Abstract

Across the Persianate regions of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Eurasia, the discourse of modernization had a deep, perhaps even dominant aesthetic dimension. Apparently disparate anxieties about oriental indolence, homosexuality and unmanliness, flattery and unmeaning speech, and submission to despots all may be understood as elements of a coherent critique of a single literary mode: taghazzul. Insofar as ghazal was a “royal genre” (Ireneusz Opacki), it provided the formal-aesthetic framing for numerous literary and speech genres, and thus for the social and political order. In case studies from across the Persianate zone, this article considers how writers’ refusal of taghazzul, or its excision from their texts, became a recognizable gesture of disaffiliation from the Persianate. In the resulting reordering of the literary field, taghazzul took on new functions in relation to the Western category of lyric.

私人脱离的诗学:皇家体裁的回避姿态
在19世纪末和20世纪初欧亚大陆的波斯人地区,现代化的话语具有深刻的,甚至是主导的美学维度。对东方懒惰、同性恋和无网络、奉承和无意义的言论以及对暴君的顺从的明显不同的焦虑,都可以被理解为对单一文学模式的连贯批判的元素:taghazzul。就加扎勒是一种“皇家流派”而言(Ireneusz Opacki),它为许多文学和演讲流派提供了正式的美学框架,从而为社会和政治秩序提供了框架。在整个波斯人地区的案例研究中,本文考虑了作家拒绝塔哈祖尔,或将其从文本中删除,是如何成为一种可识别的与波斯人脱离的姿态的。在由此产生的文学领域的重新排序中,塔哈祖尔承担了与西方抒情范畴相关的新功能。
