Abstract

In An Inquiry into the Modes of Existence, which addresses itself to the profound challenge of how to “compose” a common world in the Anthropocene, Bruno Latour proposes that the mode of religion [REL] offers a model for all the others—that of reprise. Emerging from the practice of biblical exegesis, reprise refers to an open-ended process of meaning making opposed to the rigid certainties of fundamentalism. [REL] also contributes a concept of radical transformation through love (“conversion”). For Latour, two events from the Virgin Mary’s life—the Annunciation and the Assumption—illustrate reprise and conversion, both of which are necessary in coming to terms with monogeism, the knowledge that there is only one world. This essay examines Latour’s proposed relationship between reprise and conversion through a consideration of late medieval Marian devotion. Focusing on vernacular accounts of Mary’s Assumption, it argues that reprise leads to violent as well as loving conversions; indeed, violence can proceed in the name of love. The essay concludes that composition, reprise, and conversion come together in ways that trouble late medieval accounts of the Assumption, the mode of religion, and life in the Anthropocene.
布鲁诺·拉图尔与[REL]的爱的假设
布鲁诺·拉图尔(Bruno Latour)在《生存模式探究》(An Inquiry into the Modes of Existence)一书中提出,宗教模式为所有其他人提供了一个模式——重演。重演源于圣经注释的实践,指的是一个开放式的意义形成过程,而不是原教旨主义的僵化确定性。[REL]还提出了一个通过爱进行彻底转变的概念(“转换”)。对拉图尔来说,圣母玛利亚一生中的两件事——报喜和升天——说明了重演和皈依,这两件事对于接受一元主义是必要的,即只有一个世界。本文通过对中世纪晚期玛丽安奉献精神的思考,探讨了拉图尔提出的重演与皈依之间的关系。它聚焦于对《圣母升天》的白话描述,认为重演会导致暴力和爱的皈依;事实上,暴力可以以爱的名义进行。文章的结论是,构成、重演和皈依结合在一起,困扰着中世纪晚期对圣母升天、宗教模式和人类世生活的描述。
