ABSTRACT This article explores the intertextual links between The Buribunks and two of Schmitt’s early texts, Dictatorship and Political Romanticism, to instance his satiric method and critique of diary-writing’s romantic and historical philosophy. First, key aspects of the substance of The Buribunks (1918) within the satiric form are briefly situated. Second, The Buribunks’s links with Tacitus and Juvenal, both referenced in Dictatorship (1921), are explored. Schmitt’s satire can be enriched by understanding how Tacitus’s irony casts doubt on the historical narrator’s reliability, and how Juvenal’s satire traverses the plight of intellectuals and historians. Third, The Buribunks’s links with Schmitt’s polemics in Political Romanticism (1919) are considered – Schmitt’s treatment of diary-writing partially illustrates his concerns with political romanticism’s passivity and sterility, and enlivens his rejection of romanticism. Fourth, this intertextuality is examined in light of The Buribunks’s admonitory implications of these dystopian images. Ultimately, the satiric impulse in this speculative text is not too distant from the polemical force in Schmitt’s non-speculative political and conceptual texts. What may differ is the interpretation of The Buribunks’s ‘admonitory function’ – that is, the message to be gleaned from this future fantasy world’s ‘rising terror in the medium of writing’.

施密特在 The Buribunks 中的讽刺:日记写作反乌托邦中的互文链接

摘要 本文探讨了《布里班克家族》与施密特两部早期著作《独裁统治》和《政治浪漫主义》之间的互文联系,以举例说明他对日记写作浪漫主义和历史哲学的讽刺方法和批判。首先,简要介绍讽刺形式中 The Buribunks (1918) 的主要内容。其次,探索了布里班克家族与塔西佗和尤维纳尔的联系,这两者都在独裁统治 (1921) 中有所提及。施密特的讽刺可以通过理解塔西佗的讽刺如何使历史叙述者的可靠性产生怀疑,以及尤维纳尔的讽刺如何穿越知识分子和历史学家的困境来丰富。第三,布里班克家族与施密特在政治浪漫主义 (1919) 中的论战的联系被认为是——施密特对日记写作的处理部分说明了他对政治浪漫主义的被动和无能的担忧,并激发了他对浪漫主义的拒绝。第四,根据 The Buribunks 对这些反乌托邦图像的告诫含义来检验这种互文性。归根结底,这个思辨性文本中的讽刺冲动与施密特非思辨性政治和概念文本中的论战力量并没有太远。不同之处在于对 The Buribunks 的“警告功能”的解释——也就是说,从这个未来幻想世界的“写作媒介中不断上升的恐怖”中收集到的信息。根据 The Buribunks 对这些反乌托邦图像的告诫含义,对这种互文性进行了检查。归根结底,这个思辨性文本中的讽刺冲动与施密特非思辨性政治和概念文本中的论战力量并没有太远。不同之处在于对 The Buribunks 的“警告功能”的解释——也就是说,从这个未来幻想世界的“写作媒介中不断上升的恐怖”中收集到的信息。根据 The Buribunks 对这些反乌托邦图像的告诫含义,对这种互文性进行了检查。归根结底,这个思辨性文本中的讽刺冲动与施密特非思辨性政治和概念文本中的论战力量并没有太远。不同之处在于对 The Buribunks 的“警告功能”的解释——也就是说,从这个未来幻想世界的“写作媒介中不断上升的恐怖”中收集到的信息。
