Abstract

Background. The author analyzes the texts of the Dune cycle in contexts of contemporary historiography, which proposed universal methods that allow analyzing “oriental” images in literature through the prism of constructing and deconstructing the narratives that form the image of Islam. Purpose. The purpose of the article is an “orientalist” reinterpretation of Islamic images in the novels belonging to the Dune cycle, including the texts of the original cycle and prequels presented by Dune, Dune Messiah, Dune. Butlerian Jihad and Dune. Paul. Materials and methods. The author uses the methodological tools offered in intellectual history and studies of nationalism, including the concept of the invention of traditions, which allows us to analyze the images of Islam in science fiction as one of the invented traditions of American mass literature using the texts of the Dune cycle as sources corpus. Orientalism as a method is used to analyze Muslim motifs in the prose of F. Herbert, B. Herbert and K. Anderson, which, as the author believes, were inspired by political, ideological and religious stimuli. The author believes that the orientalist approach is an effective interpretative model for an interdisciplinary analysis of American science fiction as a space for the development of Islamic images. Results. It is shown that the novels through the prism of images of Islam actualize and promote a unique ideological discourse and political message. The features and forms of political protest under religious Muslim slogans are analyzed. It is studied how the mobilization potential of political Islam is perceived as a form of legitimization of social and economic protest. An expanded understanding of jihad as both a religious war and a social class conflict is analyzed. It is shown that 1) the actualization of Muslim images in American science fiction was the result of the political activation of the East, 2) the authors of the texts actualized the anti-authoritarian and emancipatory potential of Islam.
沙丘小说中的政治伊斯兰形象:圣战作为一种政治抗议的想象与创造
背景。作者在当代史学的背景下分析了《沙丘》系列的文本,提出了一种普遍的方法,可以通过构建和解构构成伊斯兰形象的叙事的棱镜来分析文学中的“东方”形象。目的。本文的目的是对《沙丘》系列小说中的伊斯兰形象进行“东方主义”的重新解读,包括《沙丘》、《沙丘弥赛亚》、《沙丘》所呈现的原系列和前传的文本。巴特勒圣战和沙丘。保罗。材料和方法。作者使用思想史和民族主义研究中提供的方法论工具,包括传统发明的概念,这使我们能够以《沙丘》系列的文本为来源语料库,将科幻小说中的伊斯兰形象作为美国大众文学的发明传统之一来分析。本文运用东方学的方法分析了F.赫伯特、B.赫伯特和K.安德森散文中的穆斯林母题,作者认为这些母题是受到政治、意识形态和宗教刺激的启发。作者认为,东方学方法是跨学科分析美国科幻小说作为伊斯兰形象发展空间的有效解释模式。结果。研究表明,这些小说通过伊斯兰形象的棱镜,实现和传播了一种独特的意识形态话语和政治信息。分析了穆斯林宗教性口号下的政治抗议的特点和形式。它研究了政治伊斯兰的动员潜力如何被视为社会和经济抗议合法化的一种形式。本文分析了对圣战既是宗教战争又是社会阶级冲突的扩展理解。结果表明:1)美国科幻小说中穆斯林形象的实现化是东方政治激活的结果;2)文本作者实现化了伊斯兰教的反专制和解放潜能。
