不同时期西方斗兽运动中的暴力叙事

The Violence Narrative of Western Animal Fighting Sports in Different Periods

暴力与体育有着不解之缘,一些运动与暴力从来都密不可分。根据西方斗兽运动历史出场顺序的先后,以克里特"抚牛腾跃"、古罗马"斗兽"和西班牙"斗牛"为节点,对不同时期斗兽运动中暴力叙事的表现与特征进行探究。结果发现:在宗教虔诚下,克里特"抚牛腾跃"表现为暴力的仪式性消解;在尚武强力的古罗马,斗兽则成了暴力的嗜血表演;而西班牙斗牛,却演绎成为暴力的悲剧艺术。在西方斗兽运动中,暴力从来都不是目的,而是达成宗教虔诚、构建嗜血表演和生成悲剧艺术的手段。

Violence has a bond with sport,and certain sports and violence have never been separable. The present study explores chronologically the representations and features of the violence narratives of animal fighting sports in different periods,looking in particular at ＂bull-leaping＂of Crete,＂animal fighting＂of ancient Rome and Spanish＂bullfight＂. We have found that under religious piety,＂bull-leaping＂of Crete stood for a ritual destruction of violence,and ＂animal fighting＂of Rome,where military force was advocated,was a performance of bloodthirsty violence,and the Spanish bullfight,however,graduated into a tragic art of violence. In the West animal fighting,violence has never been its purpose,but the means to religiosity,bloodlust performance and tragic art.
