2016年的诺贝尔文学奖姗姗来迟,除了公布时间比往常的“十月份的第一个周四”晚了整整一周,今年的诺奖更是以一个出人意料的方式开了奖——美国民谣诗人鲍勃·迪伦摘得2016年诺贝尔文学奖桂冠。现场宣读的授奖词这样评价他,“在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗歌形式”。这是一场“属于摇滚诗人的胜利”还是与中产、主流、雅痞们媾和的从良之路?诺奖又在我们的文化自信包涵着怎样的隐喻? The 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature came late, except for the publication of a week later than the usual “First Thursday in October”. This year’s Nobel Prize was even won in a surprising way - - American folk poet Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize laureate. The commendatory words read out at the scene commented on him as “creating a new form of poetry in the great American song tradition.” Is this a “victory by a rock poet” or a good way to interact with the middle class, the mainstream, and the Yuppie? What is the Nobel Prize in our cultural confidence?
