05-25 [讀書] 雜談小津安二郎,《我是賣豆腐的,所以我只做豆腐》
最近拿一些短篇看,以打發瑣碎的時間。除了剛才看完的這本小津的散文集外,另外一本則是銀色快手翻譯的芥川龍之介怪談短篇小說集《地獄變》。以文集的標準來說,這本散文集其實編得的不好。一來是書中其實大量引用了田中真澄所編的幾部小津發言集成,但這些引用都沒有標明小津這些言論的切確時間;二來是戰中書信部份並沒有說明是寫給誰,而且選錄的信件中,好幾篇都內容相似。
此外,尚有一個見仁見智的問題:這些稍嫌散亂的散文、發言、書信、訪談,原書似乎沒有請人寫導論,讀者所能做的,只有從這些零散的文章中試圖做一點歸納。事實上這也是繁體版易智言的導讀所作的事情,但說起來這種程度的介紹不過是把一個普通讀者的讀後感放在最前面,對理解作者與這些文字實在沒有任何幫助。還好我早已經養成翻譯書絕對先跳過導論的閱讀習慣。臺灣出版社往往找一些名人寫導論,但導論往往寫得像讀後感,只是告訴你這個出版社找的名人根本一點也不了解這本書跟這個作者。上一本讓我有這個感覺的書,便是麥田出版,坂口安吾的《墮落論》。胡晴舫的導讀只是套用一些普遍的現代性問題。這樣的導讀顯示出來的,只是胡對坂口以及日本近代史、日本近代思潮的完全無知。除了浪費紙張之外,這種導讀真的對讀者沒有助益。
當然,也可以不用歸納。有一搭沒一搭的看看這些散文,再看看電影,多少可以體會小津的精神。雖然從書末〈小津談自己的電影創作〉來看,小津的電影至少可以分成四五個時期:最初的試驗、喜劇階段,後來1931年拍完《美人哀愁》的一段徬徨期、戰爭,戰爭之後的試圖表現正向的階段。也可以從默片、有聲騙到彩色片來加以劃分。假使我們留意到小津電影(觀)的這種演變階段,那麼是不是可以這樣籠統地把這些不同時期的發言看作一個整體,也就成了問題。不過這樣籠統的一本文集,只好先以這樣籠統的方式觀看了。
想要進一步了解小津,卻又不懂日文的讀者,只得找找中國學者周以量翻譯的幾本小津專論,包括田中真澄的《小津安二郎周遊》(廣西師大,2009)與蓮實重彥的《導演小津安二郎》(中信出版,2012),另外 Donald Richie 的先驅研究 Ozu: His Life and Films (1977) 也於2009年在中國出版了中譯本。否則以這些散文要能在電影之外進一步理解小津,恐怕有些以管窺天。相較於中國近年的這些翻譯,臺灣近期對小津的譯介,可說是貧乏至極。事實上,不只是小津這樣的世界名導有可觀的翻譯評介,就日本電影而言,中國也譯介了一些不錯的作品,例如四方田犬彥的《日本電影與戰後的神話》(南京大學出版社,2011)。
說也奇怪,出版社打著本書是「小津安二郎唯一文集」的噱頭,但是前面提及的田中真澄早已經編輯過《小津安二郎全發言1933-1945》(1987)、《小津安二郎戰後語錄集成1946-1963》(1989)、《全日記小津安二郎》(1993)等著作,在這本文集中,編者也毫不隱晦的大量引用。所以,到底在什麼性質上,這本書能夠稱為「小津安二郎唯一文集」呢?有意思的反是譯者陳寶蓮接連翻譯了黑澤明的自傳《蝦蟆的油》(麥田。這本算重譯本,以前臺灣翻譯出版過)與這本小津的文集,不曉得是否會繼續翻譯有關的電影著作?
