摘要

摘要:本文结合托马斯·曼早期的小说创作和战时新闻报道，对其关于爱犬的自传体散文进行了研究。Herr und Hund不仅代表了从混乱时期的田园诗般的撤退，而且还持续参与了曼恩创造性散文和文化政治的核心主题，包括人类理性与动物激情之间的区别，人类之间所谓的种族差异，以及自然与文明之间的关系。在曼恩多方面的文章中，目前被划分为动物、环境和关键种族研究等不同类别的问题相互联系。《人和人》标志着曼恩在战争期间的思考的结束，以及通过其他方式的延续，重新审视了激发他早期散文的主题，并将继续影响他未来几年的政治思想和创作实践。

Of Mutts and Mann: The Mischling Theme in Herr und Hund

Abstract:This article focuses on Thomas Mann’s autobiographical essay about his dog in the light of his early fiction and wartime journalism. Herr und Hund represents not only an idyllic retreat from troubled times but also an ongoing engagement with themes central to Mann’s creative prose and cultural politics, including distinctions between human reason and animal passions, alleged racial differences among humans, and relations between nature and civilization. Issues currently cordoned off into the discrete categories of animal, environmental, and critical race studies inform one another in Mann’s multi-faceted essay. Herr und Hund marks both an end to the reflections that preoccupied Mann during the war and their continuation by other means, revisiting themes that inspire his earliest prose and will continue to inform his political thought and creative practice for years to come.
