Abstract

This article focuses on the social existence of the Jain community, as exhibited in literary production in early modern India. The existing historiography sometimes tends to make Jain epistemology subservient to contemporary political culture. One must be cautious in approaching the tension between identitarian stability and identitarian volatility and between social textures and cultural mobility beyond the binarities of literary cultures and mundane survival with reference to our existing knowledge of Jainology. The volatile world of religiosity in early modern India tended to shape circumstances that both enforced and drew upon polemical meanings arising out of hybrid identities and cultural intermediacy. Therein lie diverse and multiple possibilities of literary discourse on the multiple religious identities at the core of the histories of Jainism in early modern South Asia.
现代早期南亚的历史书写与耆那教文学创作
本文重点探讨耆那教在现代早期印度文学创作中的社会存在。现有史学有时倾向于使耆那教认识论服从于当代政治文化。我们必须谨慎对待身份稳定性与身份易变性之间的紧张关系,以及超越文学文化与世俗生存二元性的社会质地与文化流动性之间的紧张关系,并参照我们现有的耆那教学知识。近代早期印度的宗教世界动荡不安,这往往会形成一种环境,既强化了混合身份和文化中间性所产生的论战意义,又利用了这种论战意义。在现代早期南亚的耆那教历史中,关于多重宗教身份的文学论述具有多种多样的可能性。