之所以買這本書,事實上是因為先前擔任助教的東亞現代史課程,在某堂選用了小津的《我出生了,但……》(1932)作為選讀材料,為了對小津的電影觀有更多的了解,以便與學生討論而買的。後來也選錄了一些內容作為補充資料提供給學生。不過那時我還沒有看完這本書。現在看完以後,對小津的整體電影世界有比較多的理解,或許會用不同的方式講給同學吧。像是我前些日子看《早安》的時候,對一些節點不明所以,但看完文集之後才發現,小津其實有意的在電影中放一些笑料。所以那些我不明所以的節點,很可能並沒有什麼深刻的用意,只是小津放的笑料,是我自己想得太複雜了。
此外,當初備課翻閱時,也注意到當中收錄了不少小津的戰中書信,本來是想過後來在做戰爭經驗的地方,可以拿來做為補充資料。不過後來辭了助教,也就沒機會做這件事了。但戰爭經歷確實是小津人生的一部分,也有不少研究者注意到。但怎麼樣理解卻是一個問題。香港著名文化人馬家輝在鳳凰衛視開卷八分鐘裡面的介紹,真是貧乏單薄至極,甚至不如豆瓣上網友的評論。上網搜尋了一下,除了編小津發言全集的田中真澄寫過一本《小津安二郎と戦争》(みすず書房,2005)之外,與那覇潤也寫過一本《帝国の残影—兵士・小津安二郎の昭和史》(エヌティティ出版,2011)。這時不經感嘆,沒學好日文果然是一大敗筆!要是此時能通日文,便可以看到更深入的解析,而不是馬家輝流的國族主義敘事。該趁著有機會補足的時候來補足呀!

05-09 [翻譯] 為支持日本國內歷史學者們而發的公開信 OPEN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF HISTORIANS IN JAPAN
8月1日增補:這封公開信連署的學者有增加,請參考 The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus 的整理(按,Japan Focus改版後網址改變,公開信連署請參見此處)。
寫在前面:
5月6日韓聯社發表了這份由187位英語世界學者(以美國為主)的連署公開信(韓聯社中文報導),隨後國內如《聯合報》等媒體陸續跟進,但有一些報導有失準確(例如公開信本身並未要求日本道歉,而是採取行動)。
這份公開信看得出來花了不少心思斟酌字句,可以說是面面俱到。而連署者除了媒體報導的學者如道爾(John W. Dower,代表作《擁抱戰敗》已經有簡體版,很可惜臺灣一直沒有引進他的著作)、傅高義(這個應該是人盡皆知)、康明斯(Bruce Cumings,代表作 The Origins of the Korean War ,非常厚重的大書。臺灣是前幾年左岸引進了他的《朝鮮戰爭》)、畢克斯(Herbert Bix,代表作 Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan,臺灣由時報以《裕仁天皇》為名出版,目前絕版)之外,尚有許多要角,可說是份量十足。
例如,美國研究日本史的大咖,才剛在2012年因其長年的研究促進日、美的相互了解,而獲得日本政府頒授旭日中綬章的 Peter Duus(近年代表作為研究日本帝國主義的 The Abacus and the Sword );又如哈佛大學的日本近代史權威 Andrew Gordon(代表作The Evolution of Labor Relations in Japan: Heavy Industry, 1853–1955,有簡體譯本。臺灣比較容易買到的是他編撰的教科書 A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present。最新翻譯版由香港中文大學出版社以《200年日本史:德川以來的近代化進程》印行)。其他像是 The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus 的編輯 Mark Selden(賽爾登,他比較為臺灣所知的學術著作,應該是與裴宜理合編的 Chinese Society: Change, Conflict and Resistance,繁體中譯本由香港中文大學出版社以《中國社會:變革、衝突與抗爭》印行);天普大學日本校區亞洲研究學程主任,經常在 The Japan Times 上寫評論的 Jeff Kingston,乃至近年來研究東亞歷史教科書與記憶問題的新秀 Daniel Sneider 都有簽署。
