Abstract

Abstract:This essay explores the commemorative stance of Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern's opera The Anointed (1951) toward the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and situates the work within an early and volatile period of cultural responses to the Holocaust in Poland and the United States. Through a close examination of the opera's literary sources and musical setting, as well as the archival materials related to its creation, the essay shows how the opera treats Polish Romantic messianism as a symbolic language with which to grapple with Jewish resistance to the Holocaust, even as similar messianic tropes were being used to consolidate Polish ethnonationalist memory of World War II.

重新塑造的弥赛亚主义:Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern的华沙犹太人起义音乐纪念碑

摘要:本文探讨了塔德乌什·齐格弗里德·卡森(Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern)的歌剧《受膏者》(1951)对华沙犹太区起义的纪念立场，并将这部作品置于波兰和美国对大屠杀的早期和动荡的文化反应时期。通过对歌剧的文学来源和音乐背景以及与其创作相关的档案材料的仔细研究，本文展示了歌剧如何将波兰浪漫主义的弥赛亚主义作为一种象征性的语言，与犹太人对大屠杀的抵抗作斗争，即使类似的弥赛亚比喻被用来巩固波兰对第二次世界大战的民族主义记忆。
