Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the dynamics of fin-de-siècle European antisemitism through the lens of two gothic novels, Jules Verne’s Le Château des Carpathes and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The complexities of Verne’s depictions of Jews are placed in the wider context of persecution, integration and exclusion, and economic characterisations of ‘the Jew’ in Western and Eastern Europe. This is compared with the visceral fear of the ‘other’ as expressed in Dracula. The differences between implicit and explicit prejudice in the two texts are considered as components of the wider antisemitic discourse present in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century.

“一个好人……虽然有点像闪米特人”:儒勒·凡尔纳的《喀尔巴特斯的孩子》和布拉姆·斯托克的《德古拉》中的犹太人和反犹主义
摘要本文以儒勒·凡尔纳的《Carpathes城堡》和布拉姆·斯托克的《德古拉》两部哥特式小说为视角,考察了欧洲反犹太主义的发展动态。凡尔纳对犹太人描述的复杂性被置于西欧和东欧对“犹太人”的迫害、融合和排斥以及经济特征的更广泛背景下。这与《德古拉》中表达的对“他者”发自内心的恐惧相比。这两个文本中隐含和显性偏见之间的差异被认为是19世纪末欧洲更广泛的反犹太主义话语的组成部分。
