This article proposes a viable reading of Song of Songs as historicized allegory and political satire. In this view, the Song co-opts royal imagery from Solomon’s past golden age to elevate the consummate value of an ordinary ‘country’ couple’s exuberant, mutual love as a model for flourishing, postexilic life. Put another way, this love ‘anthem’ extols ‘emotional refuge’ from exploitative monarchical rule, domestic or foreign. The argument is grounded in close analysis of Song 1-3 and 8.11-12 interlaced with biblical legal, historical, and prophetic critiques of Solomonic pride and greed, and informed by theoretical frameworks on politics, music, and emotion.

作为政治讽刺和情感避难所的雅歌:颠覆所罗门的镀金政权

本文建议将《雅歌》作为历史化的寓言和政治讽刺作品进行可行的解读。在这种观点下,宋文借鉴了所罗门过去黄金时代的王室意象,提升了一对普通“乡村”夫妇旺盛的互爱作为繁荣的流亡生活典范的完美价值。换句话说,这首爱情“国歌”颂扬了对国内或国外剥削性君主统治的“情感庇护”。该论点以对宋 1-3 和 8.11-12 的仔细分析为基础,并结合对所罗门的骄傲和贪婪的圣经法律、历史和预言性批评,并以政治、音乐和情感的理论框架为依据。
