Abstract

abstract:Recent scenes of Syrian refugees arriving in Europe and the nationalist reflections they have engendered recall the discourses of foreign and native in antiquity, a theme addressed frequently in Attic tragedy. Euripides' Phoenician Maidens is a meditation on the theme of autochthony, a key ideological and mythological nexus of ideas about identity and community. The ideal of a homogeneous community symbolized by Athenians' autochthonous heritage fits uncomfortably with another Athenian ideal: hospitality and openness to strangers. The Phoenician Maidens of Euripides reflects on the theme of sameness and otherness, foreign and native, using the resources of theater to articulate a utopian resolution of these conflicting desires.

欧里庇得斯腓尼基的底比斯本土与雅典意识形态
最近叙利亚难民抵达欧洲的场景,以及由此引发的民族主义反思,让人想起了古代外国和本土的话语,这是阿提卡悲剧中经常出现的主题。欧里庇得斯的《腓尼基少女》是对本土主题的沉思,是关于身份和社区的关键意识形态和神话联系。以雅典人的本土传统为象征的同质社区的理想,与雅典人的另一个理想——热情好客、对陌生人开放——格格不入。《欧里庇得斯的腓尼基少女》反映了同一性和差异性、异族和本土的主题,利用戏剧的资源,清晰地表达了这些冲突欲望的乌托邦式解决方案。
