从《花之城》看日本“征用作家”的战争责任

War Responsibilities of "Propaganda Writers" as Reflected in A City of Flowers

文学作品在记录历史方面起着独特的作用。井伏鳟二在《花之城》中虚构了日军占领下的新加坡市民的和平生活,讴歌了日本的对外战争。其原因除了战争时期政府的高压统治以外,日本作家自身的因素也不可忽视。战争中,大多数日本知识分子都没有从意识形态上去认识、判断、怀疑过战争,进而导致了他们对日本政府对外政策的轻信和盲从。然而,历史的真相却不能因文学的虚构而被掩盖,文学家在"传承历史"问题上的责任重大,研究文学家、文学作品,不仅可以了解日本文学家与战争的关系,还可以为研究战争提供一个途径。

Literary works play a unique role in recording history. In the novel A City of Flowers, MASUJI IBUSE fabricates a peaceful life of the citizens of Singapore under the occupation of Japanese soldiers and eulogizes Japanese external war. The reasons for this lie in some elements of the author himself, as well as the highhanded fascist government during the war. During the war, most Japanese intellectuals did not understand or doubt the war ideologically, which leads to their ready belief and blind following of the external diplomatic policy of the Japanese government. However, historical truth can not be covered by literary fiction. Writers undertake great responsibility in 'spreading and inheriting history'. The study of writers and literary works can not only help us learn the relationship between Japanese writers and the war but also provide an approach to the research of war problems. 
