Abstract

The medieval Antichrist plays are considered as politically disinterested. But this opinion is a result of an ahistorical retrospective, which classifies the medieval plays against the backdrop of the reformatory Antichrist plays, where the political dimension is blatantly obvious with the identification of the pope with the Antichrist. Indeed, the medieval Antichrist plays eschew this bold and simple way of articulating a political opinion - but they are not at all politically neutral. The German Antichrist plays, in particular, focus on the relationship between Antichrist, emperor and empire. They follow the ambivalent picture of the empire which is drawn by the apocalyptic books and passages of the Bible and show us a differentiated political awareness rather than the bold antipapal statements of the reformatory Antichrist plays.

德国皇室、帝国和反基督者的政治发展

中世纪的反基督戏剧被认为与政治无关。但这种观点是一种非历史回顾的结果，这种回顾将中世纪戏剧与改革派反基督戏剧的背景进行了分类，其中的政治维度明显地将教皇与反基督者相提并论。事实上，中世纪的反基督者避开了这种大胆而简单的表达政治观点的方式——但他们在政治上一点也不中立。德意志的反基督剧尤其关注反基督、皇帝和帝国之间的关系。它们遵循了由启示录和圣经段落所描绘的帝国的矛盾图景，向我们展示了一种不同的政治意识，而不是改革派反基督戏剧中大胆的反教皇言论。

期刊介绍： European Medieval Drama (EMD) is an annual journal published by Brepols. It was launched in 1997 in association with the International Conferences on Medieval European Drama organised at the University of Camerino, Italy, by Sydney Higgins between 1996 and 1999. The first four volumes of European Medieval Drama (1997-2000) published the Acts of these conferences. This series of conferences was suspended for the foreseeable future in 1999. At the Tenth Triennial Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l"étude du Théâtre Médiéval (SITM), held in Groningen, the Netherlands, in August 2001, it was proposed that EMD should be published in association with SITM. This proposal has now been approved by all interested parties, and comes into effect as of spring 2002.
