摘要:One of the more recent trends in Cervantes scholarship has
been the exploration of the relationship between Cervantes’s
works, particularly Don Quixote, and those of contemporary
culture. These explorations often follow a number of interrelated paths.
The most common of these approaches are those that apply contemporary
literary and cultural theory to Cervantes’s works.1 Another common
approach explores the structural impact of Cervantine narrativity (and
meta-narrativity) on later works.2 Still others trace the conceptual intertextualities
that exist between Cervantes and various later writers.3 Finally,
a more expansive approach explores those instances where contemporary
culture—whether deliberately or not, whether self-consciously or not—
rediscovers, reexamines, and/or reworks ideas and issues explored by
Cervantes and his own contemporaries more than 400 years ago.4 David
Lynch’s 2001 film Mulholland Drive is a cinematic narrative that lends
itself extremely well to this last type of Cervantine analysis (and not just
because this film—like Don Quixote, which is routinely said to be a literary
work about literature—has been called a film about cinema [Lopate
47; Restuccia 71; and Shostak 6]).
