美国小说家詹姆斯·琼斯的代表作《从这里到永恒》(1951)描写了二战爆发前驻守夏威夷的美国士兵的军旅生活。在小说中,布鲁斯音乐不仅作为展示士兵业余爱好和娱乐生活的一种方式在小说中数次出现,而且成为一种特殊的象征符号预示着人物命运的走向,并推动着故事情节的发展。本文试图以布鲁斯为切入点,将其与小说所反映的美国20世纪三四十年代广阔的社会背景联系起来,分析布鲁斯承载的文化意义的流变在这一时期的具体表现,再将其与小说主题相结合,进而探讨布鲁斯音乐与小说文本的互动。
American novelist James Jones’s masterpiece “From Here to Eternity” (1951) depicts the military life of American soldiers stationed in Hawaii before World War II. In the novel, Bruce music not only appears in the novel several times as a way of displaying the hobby and entertainment life of soldiers, but also becomes a special kind of symbol that heralds the fate of the characters and promotes the development of the story. This paper attempts to use Bruce as a starting point to link it with the broad social background of the United States in the 1930s and 1940s as reflected in the novel and to analyze the concrete manifestation of the cultural changes Bruce carried during this period. The theme of the novel is combined to explore the interaction between Bruce music and novel text.
