ABSTRACT

In this article, I read and analyse the novel Satantango (1985) by the Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai’s. Set in a small community in rural Eastern Hungary – before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet regime – where the rain is falling incessantly, all hope has been lost, history has ended before it even began, and the houses are crumbling from the inside out, the novel is, for obvious reasons, often considered to have a tone of brutal and bleak pessimism. Robert Boyers thus talks about Krasznahorkai’s ‘pessimistic virtuosity’ and literary realism, the sole purpose of which is disillusion. In this article, however, I would like to contest this claim and look for some paradoxical glimpses of hope hidden in the anatomy of hopelessness that the author undoubtedly makes manifest trough a radical materialism; a hope against hope. I argue that Krasznahorkai destroys necessity with necessity. To that end I will bring in the work of Ernst Bloch as well as Jacques Ranciére’s book on filmmaker Bela Tarr who has adapted several of Krasznahorkai’s novels for the screen.

以必要性摧毁必要性——László Krasznahorkai 的《撒旦探戈》

摘要

在这篇文章中,我阅读并分析了小说《撒旦探戈》(1985) 由匈牙利作家 László Krasznahorkai 着。故事发生在匈牙利东部农村的一个小社区 - 在柏林墙倒塌和苏维埃政权结束之前 - 雨不停地下,所有希望都消失了,历史甚至在开始之前就已经结束,房屋由于显而易见的原因,这部小说从内而外崩塌,通常被认为有一种残酷和悲观的悲观主义基调。因此,罗伯特·博耶斯谈到了克拉斯纳霍凯的“悲观技艺”和文学现实主义,其唯一目的是幻灭。然而,在这篇文章中,我想反驳这种说法,并寻找隐藏在绝望解剖中的一些自相矛盾的希望的一瞥,作者无疑通过激进的唯物主义表现出来。对希望的希望。我认为 Krasznahorkai 用必然性来摧毁必然性。为此,我将带来 Ernst Bloch 的作品以及 Jacques Ranciére 关于电影制片人 Bela Tarr 的书,该电影制片人将 Krasznahorkai 的几部小说改编成银幕。
