摘要
《责任》是罗迪.多伊尔“巴利镇三部曲”的第一部作品,它以都柏林北部巴利镇上一群年青人组建乐队的经历为叙事内容,生动描绘了乐队的排练和演出过程。通过挖掘小说中音乐元素的文化内涵,本文试图考察多伊尔对爱尔兰身份问题的深度思考。他似乎希望摆脱那种只把爱尔兰视为英国“他者”的程式化思维模式,进而更好地从经济全球化带给爱尔兰的影响来进一步审视本民族文化生产与身份建构的关系,以及文化生产者应有的责任问题。
The Commitments, the first book of Roddy Doyle' s "BaiTytown Trilogy", recounts how a band of soul music run by a group of Dublin youngsters disbands with a new band being conceived. Doyle' s profound reconsideration of Irish national identity finds its full expression in the story' s cultural implications as are embodied in its use of music. By approaching Irish culture and the issues of Irishness from a global perspective, Doyle challenges the stereotyped image of Ireland as "the Other" of England and attempts to reconstruct Irish identity with an awareness of a cultural intermediary.
