本論文從巴代耶（Georges Bataille）所揭櫫情色的踰越特性切入，探析素有「現代情色文學之父」之稱的十六世紀義大利作家阿雷提諾（Pietro Aretino）的情色代表作《淫穢短詩》（Sonetti lussuriosi, 1524/25）與《對話錄》（Ragionamento, 1534/36）中的多重踰越面向。「作家像妓女一樣待價而沽」的現實壓力與體會，創就了阿雷提諾作品中強烈的市場取向。為了吸引廣大的讀者群，「妓女與性」自然而然地成為其情色作品的賣點，更是他用以反抗加諸於寫作與肉體諸般限制的利器。在他結合色情與諷刺的妓女書寫（porno-graphies）中，長期箝制身體與寫作自由的天主教會，很明顯地成為其嘲諷批判的主要目標。而擺脫了先前層層枷鎖的《淫穢短詩》與《對話錄》，也就成了教會當局的眼中釘，必除之而後快。

This article analyzes, from the perspective of Georges Bataille’s notion of transgression, the transgessive nature of Pietro Aretino’s two celebrated erotic works: Sonetti lussuriosi (1524/25) and Ragionamento (1534/36). As the “Father of Modern Pornography,” Aretino is the first professional/erotic writer catering to the market and to the taste of the general public. Writing erotica for the general public itself is already a transgressive gesture which defies the taboos of Catholic Church. Furthermore, in his writings of prostitutes (porno-graphies), Aretino uses prostitutes, who, as the social critique par excellence, share the same fate as writers, as a vehicle for his anti-clericalism as well as a social critique of Renaissance Italy.
