摘要

本文分析了由乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》改编而成的专辑《十个召唤师的故事》(1993)的歌词中叙述结构的规范和叙述者的类型。显然,乔叟风格在这张专辑的12首诗中不仅体现在对《坎特伯雷故事集》原著情节的诠释或对最初人物的新特征的赋予上,而且主要体现在对一首诗的叙述者形象中抒情和讽刺语调的利用上。由于歌曲是带有深刻内在经验的合成一般结构,斯汀的专辑在每句诗中都揭示了说话者的不同类型。首先,它是“我的叙述者”,体现在历史学家、战士、圣人、赌徒或哲学家的诗意面具下;像“Fields of Gold”或“Shape of My Heart”这样的文本代表了说话者类型的交替,这种讲故事的方法为歌曲创造了特殊的通用和叙事复调。随后,叙事结构决定了一部独立作品的类型:侦探小说、田园小说、历史反思、故事集、忏悔录,以及某种程度上但丁风格的史诗。总的来说,在《十个召唤师的故事》的歌词中,各种类型的叙述者(被确定为“反身的”、“演员的”、“点画的”和“媒介的”,以及所有可能的组合)将作者自己的生命和创作经验的元素带入歌曲中,他们获得了作为人类生活符号的广义意义,被语言形象包围,并被音乐伴奏放大。

Narrative Polyphony of Sting’s Album “Ten Summoner’s Tales” (1993)
The article analyses the specifications of narrative structures and types of narrators in the song lyrics from the album “Ten Summoner’s Tales” (1993), based on “Canterbury Tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer and traditionally claimed the Magnum Opus of Sting. Apparently, Chaucerian style in all the twelve verses composing the album emerges not merely as the interpretation of original “Canterbury Tales” plots or impartment of the new features to the initial characters, but predominantly as exploitation of the lyrical and ironic intonations within an image of a narrator for a certain poem. Since a song is the synthetic generic structure marked with profound internal experience, Sting’s album reveals the diverse types of a speaker in every verse. Primarily, it is the ‘I-narrator’ embodied in poetic masks of a historian, a warrior, a saint, a gambler or a philosopher; some texts like “Fields of Gold” or “Shape of My Heart” represent the alternation of speaker types, which method of storytelling creates the special generic and narrative polyphony for a song. Subsequently, the narrative structure would determine the genre of a separate work: a detective story, a pastoral, a historical reflection, a cumulative tale, a confession, and somehow a Dante-styled epic poem. Overall, the various types of narrators in Sting’s lyrics composing “Ten Summoner’s Tales” (determined as ‘reflexive,’ ‘actor,’ ‘pointillist’ and ‘medium’ with all possible combinations) bring the elements of the author’s own vital and creative experience into the song where they gain the generalized meanings as symbols of human life, being surrounded with verbal images and amplified with musical accompaniment.
