结构的音乐化——石黑一雄的跨媒介叙事

Musicalization of the Structure of Novels:Kazuo Ishiguro s Transmedia Storytelling

诺贝尔文学奖得主石黑一雄小说中的情感力量很大程度上源自其跨媒介音乐叙事,即跨出文字媒介的本位,去追求音乐媒介的美学效果和叙事能量。在石黑一雄的小说里,叙述形式和结构也是一种思想,隐含着叙事策略的思想动机和情感动力。现有对石黑一雄小说音乐性的研究多聚焦于其某一部作品,文章希求跳出个案研究的局限,以其多部小说为蓝本,考查石黑一雄如何借鉴作曲理论中的复调和曲式,借助乐音的动态结构与人类的情感结构之间的异质同构,在小说中呈现音乐中变化统一的形式美,从而实现叙述结构和主题思想的异质同构。石黑一雄的跨媒介音乐叙事展现了文学和音乐这两种艺术媒介的独特价值可交相辉映、相得益彰。

The emotional power of Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro s novels largely stems from his cross-media musical narration,that is,Ishiguro goes beyond the standard of text medium to pursue the aesthetic effect and narrative energy of musical medium.In Kazuo Ishiguro s novels,narrative form and structure are also thoughts,implying the ideological motivation and emotional momentum of narrative strategies.The extant studies on the musicality of Ishiguro s novels mostly focus on one of his works. Jumping out of the limitations of existing researches of focusing on Ishiguro s single novel, this paper, based on many of his novels, seeks to examine how by employing Polyphony and Musical forms in musical composition theory and making use of the heterogeneous isomorphism between the dynamic structure of music and the structure of human emotion, Ishiguro prompts text medium and music medium complement each other, represents the formal beauty of changes and unity in music, and thereby reaches the isomorphism of narrative structure and theme in his novels. Kazuo Ishiguro s cross-media musical narration shows the unique value of literature and music as two artistic media that complement each other and bring out the best in each other.
