摘要
《小夜曲:音乐与黄昏五故事集》(2009)是当代日裔英国作家石黑一雄迄今为止唯一的短篇小说集。这部短篇小说集剖析了在消费社会中市场机制统摄一切的境况下,艺术他律以及艺术家迷失现象的原因和发生机制,体现了石黑一雄对当下社会中的艺术前景和艺术家命运的忧思。艺术家因未能经受住消费社会的磨难和诱惑,被迫向市场机制妥协或积极与之合谋,导致艺术活动成为逐利的商品活动,受消费大众的需求和市场供求规律的辖制。在石黑一雄看来,绝大部分艺术家甘愿随波逐流,做一名“手工艺人”或“名流”,他们不仅丧失了自己的艺术目标,也失去了作为社会良知的代表资格。
Nocturnes:Five Stories of Music and Nightfall(hereinafter referred to as Nocturnes)is Kazuo Ishiguro's only collection of short stories.It dissects the cause and mechanism of the phenomenon of artistic heteronomy and the loss of artists in the consumer society dominated by a market-oriented economy,and explicates Ishiguro's concern about the fate of art and artists in a consumer society.Unable to withstand the ordeal and the temptation brought by consumer society,the artists are either forced to succumb to the market mechanism or actively collude with it.As a result,their artistic activities become profit-driven commodity activities and are dominated by consumer demand and the law of supply and demand.In Ishiguro's eyes,the vast majority of artists are willing to go with the flow and demean themselves as"artisans",losing their artistic goals and their qualification as social consciences.
