女魔·女人·女战士:莉莉丝形象溯源和流变

Female Demon, Woman, Female Warrior: On Lilith's Image Traces and Changes

在犹太教传说中,莉莉丝是亚当的第一任配偶,上帝创造的第一个女人。一方面,其名字和形象在《圣经》中难以寻觅;另一方面,其名字在艺术史上并不鲜见,不同时期的文艺作品结合当时关于女性的书写潮流,呈现出不同的莉莉丝形象。这个形象经历了从“女魔”到“女人”再到强大的“女战士”的转变历程。这种去魅的背后传递的文化流变,不仅体现了文艺作品中女性角色的逐渐立体化,而且丰富了女性本身的情感诉求,是女性意识随时代发展而觉醒的体现。

In Jewish folklore,Lilith was Adam's first consort and the first woman God had created.On the one hand,her name and image are nowhere to be found in the Bible.On the other hand,her name is not uncommon in art history,and literary works from different periods combined with the writing trends about women at that time present different images of Lilith.This image has undergone a transformation from"female demon"to"woman"to powerful"female warrior".The cultural flow transmitted behind this transformation process not only reflects the gradual three-dimensional role of women in literary and artistic works but also enriches the emotional appeal of women themselves,which is the embodiment of the awakening of women's consciousness through human history.
