摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 1588年英格兰与西班牙海战前夕上演的《帖木儿大帝》实乃影射时政至关重要的智力武器,而非鞑靼帝王的华丽舞台或奥特柳斯式的纯地理学愉悦。为此马洛非常隐秘地借用了西方源远流长的雌雄同体观念,在帖木儿大帝和伊丽莎白一世之间建立起身份发生学的概念内涵,同时通过特殊的地图空间隐喻投射日益增长的英格兰殖民梦想。研究发现,本土化的强力君王形象塑造极大消解了英格兰观众潜藏于心的临战焦虑情绪,世界图示的戏剧公演则满足了他们的胜利渴求心理和海外殖民想象,两者共同构建了文艺复兴地理大发现时代英格兰权力失语的文化补偿策略。

Abstract: Tamburlaine the Great, performed right on the eve of the sea battle between England and Spain in 1588, was a vital intellectual weapon alluding to contemporary politics, rather than a glamerous stage show of the Tatar emperor or a purely Ortelius geographical entertainment. To this end, Marlowe reconditely borrowed the long-standing Western idea of androgyny to construct a conceptual meaning of identity genetics between Tamburlaine and Elizabeth I, while projecting the ever-increasing colonial dream of England with special cartographical metaphors. Studies show that the portrayal of a strong local monarch greatly dispelled the latent war anxiety of the English audience, whereas the public performance of a play of world graphics satisfied their desire for victory and their imagination of overseas colonialization as well. These two factors established a strategy of seeking cultural compensation for the voiceless England in the Age of Discovery.

Key words: Tamburlaine the Great, androgyny, monarch analogy, world map, power construction
