我们所拥有的唯一身份——《了了》中弥赛亚主义时间哲学解读

The only identity we have——Interpretation of Messianism in time philosophy

美国新生代犹太作家乔纳森·萨福兰·弗尔的小说文本《了了》以寻根为线索,着力于对历史和文化进行想象性的重构,在重构之中,弗尔将弥赛亚主义的时间观念植入其中,强调从传统的宗教哲学来建构身份认同。这是弗尔以文学的方式理解自己犹太身份的一种尝试,也是犹太后裔延续犹太性的文化自觉。

Jonathan Safran Fair, a new-generation Jewish writer in the United States, focuses on the imaginative reconstruction of history and culture with the clue of root-seeking. In the process of reconstruction, Fair implants the concept of time in Messianism and emphasizes the construction of identity from traditional religious philosophy. It is an attempt to understand one＇s own Jewish identity in the way of learning, and it is also a cultural consciousness of Jewish descendants to continue their Jewish nature.
