当代以色列小说中的圣城意象

The Image of Holy City in Contemporary Israelite Novels

在圣城辉煌历史的重压下,以色列作家在复国的欣喜被战争和恐惧耗尽后,强烈地投射出一种不堪文化重负的群体痛苦呻吟和个体灾难意识。这致使圣殿/圣城/圣地被毁的历史传说和残留于文化传统中的精神圣殿遭遇现实的尴尬,并由此带来人们生存的幻灭感。曾经获得救赎的精神支柱转变为阻碍走进未来的精神牢笼,纠结不清的耶路撒冷城在当代希伯来文学的书写中遭遇了前所未有的矛盾、分裂与困惑。耶路撒冷到底是天堂还是引发灾难的地狱?是重新回归后的犹太人思慕千年的心灵自由乡还是精神集中营?文学重拾那份历史记忆是再触伤痛还是寻找解脱?本文试着对这些矛盾与悖论在文学表现中的不可解性作出可能的文化分析。

Under the heavy pressure of glorious history of the holy city, Israelite writers have strongly casted collective painful groans and individual disaster awareness of not being able to bear cultural loads after their joys of recovering country are completely replaced by wars and alarms. Such a cast has made the historical legends of holy city and spiritual temple of cultural traditions realistically embarrassed, which has resulted in human being＇s disillusionment of existence. Consequently, the entangled Jerusalem , regarded as a spiritual prop in the past , but now as a spiritual cage, has met with unprecedented contradictions , splits and confusions in the contemporary literary writings . Then, is Jerusalem the heaven or hell？ Does the literature pick up the historical memory for touching the pain again or seeking relief？ Is the returned holy land a free soul homeland or a spiritual camp for Jews？ This paper aims to make a cultural analysis of those contradictions and paradoxes presented in the literature.
