摘要

批评家们倾向于通过理性主义的镜头来解读《周六》，或者是理性主义的失败。这篇文章暗示，也许与直觉相反，它可以被解读为在一个没有魔法的世界里对神学渴望的寓言。这并不是要诋毁麦克尤恩对理性的承诺，而是要证明，根深蒂固的宗教冲动适应了世俗物质性的要求，而不是放弃形而上学，而是使形而上学世俗化。

Surprised by Sin: Medical Metaphors and Secular Eschatology in Ian McEwan’s Saturday

Abstract Critics have tended to read Saturday through the lens of rationalism, or its failings thereof. This article suggests, perhaps counter-intuitively, that it may be read as an allegory of theological yearning in a world bereft of magic. It is not to cast aspersions on McEwan’s commitment to reason, but to make a case that deep-rooted religious impulses adapt to the dictums of secular materiality and that, instead of abandoning metaphysics, Saturday secularizes it.

期刊介绍： Concentrating on works that are frequently anthologized and studied in college classrooms, The Explicator, with its yearly index of titles, is a must for college and university libraries and teachers of literature. Text-based criticism thrives in The Explicator. One of few in its class, the journal publishes concise notes on passages of prose and poetry. Each issue contains between 25 and 30 notes on works of literature, ranging from ancient Greek and Roman times to our own, from throughout the world. Students rely on The Explicator for insight into works they are studying.
