In this article I consider medieval blood imagery in the paintings, films and journals of Derek Jarman, focusing on works made between 1989-1993. Taking a transhistorical comparative approach, I analyse Jarman's images alongside his medieval sources, primarily Julian of Norwich's Revelations and Gerard of Cremona's translation of Ibn Sīnā's (Avicenna's) al-Qa'n ū n fī al-tibb (Canon of Medicine). In addition, I find my own commonalities between Jarman and the medieval, for example, juxtaposing his Queer series of paintings with MS Egerton 1821. Critics have explored the medieval as a site of historical precedent for the stigmatisation of disease, providing a reservoir of images of leprosy and plague which inform the discourse of AIDS as immoral pollution. However I follow Jarman's lead in seeking new avenues through the medieval in relation to the AIDS crisis. Refusing to accept the discourses which cast his HIV+ blood as the ultimate symbol of pollution and death, Jarman mobilised the aesthetics and imagery of medieval affective devotion as a powerful alternative. Through the deployment of these traditions, HIV+ blood becomes holy blood, the source of salvation, desire, community and healing.
在这篇文章中,我探讨了德里克-贾曼的绘画、电影和日记中的中世纪血腥图像,重点是 1989-1993 年间的作品。我采用一种跨历史的比较方法,将贾曼的图像与他的中世纪资料(主要是诺威奇的朱利安的《启示录》和克雷莫纳的杰拉德对伊本-西纳(阿维森纳)的《医典》(al-Qa'n ū n fī al-tibb)的翻译)一起进行分析。此外,我还发现了贾曼与中世纪之间的共通之处,例如,将他的 "同性恋者"(Queer)系列画作与《埃格顿1821》(MS Egerton 1821)并列。评论家们将中世纪作为疾病污名化的历史先例,提供了麻风病和瘟疫的形象库,为艾滋病作为不道德污染的论述提供了依据。然而,我跟随贾曼的脚步,通过中世纪寻求与艾滋病危机相关的新途径。贾曼拒绝接受将其艾滋病毒携带者的血液作为污染和死亡的终极象征的论述,他调动了中世纪情感奉献的美学和意象作为一种强有力的替代。通过对这些传统的运用,HIV+血液变成了圣血,成为救赎、欲望、群体和治愈的源泉。
