Abstract

Religious identity enters the pig’s history later than we’d expect. Although today the dietary avoidance of pork is a conspicuous feature of Judaism and Islam, in antiquity and for a good stretch of the early Middle Ages it was not a prominent symbol of religious difference. But over time, pigs became increasingly “Christianized,” in the sense that Christians used them as metaphors for elucidating complex facets of their culture, as well as to antagonize non-Christians.
猪的基督教化
宗教身份进入猪的历史比我们想象的要晚。虽然今天饮食中不吃猪肉是犹太教和伊斯兰教的一个显著特征,但在古代和中世纪早期的很长一段时间里,它并不是宗教差异的一个突出象征。但随着时间的推移,猪变得越来越“基督教化”,从某种意义上说,基督徒用它们作为隐喻来阐明他们文化的复杂方面,以及对抗非基督徒。
