为什么在荷兰早期的戏剧和视觉文化中，强奸是战争的一个如此流行的比喻？为了解决这个问题，这篇文章考虑了强奸的一系列戏剧和视觉表现。当作为国家的象征时，女性的身体经常被用来代表财富的积累或有害的入侵等抽象的过程。这些看似对立的过程在17世纪末的一部荷兰寓言剧中交织在一起，该剧不仅将强奸作为战争的隐喻，还延伸了这一隐喻，提出了关于国家完整性和财富积累的有害影响的问题。
Why was rape such a popular metaphor for war in early modern Dutch theatrical and visual culture? To address this question, this article considers a range of theatrical and visual representations of rape. When serving as a representation of state, the female body was often used to represent abstract processes such as the accumulation of wealth or inimical intrusion. These seemingly opposing processes are conjoined in a late seventeenth‐century Dutch allegorical play that not only features rape as a metaphor for war but also extends this metaphor to raise questions about national integrity and the deleterious effects of wealth accumulation.
