Representations of smell can serve as vehicles for value judgments about social status and cultural performance. Since smell crosses boundaries, the same representations can also expose the arbitrariness of standards of behavior. This essay focuses on examples from Catullus: mainly poems 13 and 97, which include his only uses of olfacere, and 69 and 71, which share an image of animal odor and are linked to 97 by a theme of smell crossing boundaries between human and animal and between city and country; discussion of poem 6 introduces the study. In the context of more decorous representations offered by Cicero, these examples emphasize Catullus’ delight in transgressions as leading to sociocultural critique.

卡图卢斯的气味和社会文化价值判断

气味的表征可以作为对社会地位和文化表现进行价值判断的工具。由于气味跨越国界，同样的表述也可以暴露行为标准的任意性。本文重点介绍卡图卢斯的例子：主要是诗 13 和 97，其中包括他唯一使用的 olfacere，以及 69 和 71，它们共享动物气味的图像，并通过气味跨越人与动物界限的主题与 97 联系起来以及城市和乡村之间；讨论诗 6 介绍学习。在西塞罗提供的更优雅的表现的背景下，这些例子强调了卡图卢斯对导致社会文化批判的违法行为的喜悦。
