Abstract:In many fin de siècle medical and literary texts, Christianity is understood not as a religion of the soul but as a cultural background which favors the production of discourses on the body and its pleasures. A reading of Christian allusions in C.P. Cavafy’s writings in this intertextual context sheds new light on the role of religion in his work by uncovering a strong connection between Christianity and modes of enjoyment. This is true especially in poems that bear the traces of the transition from the Greco-Roman world to that of Christianity. The enjoyment sustaining the Christian dialectic between fleshly obsession and guilt can be traced back to the patristic texts on which Cavafy relied for poetic material. But the strong affects (disgust, fear, terror) that are associated with and even generated by Christianity in a number of his texts (“Salome,” “Julian at the Mysteries,” “Terror,” “Myris”) suggest that Cavafy places Christian enjoyment in a critical perspective. The same affects mark the intersection between Christianity and sexuality in the work of Arthur Rimbaud, who—despite his very different ironic poetics—offers a parallel to Cavafy’s rewriting of the body through rather than in spite of the Christian legacy.

世纪末快乐话语语境下的 CP Cavafy 的基督教：重塑爱情的沧桑

摘要：在许多世纪末医学和文学文本中，基督教不被理解为一种灵魂宗教，而是一种文化背景，有利于产生关于身体及其快乐的话语。在这种互文的语境中阅读 CP Cavafy 著作中的基督教典故，揭示了基督教与享乐方式之间的密切联系，从而对宗教在其作品中的作用有了新的了解。尤其是在那些带有从希腊罗马世界过渡到基督教世界痕迹的诗歌中尤其如此。维持肉体迷恋和内疚之间的基督教辩证法的享受可以追溯到卡瓦菲赖以获取诗歌材料的教父文本。但强烈的影响（厌恶、恐惧、恐怖）在他的一些文本（“莎乐美”、“神秘中的朱利安”、“恐怖”、“米里斯”）中与基督教有关，甚至由基督教产生，这表明卡瓦菲将基督徒的享受置于批判的角度。同样的影响标志着亚瑟·兰波（Arthur Rimbaud）的作品中基督教与性之间的交叉点，尽管他的讽刺诗意非常不同，但他提供了与卡瓦菲（Cavafy）通过而不是不顾基督教遗产重写身体的相似之处。
