鲍比·迪伦的歌是文学吗?

Do Bob Dylan's Song Lyrics Fall into the Cafegory of Literature?

2016诺贝尔文学奖颁给了美国流行歌手、创作人鲍比·迪伦,引发了文学界的广泛热议:迪伦的歌算文学吗?歌手获诺奖是否意味着传统文学体系已经遭到解构?本文从文学本体论、文学类型学以及迪伦音乐的文学性等方面讨论了该议题。本文认为,词作并未超出文学的边界与范畴,迪伦获奖遭到质疑这一文化现象折射出文学界传统至上的类型崇拜与信心迷失,歌词作为不可或缺的文学类型,本身就是文学张力的具体范式。对迪伦获奖的争议不应该纠缠于文学形态,而应该回归对迪伦词作的艺术性向度的讨论。

The Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 was awarded to American pop singer and creator Bob Dylan,which aroused heated discussions: Is Bob Dylan literature? Focusing on this topic from the perspective of the ontology and typology of literature and the literary value of lyrics,this paper argues that Dylan's lyrics are within the cope of literature. The questioning of Dylan's award reflects the typology worship of tradition-paramountcy and confidence lost among literati.
