摘要

摘要:《库什纳》是一部 12 世纪早期的波斯史诗,它将伊朗古代的康德兹救世主传说与基于旅行者报告的有关中国和朝鲜的最新地理知识结合在一起。贝西拉在叙事中的救世主角色、它的对偶位置以及它的准虚构地位都是乌托邦的典型特征,但对贝西拉的社会却知之甚少。库什纳》反而强调了天堂形成的途径,包括贝西拉一神论信条的理性起源、有机生长、帝国翻译、旅行和地理知识。库什纳的普世一神教愿景预示了后来的乌托邦故事 Hayy ibn Yaqzan,与伊斯兰政治理论的发展有着重要联系。因此,《贝西拉》的案例表明,现代早期的乌托邦体裁深深植根于中世纪的旅行和旅行者话语中。

Utopia’s Cauldron: Travelers’ Lore and Korea (“Besila”) in the Persian Epic of Kush the Tusked
abstract:Besila is a paradisical setting in the Kushnameh, an early twelfth-century Persian epic that combines the ancient Iranian messianic legend of Kangdez with more recent geographical knowledge, based on travelers' reports, of China and Korea. Besila’s messianic role in the narrative, its antipodal location, and its quasi-fictional status are quintessentially utopian, and yet little is revealed about the society of Besila. The Kushnameh instead emphasizes the means by which paradises are formed, including the rational origins of Besila’s monotheistic creed, organic growth, translatio imperii, travel, and geographical knowledge. The Kushnameh’s vision of universal monotheism anticipates the story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan, a later utopia with important connections to the development of Islamic political theory. The case of Besila thus suggests that the early modern genre of utopia has deep roots in the medieval discourse of travel and travelers.
