图像中的劳动呼声:野夫木刻《建筑第一声》的声音叙事

The Labor Voice in the Image:Sound Narrative of Yefu s Woodcut The First Sound of Architecture

劳动呼声是工人在劳动过程中发出的声音,最终表达出的是一个关于“工人阶级”的概念。二十世纪二三十年代,以劳动呼声为主题的声音叙事在野夫创作木刻版画《建筑第一声》前后已广泛流行,并为此提供叙事的理论依据与图像资源。野夫通过劳动场景再现劳动呼声,并通过劳动呼声召唤工人加入一个新的、行动型的建设现代都市的现代主体,以工人的打椿劳动作为表现建筑第一声的视觉场景,不仅是关注到这一时期上海摩天楼的建造活动,更是隐含着工人阶级是现代世界之创造者的艺术观念。

Labor voice refers to the sounds made by workers during the labor process,ultimately expressing a concept of the“working class”.In the 1920s and 1930s,sound narratives centered on labor voice were widely popular,providing theoretical basis and visual resources for Yefu s creation of The First Sound of Architecture.Yefu recreated labor voice through labor scenes and summoned workers to join a new,proactive subject in constructing the modern city.By using the visual scene of worker s labor on the pile driving as the representation of the first sound of architecture,the artwork not only focused on the construction of Shanghai skyscrapers during that period but also implied the artistic concept that the working class is the creator of the modern world.
