Abstract

This article nominates Bruno Snell’s Discovery of the Mind (1946; trans. 1953) as an Undead Text on the basis of three criteria. The article examines first the persistence of a Snellian story about the Greeks as the ancestors of modern Europe within the discipline of classics, before considering the broader question of how Undead Texts interact with Undead (Grand) Narratives. It then considers Discovery as an Undead Narrative in its symbiotic relationship with E. R. Dodds’s Greeks and the Irrational, which remains a standard-bearer of the narrative of the Greeks as Other to the moderns. In its final analysis, the article looks to Discovery as itself a perennially productive site for plotting the coordinates of Same and Other in relationship to the ancient Greeks, arguing that such questions are as much about enabling new attachments to the “classical” past as they are about conservative claims of heritage or, conversely, estrangement from the present.

布鲁诺·斯内尔，《心灵的发现》（1946年；1953年）

本文提名布鲁诺·斯内尔的《心灵的发现》(1946;反式。1953)作为不死文本的依据是三个标准。本文首先考察了斯涅利亚人关于希腊人作为现代欧洲的祖先的故事在古典学科中的持续性，然后考虑了亡灵文本如何与亡灵(大)叙事相互作用的更广泛的问题。然后，它将《发现》视为与E. R. Dodds的《希腊人与非理性》的共生关系中的一种亡灵叙事，后者仍然是希腊人作为现代人的他者的叙事的标志。在最后的分析中，这篇文章把“发现”本身看作是一个长期有效的地点，用来绘制“同一”和“他者”与古希腊关系的坐标。文章认为，这些问题既是关于对“古典”过去的新的依恋，也是关于对遗产的保守主张，或者相反，与现在的疏远。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
