从大江文学看战后日本文学中的天皇制禁忌

The Emperor System Portrayed in Postwar Japanese Literature

战后的日本虽然进入了民主社会,但天皇制仍然是让文学无法轻易触碰的一块禁地。大江健三郎、深泽七郎等人作品的被封杀,证明了日本战后文学的脆弱。大江的小说《十七岁》、《政治少年之死》,揭示出天皇制优越性、排他性、暴力性的本质,与其说它是对天皇制本身的否定,莫如说它是大江对民主主义思想尚未完全得以贯彻的战后日本现状的忧虑和批判,也是大江意欲摆脱禁忌,寻求创作自由的尝试。在天皇制禁忌依然根深蒂固的今天,大江等作家的努力越发难能可贵。

After the World War II Japan began its era of democracy, yet the Emperor system continued to be a delicate area remained outofbounds for literature.An example of the fragility of postwar Japanese literature is in the suppression of the works of Oe Kenzaburo, Fukasawa Shichiro and other writers. Oe's Seventeen,A death of Political boy potrayed the Emperor System as a symbol of ascendancy, exclusivity and oppression, there was not that much denial of the system itself. Rather, these works reflect his concern that democracy failed to be thouroughly implemented in postwar Japan, as well as his attempt to challenge the taboos in order to achieve greater creative freedom. Today, as the Emperor system remains deeply rooted in the Japanese culture, Oe's efforts are more highly praise worthy.
