摘要
在波斯晚期和希腊化早期,犹大文士关于以东的印象和记忆并非完全负面。但他们对某些经文的阅读和重读,导致了人们对以东人的负面印象,使之成为耶和华与以色列的敌对方,这种敌意超过了以色列人对周边地区其他政治实体或族群的敌视与仇恨。此外,虽然耶路撒冷陷落,随后族人流散;但在文士的记忆框架内,以东并未被看作导致流散的主要推手。有时,人们甚至根本不记得以东参与过那些事件。本文论述了那些文士中关于以东那个亲密"他者"繁复社会记忆产生的可能原因,以及文士们把以东所代表的信息和形象作为建构意识形态话语的密码。
Edom was not viewed and remembered only in negative terms within the world of knowledge and memory of the literati of Late Persian/early Hellenistic Judah.But some of the texts they read and reread led to memories in which Edom was indeed singled out for YHWH and Israel’s enmity in ways that go beyond those for other political entities or ethnic groups in the surrounding area.Moreover,although Edom was indeed at times remembered in the context of the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile,within the larger frame of the memoryscape of the literati,it was not thought of as the central,human agent that caused the exile,and at times its supposed participation in these events not recalled at all.This article addresses the possible reasons for the particularly complex,comprehensive social memory about Edom,the ultimate proximate Other,that existed among these literati and the messages and images that Edom evoked among them,as well as those they could formulate by using(their)Edom as a cypher within their ideological discourses.
