Abstract

Abstract:This article argues that Lord Byron's Don Juan repeatedly references digestion-and failures of digestion-to register the visceral effects of almost twenty years of near-continuous global warfare on bodies and especially stomachs. If epic is traditionally understood as a poetic form that aggrandizes and gives coherence to the brutality of war, Don Juan reworks epic as a way of rendering the experience of war poetically undigestible. In doing so, the poem develops a non-reparative poetics of indigestion that represents the violence and trauma of war without attempting to celebrate war or make it easily consumable.
拜伦的《消化不良诗学
摘要:本文认为拜伦勋爵的《唐璜》反复引用消化和消化失败来记录近二十年来几乎持续不断的全球战争对身体,尤其是胃的内脏影响。如果史诗传统上被理解为一种诗歌形式,它夸大了战争的残酷,并赋予了连贯性,那么唐璜将史诗改编为一种使战争经历变得诗意而难以消化的方式。在这样做的过程中,这首诗发展了一种非修复性的消化不良诗学,它代表了战争的暴力和创伤,而不是试图庆祝战争或使战争易于消费。
