情感与道德的双重悲剧——从松本清张《等我一年半》透视日本审美

The Double Tragedy of Emotion and Morality——A Perspective on Japanese Aesthetics from Waiting for Me a Year and a Half by Matsumoto Seicho

松本清张的小说《等我一年半》通过一起杀夫案展现须村里子掩藏在善与美生活下的恶与丑。具有"意气"之美并企图占有"美"的里子在恶和善之间被演绎得淋漓尽致。这可以归根到日本民族心理的两面性,即孩童心理的依赖性和逆反性,这种两面性表现在审美上是自然且执着的,这就必然陷入道德和情感的双重悲剧。这种悲剧性贯穿在人生体验中,是无限延伸的、极端的、没有归宿的审美状态,这即是日本传统审美的内在构造。

Matsumoto’s novel Waiting for Me a Year and a Half reveals the “evilness” and “ugliness” hidden in the life of “goodness” and “beauty” with a murder case. The “evil” and the “good” are fully explored with Sumurako, who is as beautiful as Iki and attempts to possess beauty. This can be attributed to the dual nature of the Japanese national psychology of both dependence and inversion as child psychology, which is reflected in aesthetics as natural and persistent. This inevitably brings about a dual tragedy of morality and emotion. This kind of tragedy runs through a person’ s life experience. It is infinite, extreme and endless, which is the internal structure of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
