Abstract

Abstract:This article seeks to rectify two omissions with regard to the poetry of Yona Wallach—the discussion of her later poetry in particular and the discussion of theology in her poems in general—by reading these two aspects side by side. I argue that the most significant change between Wallach's early and later poetry involves a prosodic turn. While the early poems are short and many of them portray surrealistic figures and colorful images, the later poems are characterized either by extreme directness, or by their length. In terms of theology, although there are extensive discussions of mysticism in Wallach's poetry, they often contribute to the building of an "author's name" rather than a specific understanding of her poetry and its poetics. Consequently, I propose a comprehensive look at her later poetry and discuss how form and content are integrated in these works. I will also examine how the approach of this central poet in Israeli culture to questions of secularization and religiosity illuminates the processes of secularization versus increased religiosity in Israel.

“我要一条河/没有小庙”:尤纳·瓦拉赫后期诗歌的诗学与神学
摘要:本文试图通过对尤娜·瓦拉赫诗歌的两个方面进行并列阅读,来纠正关于她诗歌的两个疏漏——特别是对她后期诗歌的讨论和对她诗歌中神学的讨论。我认为瓦拉赫早期和晚期诗歌之间最重要的变化包括韵律的转变。早期的诗歌短小精悍,很多都描绘了超现实主义的人物和丰富多彩的形象,而后期的诗歌则以极端的直接或冗长为特点。在神学方面,虽然瓦拉赫诗歌中有大量关于神秘主义的讨论,但这些讨论往往有助于建立一个“作者的名字”,而不是对她的诗歌及其诗学的具体理解。因此,我建议全面审视她的后期诗歌,并讨论如何在这些作品中整合形式和内容。我还将研究以色列文化中这位核心诗人对世俗化和宗教虔诚问题的态度如何阐明以色列世俗化与宗教虔诚增加的过程。
