富布赖特学者讲座：迷途家园：鲍勃迪伦的音乐与生活/ NoDirection Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan

2017年4月12日，星期三，晚6:30时

此讲座将用中文进行。

瑞典文学院宣布2016年诺贝尔文学奖授予美国民谣摇滚艺术家鲍勃·迪伦，以表彰他“在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了全新的、赋有诗意的表达方式”。这是诺贝尔文学奖首次颁给一位流行音乐艺术家。对此，国内国际文学界的反映不一。在国内，有批评家比喻说，给迪伦颁发诺奖就如同把鲁迅文学奖授予崔健。有人甚至讽刺说，诺贝尔文学奖的严肃性已经在“风中飘散”了。究竟迪伦的歌词能否算做文学？他的歌词作品与美国当代的优秀作家相比，是否具有独特的优势？瑞典文学院的选择是否过于任性？迪伦获奖是否是“对美国文学的侮辱”？或者说“将欧洲的文学标准强加于美国”？本讲座旨在回答上述问题的同时，也希望回答一系列相关的问题。

Americanmusic icon Bob Dylan won the2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. According to theSwedish academy, the folk songwriter was given the prize “for having creatednew poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Dylan hasbecome the first Rock star to win the Nobel Prize in literature, recognizinghis many accomplishments during a career stretching back to the early 1960s. The Nobel committee’s action has provoked abuzz among the Dylan analysts around the world. While some feel that hedeserves the prestigious award simply for being Bob Dylan, many others willargue against the award, as they argued against him in the infinitely tiresomeDylan v. Keats controversy. In China,“the argument is also raging. Many feel that to grant the prestigious awardto Dylan is tantamount to giving the Lu Xun Prize in Literature to Cui Jian,the father of China’s folk rock. Some “self-ordained professors” are even moreskeptical by quipping that the seriousness of such a prestigious award is blownaway by the wind. Now, the questionsare: Do the meaning and value of every phase and nuance of his output qualifyhim as a major writer of our time if he is being judged on literary grounds?Compared to other excellent writers in contemporary America, does his workstand out as a literary masterpiece? Furthermore, by issuing Dylan the Award,was the Nobel committee aping Dylan’s petulance to the well-establishedliterary tradition in both America and Europe? This talk aims at a detailedanalysis of the questions above as well as a slew of relevant questions.
