Abstract

The following article conducts two case studies into the premodern caste societies of medieval Bengal and early modern Japan. The Pirali Brahmins in Bengal and eta-hinin castes of Japan—both became scapegoats during these periods and were subject to popular disgust and stigma. The common aspects are that they were both close to the centres of power, and that these castes were feared in the ancient period for their supernatural prowess and they served as ritual scapegoats in pollution cleaning rituals. How they both became actual scapegoats from being ritual scapegoats is explored in this article using the framework popularized by the works of René Girard.

从仪式上的替罪羊到真正的替罪羊

以下文章对中世纪孟加拉和现代日本早期的前现代种姓社会进行了两个案例研究。孟加拉的比拉利婆罗门和日本的埃塔希宁种姓在这段时期都成为替罪羊，并受到民众的厌恶和污名。共同的方面是，他们都接近权力中心，这些种姓在古代因其超自然的能力而受到恐惧，他们在清洁污染的仪式中充当了仪式替罪羊。本文运用勒内·吉拉德作品推广的框架，探讨了他们是如何从仪式替罪羊变成真正的替罪羊的。
