[摘 要] 中国当代文学承担着“描述中国和对话世界”的责任。追溯中国著名作家莫言作品在海外的传播历程,可发现日本翻译界和出版界发挥了重要推动作用。日本译介和出版莫言的文学作品始于20世纪80年代,从最初学者于杂志进行作品介绍,至译介后进行诘责,再到著名学者的力捧和推介;从特定出版社的参与,到后期大型综合出版社的介入,莫言作品数十年间在日本的传播走过了由试水、质疑到接受、认同的曲折历程。在这一过程中,对莫言作品的译介和出版逐渐呈现译介书目最多、销售量巨大、译作载体高权威性和高学术性等特征。从这一角度来说,从译介和出版两个层面深入探讨莫言作品在日本近30年的传播情况,对于研究中国当代文学走向世界之历程具有重要意义。

of Mo Yans Literary Works in Japan

[Abstract] Contemporary Chinese literature shoulders the responsibility of “describing China and communicating with the world”. Looking back at the dissemination process of Mo Yans literary works overseas, it can be found that Japans translating and publishing circles have been key driving forces. Mo Yans works were first translated into and published in Japan in the 1980s. The process began with scholars tentative introductions of his works in journals and magazines, followed by skepticism and criticism and then by vigorous promotion of famous scholars. In the early years only certain publishing houses published Mo Yans works while in the later years some major comprehensive publishing houses also joined in the publication of his works. The past several decades has witnessed twists and turns in the dissemination of Mo Yans works in Japan: from tentative introduction to skepticism and then to acceptance and identification. In the whole process, the translating and publishing of Mo Yans works were characterized by the largest number of works translated, the huge quantity of books sold, the authoritativeness and academic nature of publishing houses. Thus, an in-depth study on the dissemination of Mo Yans works in Japan in the last three decades in terms of translating and publishing is of vital importance to the study on the process of contemporary Chinese literature going out to the world.

在很多人的意識中,若中国当代文学承担着“描述中国和对话世界”的责任,那么,与中国共同走过上千年文化交流历程的日本则是中国当代文学最为重要的对外展示平台。在这一展示过程中,中国当代文学经由翻译和出版来实现向世界言说中国的目标。从这一角度来说,探视中国当代文学在日本的翻译与出版应该说是中外文学交流领域一个具有高度研究价值的视角。莫言是中国第一个走上诺贝尔文学奖台的文学家,他的文学作品可谓是中国当代文学中最为华彩的一页,在当代中外文化交流中占据着重要的地位。……
