摘要

这本及时的书探讨了拉丁文学中瘟疫的两种矛盾统一的叙述:解体和重建。加德纳分析了罗马人对“僵尸式”瘟疫叙事的处理方式,不仅是毁灭性的死亡情节,更广泛地说,是末日和后末日叙事,探讨毁灭之后会发生什么。加德纳从一个简单的概念开始,即影响个人语料库的疾病为政治语料库提供了一个方便的隐喻,他得出了一系列复杂的细微差别,这些细微差别隐藏在罗马传染病的多重属性中。鼠疫通过液化、溶解和腐烂来消灭个人身体和家庭关系;这种对个人的毁灭创造了一个白板,一个新的社会政治集体可以在上面书写。

Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature by Hunter H. Gardner (review)
his timely book explores two paradoxically unified narratives of plague in Latin literature: dissolution and reconstitution. Gardner analyzes Roman approaches to “zombie-esque” plague narratives not merely as ruinous episodes of death but, more broadly, as apocalyptic and postapocalyptic narratives, asking what comes after destruction. Beginning with the simple notion that disease affecting individual corpora offers a convenient metaphor for the political corpus , Gardner draws out a range of complex nuances latent in the multivalent nature of Roman contagion. Plague erases individual bodies and familial ties through liquefaction, dissolution and decay; this destruction of the individual cre-ates a tabula rasa on which a new socio-political collective can be written.
