摘要

本文主要探討歌德晚期的作品《西東詩集》。論述基礎並不以薩依德的「東方主義」為主的後殖民主義，而是從歌德晚年對文學書寫的創新為討論的出發點。主要觀點為：歌德將中東地區的文化納入其寫作中，其動機並非來自東西方現實世界的權力關係的影響，而是純粹對兩種文化在文藝美學上的興趣。另外本文也將論證《西東詩集》裡的中東文化元素並不只是隱含文化界限的跨越，同時也內涵著詩學理論的思考。此詩學理論雖源自於歌德的「象徵」概念，但從表現手法的角度而言，此詩學理論卻趨同於「寓意」。

並列摘要

This paper aims to provide a reading of West-East Divan by Goethe that is not based on the postcolonial concept as Edward Said in his book Orientalism discussed. The point of departure for the discussions is that Goethe's intention to include the oriental cultural in his literary writing is motivated by the literary-aesthetic interest in the artworks in both the East and West. Further the paper will argue that the oriental elements in West-east Divan are not only an implication of crossing the cultural boundary. Moreover, they entail a poetic concept that can be regarded as being closely related with allegory though it is originated in Goethe's concept of symbol.
