摘要

从宗教文学和图像学的角度出发，本文考察了环绕和圆形意象在古埃及的使用——仪式上的环绕、圆形的结和珠宝、彩绘的纸莎草纸、环绕的话语，尤其是在拜占庭、阿拉伯、犹太和早期现代欧洲思想中预示着毒蛇的祈求神的蛇形人物Mehen。包围和圆形意象在古埃及语境中具有表演性，在个人、心理层面和共同的社会层面上发挥作用。表演圈对于古埃及的仪式实践者和观众来说是一种内在的仪式或自我转化的想象技术。

Performing Circles in Ancient Egypt From Mehen to Ouroboros

abstract:Drawing from cultic literature and iconography, this article examines the use of encirclement and circular imagery in ancient Egypt—ritual circumambulation, circular knots and jewelry, painted papyri, encircling utterances, and especially the apotropaic serpentine figure Mehen, who prefigured the ouroboros in Byzantine, Arabic, Jewish, and early modern European thought. Encirclement and circular imagery were performative in the ancient Egyptian context, functioning on a personal, psychological level as much as a shared, social level. Performing circles was an inner ritual or imaginative technology of self-transformation for the ancient Egyptian ritual practitioner and audience alike.

期刊介绍： Preternature provides an interdisciplinary, inclusive forum for the study of topics that stand in the liminal space between the known world and the inexplicable. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural that encompasses the weird and uncanny—magic, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, esotericism, demonology, monstrophy, and more, recognizing that the areas of magic, religion, and science are fluid and that their intersections should continue to be explored, contextualized, and challenged.
