Abstract

ABSTRACT: In Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels ( The Origin of German Tragic Drama , 1928), Walter Benjamin illustrates his argument on baroque sovereignty, which responds to Carl Schmitt's political theology, with a fragment from Diego Saavedra Fajardo's Empresas políticas . The quotation has hitherto been overlooked in scholarly discussions, which have often sidelined the role played by the seventeenth-century texts that represent the actual subject of Ursprung , and especially those texts from the Spanish baroque. The aim of this article is to reconsider Benjamin's interpretation of baroque political theory, and thus his critique of Schmitt, by engaging with the work of Saavedra Fajardo.

巴洛克主权再思考：瓦尔特-本雅明引述迭戈-萨维德拉-法哈多的话

摘要：在《Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels》（《德国悲剧戏剧的起源》，1928 年）一书中，瓦尔特-本雅明用 Diego Saavedra Fajardo 的《Empresas políticas》中的一个片段说明了他关于巴洛克主权的论点，这是对卡尔-施米特的政治神学的回应。迄今为止，这段引文在学术讨论中一直被忽视，而代表 Ursprung 实际主题的十七世纪文本，尤其是西班牙巴洛克时期的文本所发挥的作用往往被忽视。本文旨在通过萨维德拉-法哈多的作品，重新考虑本雅明对巴洛克政治理论的诠释，以及他对施米特的批判。
