This article explores the depiction of wounded soldiers in Samuel Beckett’s novel Mercier and Camier (written in French in 1946, published in 1970, and translated and published in English in 1974). This aspect of the novel is discussed from two perspectives: the Irish military history which Beckett repeatedly invokes in the novel, notably the Boer War and World War I; and the relation between the novel and the ‘war books’ which followed World War I, many of which express pacifist ideals by laying bare the suffering which combatant bodies experience. Drawing attention to the hitherto neglected context of war writing for the image of the wounded soldier in Beckett’s work, this article uses Mercier and Camier to consider the political implications of the author’s allusions to military history following World War II.

“在佛兰德斯泥中爬行”:塞缪尔·贝克特(Samuel Beckett),战争写作和污秽主义和平主义

本文探讨了塞缪尔·贝克特(Samuel Beckett)的小说《 Mercier and Camier》(1946年以法语编写,1970年出版,以及1974年以英文翻译和出版)中受伤士兵的描绘。从两个角度讨论了小说的这一方面:贝克特反复引用小说中的爱尔兰军事历史,特别是布尔战争和第一次世界大战;小说与第一次世界大战后的“战争书籍”之间的关系,其中许多小说通过揭露战斗人员身体所遭受的苦难来表达和平主义者的理想。这篇文章引起了贝克特工作中受伤士兵的印象,而迄今为止人们对战争写作的关注却被人们忽略了,本文利用梅西耶和卡米尔(Camier)来考虑作者的寓言对第二次世界大战后军事历史的政治影响。
