Abstract

Abstract Arguably Cristi Puiu’s most intricate film so far, Malmkrog (2020) comprises nearly three and a half hours of intense discussions about some of the most pertinent questions of our times since the Industrial Revolution – about the ethics of war and progress, the inevitable end of history, and the elusive nature of Good and Evil – posited by the Russian religious philosopher Vladimir S. Solovyov in his seminal book War, Progress, and the End of History (subtitled Three Conversations Including a Short Story of the Anti-Christ) and published in 1899. The article looks at the screen rendition of Solovyov’s three dominant discourses – statist-militarist, bourgeois-liberal, and religious-philosophical – through the grid of katechon (or “that which restrains”) in its Biblical, and above all, in its political philosophic meaning (following Carl Schmitt, Georgio Agamben and Sergei Prozorov). Furthermore, by introducing the concept of intermedial katechon, the article argues that while Puiu’s audio-visual rendition remains congenially faithful to the original, it transcends its allusions to the tragic 20th century, and illuminates our murky times of ubiquitous (bio-)political, social, intellectual, and above all ethical angst.
《时间尽头的电影:马尔姆克罗格》,克里斯蒂·普尤和弗拉基米尔·索洛维约夫著
《马尔姆克罗格》(2020)可以说是克里斯蒂·普乌迄今为止最复杂的电影,它包含了近三个半小时的激烈讨论,讨论了自工业革命以来我们这个时代的一些最相关的问题——关于战争与进步的伦理、历史不可避免的终结以及善恶难以捉摸的本质——俄罗斯宗教哲学家弗拉基米尔·s·索洛维约夫在他的影响深远的著作《战争,进步》中提出的问题。以及《历史的终结》(副标题为《三次对话,包括一个反基督的短篇故事》),出版于1899年。这篇文章着眼于索洛维约夫的三种主要话语——国家主义-军国主义,资产阶级-自由主义和宗教-哲学——通过katechon(或“限制”)在圣经中的网格,尤其是在其政治哲学意义上的屏幕呈现(继卡尔·施密特,乔治·阿甘本和谢尔盖·普罗佐罗夫之后)。此外,通过引入中间katechon的概念,文章认为,虽然Puiu的视听演绎保持了对原著的忠实,但它超越了对20世纪悲剧的典故,并照亮了我们这个无处不在的(生物)政治,社会,知识分子,尤其是伦理焦虑的黑暗时代。
