Abstract The article takes as its starting point a reading of Jorge Luis Borges’ short story Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote, focusing on the first passage from Cervantes’ Quijote that is quoted verbatim in the text. An invocation of the river nymphs and the nymph Echo („las ninfas de los ríos, la húmida y dolorosa Eco“), it is singled out by the narrator as bearing the voice of Pierre Menard despite having never been attempted by him in his project of writing Don Quijote again. I argue that the invocation of Echo does not point to a duplication of the text. Rather, Echo’s early modern acceptation, that of a dialogue partner that not only answers, but answers back and says different things with the same words, encapsulates Menard’s project as such and, beyond that, a theory of literary resonance. Paul Valery’s poems and essays, to which Borges’ story variously alludes, underpin this reading of Echo as the patron saint of a theory of resonance that accounts for the necessary openness of literary texts to deviant interpretations, in particular those that could not have been foreseen or desired by their authors.
摘要本文以博尔赫斯的短篇小说《吉诃德的作者彼埃尔·梅纳德》为切入点，重点考察了文中逐字引用的塞万提斯《吉诃德》中的第一段。这是对河中仙女和仙女回声的召唤(las ninfas de los ríos, la húmida y dolorosa Eco)，它被叙述者挑选出来作为皮埃尔·梅纳德的声音尽管他从未尝试过在他写堂吉诃德的计划中再次尝试过。我认为，Echo的调用并不指向文本的复制。相反，回声的早期现代接受，一个对话伙伴不仅回答，而且回答，用同样的话说不同的事情，概括了梅纳德的项目，除此之外，文学共鸣理论。保罗·瓦莱里的诗歌和随笔，博尔赫斯的故事中也有不同的暗示，支持了对回声的解读，作为共鸣理论的守护神，这种共鸣理论解释了文学文本对越轨解释的必要开放性，特别是那些作者无法预见或期望的。

Abstract The present article aims to demonstrate how ethnography is present, discussed, and criticized in Stefano D’Arrigo’s novel Horcynus Orca (1975). Through a comparison with a passage from Claude Lévi-Strauss’s Tristes Tropiques (1955), the novel is shown to adopt and challenge central tenets of ethnography. D’Arrigo imagines the possibility of an ‘ethnographer from within,’ a member of a Sicilian fishermen community who, by virtue of his personal experience, possesses the necessary distance to report about his community of origin, yet cannot help but impact it significantly as he in turn brings along and into the community a different system of thought. The article exposes the multiple inversions and subversions that the novel operates with respect to the dichotomic pairs nature/culture, civilized/primitive, indigenous/foreign, as well as to ethnography itself by focussing on the occurrence of ethnographic documents in key passages of the novel. Lévi-Strauss’s Tristes Tropiques and possibly to an even greater extent Horcynus Orca are concerned with the contradictions inherent in the study of humankind, its various manifestations, and its position in the world, without aspiring to resolve them in any univocal or definitive way.
摘要:本文旨在展示Stefano D 'Arrigo的小说Horcynus Orca(1975)中民族志是如何出现、讨论和批评的。通过与克洛德·拉斯特劳斯的《热带风暴》(1955)中的一段进行比较，小说采用并挑战了民族志的核心原则。D ' arrigo想象了一个“来自内部的人种学家”的可能性，一个西西里渔民社区的成员，凭借他的个人经历，拥有必要的距离来报道他的社区起源，但却无法帮助它产生重大影响，因为他反过来把一种不同的思想体系带进了社区。本文通过关注小说中关键段落中出现的民族志文献，揭示了小说在自然/文化、文明/原始、本土/外国的二元对立关系以及民族志本身方面所进行的多重倒置和颠覆。lastvi - strauss的《Tristes Tropiques》和可能更大程度上的《Horcynus Orca》关注的是人类研究中固有的矛盾，它的各种表现形式，以及它在世界上的地位，而不是渴望以任何明确或明确的方式解决它们。

Abstract This article foregrounds human epistemological disorientation in the Orlando furioso with a view to theological implications which, if not rigorously followed up by Ariosto’s verse (too supple to endure rigor), are nevertheless made possible by its discourse. Beginning with the recurring fantasy-inducing impotence of will (madness) that unite the narrator with the characters, the article examines the Furioso’s own transition from romance to epic mode, aiming to highlight the survival of romance and its subversion of the epistemological exhaustiveness of the epic. By turning to the theological implications of the human epistemological condition that the Orlando furioso repeatedly evokes, it suggests how a functional agnosticism could begin to operate beneath the surface of theic humanist fictions and thought.

Abstract The paper reads Alfred Döblin’s novel Amazonas (1937/1938) in the context of current debates about world literature. It argues that these debates not only refer to a certain group of texts or to a literary system, but concern problems of reading and representation, namely how to read literature beyond the paradigms of national and comparative literature and how to represent a world, especially the modern globalized and secularized world. Döblin’s novel refers to different meanings of ‘world’ that are implied in these questions: It depicts the ‘discovery’ and violent colonization of the ‘New World’ both from the perspective of the indigene people and the Europeans, as well as the ‘Jesuit republic’ as a different project of colonization with an utopian aspect. Written in exile, it also uses the detour via an exotic setting to diagnose a crisis of Europe. Finally it tries to develop a narrative form beyond the novel, using different forms of mythic but also topographic narration which are figured as the materiality of the Amazonas-‘stream.’

Abstract Thomas Mann’s Novel, The Magic Mountain, is characterized by the opposition of two distinct worlds. A comparative study of various novels that share the ‘two worlds’ motif demonstrates to us that the existence of the two worlds plays an essential role in the Bildungsroman. The experience with the new possibilities of life at the sanatorium has given Hans Castorp, the hero of The Magic Mountain, the access to the ideal world. Towards the end of the novel, Castorp has denied the material understanding of death, love and disease that constitutes the world of reality and has thus attained an inward transcendence, which, as Ying-shih Yü argues, characterizes the Chinese intellectual world. Mann’s conception of Bildung as pointing to socialization, which is exemplified by Castorp’s transformation, is apparently opposed to the notion of Bildung as individualization. What is implied in Castorp’s integration into the historical context, the war, is far from a failure of the Bildung, but the noblest form of its triumph.
