摘要

本文通过对最近对美国被处决者遗言的分析，批判了流行的废奴主义者用罪恶和救赎的证据来解释遗言的修辞。在以这种方式解读处决事件时，文章认为，这些文本无意中庆祝和肯定了处决行为。根据Gil Anidjar的《血》(2014)，这篇文章认为这种二元性与现代基督教的历史是一致的，体现在两个事件的结合上:圣餐和宗教裁判所。

Last Words of the Condemned: Christian-Humanist Rhetoric in the American Abolition Debate

Through the interrogation of recent analyses of the last words of people executed in the USA, this article critiques the popular abolitionist rhetoric that interprets last words in terms of evidence of sin and redemption. In reading the execution event in this way, the article suggests, these texts inadvertently celebrate and affirm the act of execution. Drawing on Gil Anidjar’s Blood (2014), the article suggests that this duality is in consonance with the history of modern Christianity as epitomised in the bonding of two events: the Eucharist and the Inquisition.
