Abstract

Abstract This paper looks at the call for a dialogue underlying Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel A Tale of Love and Darkness.1 As a peace activist,2 Oz depicts the Arab Palestinian under Israeli military occupation as a victim and reintroduces himself as a new, unorthodox Jew. In this context, the paper approaches the author-narrator’s message calling for a dialogue with the Palestinian other, albeit through a Chekhovian solution to an existentialist conflict entangling both the Arabs and the Jews over the Question of Palestine. Thanks to the complicity between the Western Colonial Project3 and the Zionist plan to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine, most of the Palestinian population was expelled and dispossessed. Oz condemns that complicity and stands out as a Jewish voice for peace. His narrative discourse implies that he is crossing a minefield while trying to help resuscitate the current stale-mate peace process in the Middle East.

《爱与黑暗的故事》中的阿莫斯·奥兹

摘要本文探讨了阿莫斯·奥兹自传体小说《爱与黑暗的故事》背后的对话呼吁。1作为一名和平活动家，2奥兹将以色列军事占领下的阿拉伯裔巴勒斯坦人描绘成受害者，并将自己重新塑造成一个新的、非正统的犹太人。在这种背景下，本文探讨了作者-叙述者呼吁与巴勒斯坦另一方对话的信息，尽管是通过契诃夫式的解决方案来解决阿拉伯人和犹太人在巴勒斯坦问题上的存在主义冲突。由于西方殖民项目3和犹太复国主义者在巴勒斯坦建立犹太人家园的计划之间的共谋，大多数巴勒斯坦人口被驱逐和剥夺了财产。奥兹谴责这种共谋行为，并作为犹太人争取和平的声音站出来。他的叙述话语暗示，他正在跨越雷区，同时试图帮助重振中东当前的坚定国家和平进程。

期刊介绍： In our post-Cartesian times human abilities are regarded as integrated and interacting abilities. Speaking, thinking, perceiving, having emotions need to be studied in interaction. Integration and interaction take place in dialogue. Scholars are called upon to go beyond reductive methods of abstraction and division and to take up the challenge of coming to terms with the complex whole. The conclusions drawn from reasoning about human behaviour in the humanities and social sciences have finally been proven by experiments in the natural sciences, especially neurology and sociobiology. What happens in the black box, can now, at least in part, be made visible. The journal intends to be an explicitly interdisciplinary journal reaching out to any discipline dealing with human abilities on the basis of consilience or the unity of knowledge. It is the challenge of post-Cartesian science to tackle the issue of how body, mind and language are interconnected and dialogically put to action. The journal invites papers which deal with ‘language and dialogue’ as an integrated whole in different languages and cultures and in different areas: everyday, institutional and literary, in theory and in practice, in business, in court, in the media, in politics and academia. In particular the humanities and social sciences are addressed: linguistics, literary studies, pragmatics, dialogue analysis, communication and cultural studies, applied linguistics, business studies, media studies, studies of language and the law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology and others. The journal Language and Dialogue is a peer reviewed journal and associated with the book series Dialogue Studies, edited by Edda Weigand.
