摘要:身体栖居对现代主义至关重要。其显著的特征就是20世纪以来人的感知模式的更新所主导的文艺叙事的革命。本文聚焦小说中的音乐书写,探究现代性感知模式的特征及其如何引发小说的体式革新诉求,具体表现为,英国现代主义小说家们何以在具体的文学实践中,在以新的时间感知与情感体验为特色的感知内容,以听觉转向和声音技术为特色的新感知形式的加持下,诉诸基于音乐特性的跨媒介策略的,并最终寻求现代主义音乐书写的基本特征及价值。

Title: Exploration and Representation: Musical Writing in the Modern Sensory Perception

ModeTaking British modernist novels as an example

Abstract: Physical habitation is crucial for modernism. Its prominent feature is the revolution in literary narrative dominated by the updating of human perception patterns since the 20th century. This article focuses on the musical writing in novels, exploring the characteristics of the modernist sensory mode and how it triggers the demand for stylistic innovation in novels. Specifically, it is manifested in how British modernist novelists, in specific literary practices, appeal to cross media strategies based on music characteristics with the support of perceptual content characterized by new time perception and emotional experience, and new perceptual forms characterized by auditory turn and sound technology, ultimately seeking the basic characteristics and values of modernist music writing.

Keywords: musical writing; voice; British modernist novels; cross-media narrative
