Abstract:This article elaborates a close reading of Leyb Goldin’s “Chronicle of a Single Day” (Khronik fun a mes-les), an experimental and densely intertextual autobiographical text written in the Warsaw ghetto in August 1941 and preserved in Emanuel Ringelblum’s Oyneg Shabes archive. Goldin’s text self-consciously sifts the resources of European literature—and above all of modernist prose—in search of models for interpreting and articulating the extreme experience of the ghetto. By using the resources of Jewish and European literature as a lens through which to interpret the related experiences of human consciousness at its breaking point precipitated by starvation and of radical exclusion from the cosmopolitan cultural community that many eastern European Jews had embraced, Goldin’s text highlights the importance of attending to the literary dimension of Holocaust literature rather than approaching it merely as empirical documentation. This reading of Goldin aims to underscore the historical importance of Holocaust literature as literature, that is, how literary reading can afford a fuller and more complex appreciation of the ways Holocaust victims interpreted and lent meanings to their experiences.

用华沙隔都的现代主义钥匙写饥饿：莱布·戈尔丁的“一天编年史”

摘要：本文详细介绍了莱布·戈尔丁 (Leyb Goldin) 的“单日编年史” (Khronik fun a mes-les)，这是一部实验性的、密集互文的自传体文本，于 1941 年 8 月在华沙隔都写成，保存在伊曼纽尔·林格尔布鲁姆的 Oyneg Shabes 档案中. 戈尔丁的文本自觉地筛选欧洲文学的资源——尤其是现代主义散文——以寻找解释和阐明贫民窟极端经历的模型。通过使用犹太和欧洲文学资源作为镜头来解释人类意识在饥饿和被许多东欧犹太人所接受的世界性文化社区的激进排斥所引发的崩溃点的相关经历，戈尔丁的文字强调了关注大屠杀文学的文学维度的重要性，而不是仅仅将其作为经验文献来处理。戈尔丁的这种阅读旨在强调大屠杀文学作为文学的历史重要性，也就是说，文学阅读如何能够更全面、更复杂地欣赏大屠杀受害者对他们的经历进行解释和赋予意义的方式。
