摘要
19世纪,描写圣地之旅的旅游文学在美国和欧洲掀起了一股热潮。这个语料库包括了朝圣者和探险家的游记,但本文研究的这两本游记都是非常独特的。它们是由挪威裔美国路德会旅行者写的,他们选择用挪威语在美国撰写和出版他们的旅行书籍。因此,Nehemias Tjernagel(1868-1958)和Ola Johann Særvold(1867-1937)的叙述是混合文化产物,出现在连接挪威、美国和地中海东部的移民流的交汇处。因此,对这些叙述的分析提供了一种新的看待美国东方主义的视角,它考虑了作者所来自的宗教、社会和政治背景。虽然他们都有相似的文化和宗教背景,但他们对圣地人民的看法,特别是对穆斯林和犹太人的看法却截然不同。
From the ‘New Country’ to the Holy Land: Two Norwegian-American Pilgrims’ Encounters in the Middle East
ABSTRACT The nineteenth century saw a massive surge, in both the United States and Europe, of travel literature about journeys to the Holy Land. This corpus included travelogues of both pilgrims and explorers but the two travelogues that are the objects of study in this article are quite unique. They were written by Norwegian-American Lutheran travellers who chose to write and publish books about their travels in Norwegian in the US. Thus, the accounts of Nehemias Tjernagel (1868–1958) and Ola Johann Særvold (1867–1937) are hybrid cultural productions that emerged at the intersection of a migratory flow that linked Norway, the US and the eastern Mediterranean. As a result, the analysis of the accounts offers a new take on American Orientalism that considers the religious, social and political contexts from which the authors came. Although they both have similar cultural and religious backgrounds, their views on people in the Holy Land, and particularly their views regarding Muslims and Jews, are distinct from one another.
