摘要

在现代早期的西班牙，蜜蜂因其典型的性生活而备受钦佩，因为它们所谓的无性繁殖使它们成为蜂巢中贞洁的典范，蜂巢是一个由王蜂领导的理想化的男性社区。然而，蜜蜂意象经常出现在情色文学和数量惊人的关于卖淫的西班牙文本中，包括两部最具标志性的作品，La Celestina（1499年）和La Lozana andaluza（1528年），它们将养蜂比喻应用于女性老奸妇。本文探讨了这种看似矛盾的现象，认为用于卖淫的养蜂隐喻使妓女失去了人性，成为兽性传统中的模范野兽。

Eros in the Apiary: Bees and Beehives in Early Modern Spanish Erotic Literature

In early modern Spain, bees inspired admiration for their exemplary sexual life since their supposedly asexual spontaneous generation made them models of chastity within the hive, an idealized masculine commune led by a king bee. However, bee imagery frequently appears in erotic literature and an astonishing number of Spanish texts on prostitution, including two of the most iconic, La Celestina (1499) and La Lozana andaluza (1528), which apply apiary metaphors to a female procuress. This article examines this seeming contradiction to argue that apiary metaphors applied to prostitution dehumanize the prostitute as an exemplary beast in the bestiary tradition.
