Abstract:

Dark Tourism is a term associated with pilgrimages to places associated with the famous dead. "Dark Poetry" attempts to imagine, explore, or reanimate a dark event. Using Charles Reznikoff's Holocaust poetry and Mariko Nagai's collection, Irradiated Cities (2017) as examples, we discuss dark poetry's use of an anti-elegiac mode, which focuses on historical particularities in refashioning and problematizing dark events while employing numerous gaps and fragmentations. This poetry, often written by second-generation and non-survivor poets, approaches notions of the ineffable while providing an important bridge between incomprehensible events and the human imagination, and challenging language's capacity to comprehend the "unspeakable."

摘要：

黑暗旅游是一个与前往与著名死者有关的地方朝圣的术语。 “黑暗诗”试图想象、探索或复活一个黑暗事件。以查尔斯·雷兹尼科夫（Charles Reznikoff）的大屠杀诗歌和永井真理子（Mariko Nagai）的诗集《受辐射的城市》（2017）为例，我们讨论了黑暗诗歌对反挽歌模式的使用，该模式侧重于重塑和问题化黑暗事件的历史特殊性，同时使用大量的间隙和碎片。这些诗歌通常由第二代和非幸存者诗人创作，探讨了不可言喻的概念，同时在不可理解的事件和人类想象力之间架起了一座重要的桥梁，并挑战了语言理解“不可言喻”的能力。
