读图时代的文学与眼睛、鼻子及心灵之关系——《香水》的意义及其他

The Relationship between Literare and Eyes,Nose and Soul——The Significance and Others of Perfume

读图时代是现代性在阅读方式和阅读对象上的具体表征之一。传统的文学在读图时代正面临新的阅读方式的挑战。就阅读方式和对阅读者的要求而言,图像及影像与文字明显存在着巨大的差异,而所产生的效果也同样存在着差别。文章通过对德国小说家帕特里克.聚斯金德的名作《香水》的分析,阐明《香水》在读图时代的独特意义,进而论述小说作为传统的阅读对象所可能有的生存空间,并试图揭示小说在如今的读图时代依然有其存在的理由,小说没有死,小说自有其它阅读对象不可替代的价值。

We are in the age of read-image, which is one representation of the modernity in the way of reading and the object of reading. The tradition of literature is confronted with＇challenges. There is a difference between the image and the characters on the way of reading and the requirement to the reader. And so the result is different. This paper expounds the distinctive meaning of Perfume, written by Patrick suskind, and then proceeds to discuss the possible space of the novel which is regarded as a traditional reading object, and tries to point out the existing reason of the novel, the novel does not be dead, and the novel has its value which cannot be substituted.
