Abstract

Abstract:Ẓahīrī Samarqandī's Sindbād-nāmeh, written ca. 1160-1164 CE, is the oldest extant Persian version of the frame tale known as "The Seven Sages." Through a comparison with near-contemporary ethics, this article argues that the Sindbād-nāmeh provided "working through emotion" tales for its male readership. Some of the tales in the Sindbād-nāmeh typically presented as warning against the dangers of haste are, on a deeper level, narrating the consequences of anger, or in some cases, fear. Furthermore, stories framed as 'wiles of women tales' also warn against other 'vices of the soul' such as excessive appetite or desire, while other tales address male sexual anxieties.

愤怒的男人：论撒马尔罕信德省的情感和男子气概

摘要：Ẓ阿的《辛德故事》（Sindbād-nāmeh）写于公元前1160-1164年，是现存最古老的波斯版框架故事，被称为“七贤”。通过与近现代伦理学的比较，本文认为辛德故事为其男性读者提供了“通过情感工作”的故事。Sindbād-nāmeh中的一些故事通常被用来警告匆忙的危险，在更深层次上，它们讲述了愤怒的后果，或者在某些情况下，恐惧。此外，被框定为“女人的诡计故事”的故事也警告其他“灵魂的恶习”，如过度食欲或欲望，而其他故事则解决了男性的性焦虑。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
