从“响”字解读《特别响,非常近》中隐含的音轨

当代美国作家乔纳森·萨福兰·弗尔的小说《特别响,非常近》刻画了一个在'9·11'事件中痛失父亲的小男孩奥斯卡。小男孩努力寻找与父亲生前留下的钥匙相匹配的锁,在此过程中,他与祖父母交叉诉说着各自的创伤体验。小主人公的听觉主体性影射着当下的社会语境,同时一定程度上建构了其内心的'声音景观'。多样的创伤背后却隐含着多重音轨,与书名的'响'声相呼应。隐含的音轨,不再局限于传统的创伤叙事,而是通过重新思考图像与文字背后的听觉形态,解读人的内心张力和历史语境。

Contemporary American writer Jonathan Safran Foer portrays a boy called Oskar who lost his father in the 9/11 attacks.The boy tries his best to seek out the lock that matches the key left by his father,during which he and his grandparents tell their traumatic experiences respectively.The acoustic subjectivity of the protagonist reflects the social contexts,to some extent,constructing the'soundscape'in Oskar’s inner world.Diverse traumas imply the multiple-layered sound tracks,which echo the word in the title'loud'.Instead of being confined to the traditional trauma narrative,the very sound tracks reread the persons’inner tension and the historical contexts through the acoustic form behind pictures and between lines.
