Abstract

In the late medieval England, the long futile wars, famine and death tolls caused by the plagues highlighted the value of laboring bodies. Attitudes to labor changed, especially labor for food production. The attitude of the clergy, however, was paradoxical towards labor. According to the Christian doctrine and ethics, work was a virtue, but, practically speakin, in the feudal system of the medieval period, manual work was allotted to the peasants. To cope with this ideological flaw, the clergy triumphed in their (non-productive) clerical labor and services, meditative and ascetic life. Failure in achieving these ideals is depicted and satirized in the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales, by the pilgrim-Chaucer’s highlighting the significance of both food and foodmakers.
赞美动物劳动者&乔叟《总序》中的劳动者身体
在中世纪晚期的英国,漫长而徒劳的战争、饥荒和瘟疫造成的死亡人数凸显了劳动身体的价值。对劳动力的态度发生了变化,尤其是对粮食生产的劳动力。然而,神职人员对劳工的态度是矛盾的。根据基督教的教义和伦理,劳动是一种美德,但实际上,在中世纪的封建制度中,体力劳动是分配给农民的。为了克服这种意识形态上的缺陷,神职人员在他们(非生产性)的神职工作和服务、冥想和苦行生活中取得了胜利。在《坎特伯雷故事集》的总序中,朝圣者乔叟对这些理想的失败进行了描写和讽刺,他强调了食物和食物制造者的重要性。
