村上春树文学中的城市表述方法——以《舞舞舞》为例

Urban Description of Haruki Murakami's Writings: A Case Study of Dance Dance Dance

熟悉村上春树的读者们都知道,村上喜爱很多美国作家,其中菲茨杰拉德可说是他第一推崇。其中尤其值得注意的是"城市表述"上的关连。从初期的《1973年的弹子球》到最近推出的《没有色彩的多崎作和他的巡礼之年》,"都市表述"贯穿了每个时期的小说创作。然而在其过渡期的作品中,村上春树跳脱"都市小说"以个人为主题的形式,融入"地铁沙林事件"、战争、高度资本主义等社会议题,这些小说更是突出了村上其创作开拓的领域。因此本文聚焦《舞舞舞》,寻访在"过渡期"阶段村上文学中"城市表述"的转变。

Readers who are familiar with Haruki Murakami know that the writer admires many American writers, Fitzgerald in particular. What’s worth noting is that the two writers have something in common in their way of describing urban areas. From the early novelPinball, 1973toColorlessTsukuruTazakiandHisYearsofPilgrimage, the description of urban areas appears throughout Murakami’s works. However, in the transitional period of his creation, in addition to the individual themes in urban novels, Murakami began to involve social issues in his writing, like Sarin gas attack on the subway, war and high capitalism. His works in this period accordingly show this change. Focusing onDanceDanceDance, the paper is searching for the change in his urban description.
