摘要

本文借鉴了法国侦探批评的最新创新,拓宽了为爱伦·坡笔下著名的猩猩开脱的范围,并认为现代英美犯罪小说的Urtext既是对语言主导地位(在这种情况下是英语)的拒绝,也是对现代语言的辩护。这种对语言多样性的促进与坡的侦查叙事故意的非自我巧合密切相关,这种叙事回忆并先发制人,“谁在扼杀谁?”?解构主义批评的悖论。尽管《莫格街谋杀案》很有先见之明,为后代开创了现代犯罪小说,但它与19世纪的雕塑传统交织在一起,不仅塑造了人与动物搏斗的姿势,还颠覆了经典场景,从而质疑野蛮与文明的二元对立,赋予动物杀死人类的力量,同时也将它们视为人类暴力的受害者。

Primates in Paris and Edgar Allan Poe’s Paradoxical Commitment to Foreign Languages
Drawing on recent innovations in detective criticism in France, this article broadens the quest to exonerate Poe’s famous orang-utan and argues that the Urtext of modern Anglo-American crime fiction is simultaneously a rejection of linguistic dominance (of English in this case) and an apologia for modern languages. This promotion of linguistic diversity goes hand in hand with the wilful non-self-coincidence of Poe’s detection narrative, which recalls, and pre-empts, the who’s-strangling-whom? paradox of deconstructionist criticism. Although “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” is prescient, founding modern crime fiction for future generations, it is entwined with a nineteenth-century tradition of sculpture that not only poses men fighting with animals but also inverts classical scenarios, thereby questioning the binary of savagery versus civilization and investing animals with the strength to kill humans while also positing them as the victims of human violence.
