In Search of Alternative Soundscapes: International Modernism and Sonic Warfare in Late 1930s China

摘要

摘要: 本文追溯了两种战时现代主义的交叉路径，以及他们在1930年代末与中国战时声景的相遇：第一种以W·H·奥登的现代主义诗歌为代表，第二种则是尤里斯·伊文思的政治现代主义记录片。本文以1930年代现代主义的跨国网络为背景，探讨了奥登和伊文思的战时中国之行，如何启发了他们关于声音美学的各自不同的现代主义实验。1938年，奥登和伊文思，从西班牙内战的废墟中走来，抵达战时中国的战场。他们对于中国抗战的观察和经历，使他们分别创作了《战时组诗》（1939年）与纪录片《四万万人民》。他们共同记录了战时中国的复杂声景：空袭来临时的爆炸声、警报声，与战争受害者的哭喊声。然而在写实之外，他们也试图重新想象另类的声景，以对抗战争所造成的感官危机。

Abstract: This article traces the crossed paths of two types of wartime modernisms and their respective engagements with China's wartime soundscapes in the late 1930s:the first is represented by the modernist poetry of W.H.Auden, and the second is the political modernist documentary of Joris Ivens. Contextualizing the two artists within the network of international modernism in the 1930s, I examine how Auden's and Ivens's journeys to wartime China informed divergent modernist experiments with the expressive and affective capacity of sound and voice, and argue that they developed their own auditory aesthetics and constructed alternative soundscapes beyond wartime acoustic violence. Auden and Ivens followed a similar path from Madrid to Wuhan, embarking from the debris of the Spanish Civil War and arriving at the battlefield of wartime China. Their encounters with the Sino-Japanese War were crystallized, respectively, into the sonnet series of "In Time of War" (1939) and the solidarity documentary film, The 400 Million(1938). Both artists registered the complex soundscape of wartime China:while they were overwhelmed by the deadly blasts of aerial bombardment, siren sounds, and cries of war victims, they sought to redress this wartime crisis of perception by reimagining an alternative soundscape beyond the sonic warfare.
