摘要

这篇文章重新审视了维吉尔传统中一个著名的主题,即塞尔维乌斯对女演员沃鲁姆妮娅·瑟里斯戏剧化演绎维吉尔第六首《尾声》的激烈争论。通过将调查重点从严格意义上的历史问题转移到“它发生了吗?”它突破、识别并解开了导致Servius信息贬值的偏见联系。我认为,对这一证据的搁置或驳回,更多地教会了我们关于我们自己根深蒂固的文化和纪律继承的假设,而不是关于在共和国晚期罗马可能发生的事情。对舞台上重新调解高级诗歌的证据的仔细研究表明,Cytheris完全有可能表演维吉尔杰作的戏剧化版本。事实上,故事的核心是精英诗歌与专业舞台艺术家世界的融合。此外,Cytheris可能表演的曲目与哑剧舞蹈艺术成熟期的神话核心不谋而合,这引发了关于普鲁塔克(Mor.748a)恰当地称之为诗歌和舞蹈艺术之间“充分的联系和相互纠缠”的关键问题。认真对待塞尔维乌斯让我们有动力更果断地探索罗马生活的各个层面,这些层面由于几个世纪以来我们对罗马知识景观的调查中“文本”的系统特权而被混乱地边缘化。即使Servius的摘录只不过是一个“神话”,一个“轶事”,就像这样的叙述一样,这也是一个非常有用的摘录,前提是我们愿意将其用于对精英和流行文化之间文化能量的“流通”进行更大的调查。

On Taking our Sources Seriously: Servius and the Theatrical Life of Vergil's Eclogues
This article revisits a famous staple of the Vergilian tradition, Servius's heavily contested scholion on the actress Volumnia Cytheris's theatrical rendition of Vergil's sixth Eclogue. By shifting the focus of inquiry from the strictly historical question ‘did it happen?’ it cuts through, identifies and disentangles a nexus of prejudices which have led to the devaluing of Servius's information. The sidelining or dismissal of this piece of evidence, I argue, has more to teach us about our own culturally entrenched and discipline-inherited assumptions than about what could have happened in late Republican Rome. Scrutiny of the evidence on the stage re-mediation of high poetry suggests it is entirely plausible that Cytheris would have performed a theatricalized version of Vergil's masterpiece. Indeed at the very heart of the story lies the convergence between élite poetry and the world of professional stage artists. Moreover, Cytheris's possible performance of a repertoire that coincides with the mythological core of pantomime dancing in its artistic maturity opens pivotal questions concerning what Plutarch (Mor.748a) aptly calls the “full association and mutual entanglement” between the arts of poetry and dance. Taking Servius seriously gives us the impetus to explore more decisively dimensions of Roman life that have been messily sidelined as a result of the systematic privileging of “texts” in our surveys of Roman intellectual landscapes over the centuries. Even if Servius's extract turned out to be no more than a “myth”, an “anecdote”, as such narratives go, this is an incredibly helpful one, provided we are willing to press it into the service of larger inquiries regarding the “circulation” of cultural energy between élite and popular culture.
