Abstract

ABSTRACT:The prologue to Dante's Inferno presents a noticeable tension between ambiguous earthly history and its transcendent implications. Memory plays an important role in mediating between these dimensions and is a principal feature of Dante's allegory in the prologue, anticipating the poet's approach later in the Commedia. I propose that in the prologue Dante is engaged in a process of memorialization that shares a lot in common with the sacraments of the Mass and especially with the Eucharist: this has important implications for Dante's allegory, as well as for his language of memory, which departs in significant ways from the classical models that he inherited, reimagining memory as an active and creative principle.
回忆历史:《地狱》序曲中作为圣礼的寓言
摘要:但丁的《地狱篇》的序言在模糊的世俗历史和它的超然含义之间呈现出一种明显的张力。记忆在这些维度之间起着重要的调解作用,是但丁在序言中寓言的主要特征,预示着诗人在喜剧中的做法。我认为在序言中但丁参与了一个纪念的过程这与弥撒的圣礼,尤其是圣餐有很多共同之处这对但丁的寓言有着重要的意义,对他的记忆语言也有重要的意义,这与他继承的经典模式有很大的不同,他把记忆重新想象成一个积极的,创造性的原则。
