文学中的听觉叙事对现代音乐阐释困境的拓维
——以《国王在听》与具体音乐为中心的跨媒介参照
单金龙（Shan Jinlong）
摘要：本文以伊塔洛·卡尔维诺《国王在听》及傅修延关于听觉叙事的研究为切入点，在后现代语言危机、媒介等级消解与声音观念扩张的思想背景下，探讨20世纪以来现代音乐所面临的阐释困境。文章认为，随着音乐创作重心由“构建乐谱”转向“创作声音”，声音不再仅是受制于谱面，而成为兼具感知密度、文化属性与空间特征的意义对象。面对这一转向，传统以结构、语法和文本中心为基础的分析方式，非传统西方乐器的声音为基础的现代音乐，已难以充分说明其带来的多义性与开放性。基于此，本文引入“听觉叙事”作为跨学科参照，考察文学中的聆听观念如何为现代音乐中的声音经验提供可被辨认与阐释的理论路径，并指出互文性研究与跨媒介阐释对于重建现代艺术的解释秩序具有方法论价值。

Title: The Auditory Narrative in Literature: Expanding the Solutions to the Current Challenges in Music Interpretation—Centered on The King Is Listening and Specific Music, a Cross-Media Reference
Abstract: Drawing on Italo Calvino’s A King Listens and Fu Xiuyan’s theory of auditory narration, this article explores the interpretive challenges of modern music in the context of the postmodern crisis of language, the collapse of media hierarchies, and the expansion of sonic concepts. It argues that musical creation has shifted from the construction of scores to the creation of sound itself, transforming sound into an object of meaning with perceptual, cultural, and spatial dimensions. Consequently, traditional analytical approaches based on structure, syntax, and textuality are no longer sufficient to explain the ambiguity and openness of modern music, particularly works centered on the sounds of non-traditional Western instruments. By introducing auditory narration as an interdisciplinary framework, the article investigates how literary conceptions of listening may illuminate sonic experience in modern music and highlights the methodological value of intertextual and cross-media interpretation.
