美的使者:论谷崎润一郎笔下的女性形象及其美学理念

The Messenger of Beauty:On the Female Images and Aesthetic Idea in Tanizaki’s Works

谈到日本唯美主义文学,就不能绕过谷崎润一郎。在他的唯美主义世界中,女性是主体,围绕着的大多是两类女性形象:玩具与神。官能美的极致诱惑与日本古典美的永恒,两种女性形象交织碰撞,诠释了谷崎对美的独到见解,由此也产生了与众不同的美学风格和理念。许多人认为谷崎是想反抗现实创造一个女性主导的唯美世界,然而从他的作品来看,看似是谷崎颠覆了日本的男权社会创造了一个女性主导的世界,背后却始终是男性在操纵着一切。

When it comes to Japanese aestheticism literature,one cannot bypass Junichiro Tanizaki.In the aesthetic world he created,there were mostly two kinds of female images:toys and gods.Toys symbolize the ultimate temptation of the beauty of the senses,while gods symbolize the eternal beauty of the Japanese classic.In Tanizaki’s works,no matter what kind of women they are,they are the carrier of beauty.He has a unique view of beauty from which he also produces a distinctive aesthetic style and concept.Many people think that Tanizaki is trying to defy reality to create an aesthetic world dominated by women,and judging from his works:it seems that Tanizaki subverted the patriarchal society in Japan to create a world dominated by women,but behind the manipulation of men.
