石黑一雄早期作品的声誉经济

The Economy of Prestige of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Early Works

石黑一雄前三部小说由知名出版商出版后,获得了知名作家及纸媒的认可,并收获了各类知名文学奖,为作家及其作品积累了良好的声誉。作为一种象征资本,声誉既成为石黑一雄早期作品强有力的市场营销手段,又被成功地转化成经济资本,促成了严肃小说象征价值与经济价值的有机融合。这是当代西方消费社会艺术场运行的一个新法则,与布尔迪厄关于艺术场二元对立结构的理论十分不同。

Kazuo Ishiguro’s first three novels were published by prestigious publishers,recognized by prestigious writers,newspapers and periodicals,and won prestigious literary prizes,which helps the author and his works accumulate prestige.As an important symbolic capital,prestige has become a powerful marketing tool for Ishiguro’s early works,has been successfully converted into economic capital,and has fostered the perfect combination of the symbolic and the economic values of serious literary novels.It is a new rule of the art field in contemporary Western consumer society,totally different from Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of binary oppositional structure of the art field.
