夜重舞这三步曲,来挖掘女主人公独舞的涵义,及舞蹈在法国文化中的重要意义。

This paper focuses on the second part of Heinrich Heine's Florentine Nights,'The Second Night.' It compares the cultural identities of the two cities of London and Paris,and,by drawing up the dynamics from the creation of the Other to the formation of the Cliché,attempts to sort out the European cultural development,that is,the cultural pedigree of Britain,France,Germany and Italy,and thus reveals the revelatory import of alien images for the construction of German cultural identity.It also explores the impetus of the City images presented to the narrative.By looking into the first dance in London,life experience in Paris,and second dance in midnight Paris,it unveils the implication of the heroine's solo dance and the significance of dance in French culture.
