摘要

关于归来的死者的学术倾向于将肉体的复仇者或复活的尸体与非肉体的鬼魂或从死后归来的幻影进行对比。这篇文章认为,如此清晰地区分物质和精神的幻影是有误导性的。这篇文章聚焦于大约1200年至大约1750年期间在英国讨论的叙述,表明返回的死者的尸体一直模糊不清。流行的故事赋予了幻影精神和物质双重品质,而中世纪和现代早期关于基本身体的理论为理解看似虚幻的幽灵如何与物质世界互动提供了一个哲学框架。这篇文章进一步表明,通过关注对“精神肉体”的理解如何随着时间的推移而变化,我们可能会更好地理解鬼魂的历史,以及前现代身体的历史。

Bodies of earth and air: corporeality and spirituality in pre-modern British narratives of the undead
ABSTRACT Scholarship on the returning dead has tended to contrast corporeal revenants, or risen corpses, with incorporeal ghosts, or phantoms returning from the afterlife. This article argues that it is misleading to draw so clean a distinction between material and spiritual apparitions. Focusing on accounts discussed in Britain between c.1200 and c.1750, the article demonstrates that the bodies of the returning dead were persistently ambiguous. Popular stories endowed apparitions with both spiritual and corporeal qualities, while medieval and early modern theories about elemental bodies offered a philosophical framework for understanding how apparently insubstantial spectres could interact with the material world. The article further suggests that we might better understand the history of ghosts, and of pre-modern bodies generally, by attending to how understandings of ‘spiritual corporeality’ changed over time.
