摘要

《德·维肖林》中俄克拉何马州的自然剧场是卡夫卡最神秘的发明之一,因瓦尔特·本雅明和乔治·阿甘本将其解读为手势剧场而广为人知。本文探讨了卡夫卡小说的互文档案,引入了一个迄今为止被忽视的入口:20世纪初由保守的Heimatkunstbewegung推动的自然戏剧运动。本文一方面讨论了戏剧的历史本质,另一方面讨论了本雅明和阿甘本的戏剧姿态,考察了小说中出现的生活概念(生活作为事业,生活作为戏剧,生活作为姿态),并从这个角度考虑了主人公的命运。本文将包容/排斥问题视为卡夫卡小说的关键,认为它揭示了乌托邦和反乌托邦之间的细微界限,让我们反思现代性的危险和可能性。

At the Door of the Theater: Kafka’s Oklahama Theater and the Nature Theater Movement
The Nature theater of Oklahama in Der Verschollene is one of Kafka’s most enigmatic inventions, widely known through Walter Benjamin’s and Giorgio Agamben’s reading of it as a theater of gestures. This article explores the intertextual archive of Kafka’s novel, bringing into play an entry hitherto overlooked: the nature theater movement in the early twentieth century, promoted by the conservative Heimatkunstbewegung. Discussing the historical nature theater, on the one hand, and Benjamin’s and Agamben’s theater of gestures, on the other, the article examines the conceptions of life that come into play in the novel (life as career, life as theater, life as gesture) and considers the fate of the protagonist in this light. Seeing the question of inclusion/exclusion as key to Kafka’s novel, the article argues that it exposes the thin line between utopia and dystopia and allows us to reflect on the dangers as well as the possibilities of modernity.