進一步來看,這份名單之中日裔或日籍者也不算少數。除了鼎鼎大名,國際關係與外交史的大家 Akira Iriye(入江昭)之外,像研究日本近代的 Takashi Fujitani(成名作 Splendid Monarchy: Power and Pageantry in Modern Japan )、日本思想史大家 Tetsuo Najita(代表作 Visions of Virtue in Tokugawa Japan: The Kaitokudo Merchant Academy of Osaka,此書日文版由子安宣邦翻譯),後起新秀内田じゅん(Jun Uchida,代表作 Brokers of Empire: Japanese Settler Colonialism in Korea, 1876-1945 )。The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus 的編輯之一,日裔學者Satoko Oka Norimatsu (乗松聡子,其與同刊另一位編輯 Gavan McCormack 合著的 Resistant Islands: Okinawa Confronts Japan and the United States 方由中國社會科學文獻出版社出版中譯本《沖繩之怒:美日同盟下的抗爭》,此書亦在2013年出版日譯本)、醫療史大家栗山茂久(Shigehisa Kuriyama,代表作The Expressiveness of the Body and the Divergence of Greek and Chinese Medicine,臺灣曾由究竟出版引進,題為《身體的語言》)等都有簽署。
其他尚有後殖民研究與亞洲歷史研究的要角 Prasenjit Duara (杜贊奇,他的中國研究比日本研究來得多,筆者能想到沾上邊的原因,或許與他研究過滿洲國有關),中籍新秀楊大慶(Daqing Yang,代表作 Technology of Empire: Telecommunications and Japanese Expansion in Asia, 1883-1945 )。倒是韓裔學者似乎只有文有美(Yumi Moon,代表作 Populist Collaborators The Ilchinhoe and the Japanese Colonization of Korea, 1896–1910 ),近年來很重要的 Gi-Wook Shin 卻沒看到,是比較意外的。
說起來,這份名單實在是令對日本史學界略知一二的人不敢輕忽,簽署者的分量十足,囊括了英語世界中日本史研究的老、中、青三代,如Peter Duus、Tetsuo Najita 都是七八十歲高齡的先驅大老,可惜我們的媒體只抄抄外電,沒有能力解讀這份名單,甚至還有一些地方寫錯了。所以自己不揣淺陋,花了一點時間用自己破爛的英文能力翻譯了中文版,順道點幾位耳聞過的研究者,說明連署者的份量,希望能幫助大家了解這份公開信的份量。此份公開信原文有上網,可見H-Net(有英、日文版)。
在臺灣,慰安婦問題相對邊緣,我們對其他國家的慰安婦狀況了解也相當有限。婦女救援基金會對此問題著力最深,也在1999年出版《臺灣慰安婦報告》。2009年朱德蘭女士的《臺灣慰安婦》仍是目前最全面的研究著作。這個月初,臺灣最後的慰安婦受害者之一美女阿嬤過世,目前台灣所知的慰安婦阿嬤僅餘4位在世。

為支持日本國內歷史學者們而發的公開信 OPEN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF HISTORIANS IN JAPAN
以下署名的日本研究者們,在此表達吾等與日本國內許多勇敢的歷史學者們一致的立場。這些日本歷史學家探求一種準確與正直的亞洲二戰史。正因日本是我們的研究領域,同時也是我們之中許多人的第二故鄉,我們懷著一份如何學習與紀念日本與亞洲歷史的共同關切寫下這封信。
在這重要的紀念週年,這封信也為了慶祝日本與其近鄰間七十年的和平而寫成。戰後日本的民主歷程、軍隊的文官掌控、警察權的約制、政治上的寬容,伴隨對科學的貢獻與向其他國家慷慨的援助,這一切都值得一齊慶祝。
但歷史解釋的問題卻橫阻在慶祝這些成就之前。被稱為「慰安婦」的體系是最引起紛爭的一個歷史議題。這個議題在日本乃至韓半島(Korea)與中國國內國族主義者的謾罵聲中變得如此扭曲,以至於許多學者,連同記者與政治家們迷失了歷史探究的基本目標,即是理解人類境況並立志改進之。
在受難者的國家,以國族主義目的利用前「慰安婦」的苦難使得國際性的最終處理方案更加困難,也進一步損害了這些女性自身的人性尊嚴。而否認或對曾發生在她們身上的一切輕描淡寫也同樣令人無法接受。在二十世紀許多的戰時性暴力以及軍方賣淫的案例之中,「慰安婦」體系以其巨大的規模、軍部門系統性的管理,還有它對日本殖民或佔領區域年少、窮困以及弱勢的婦女的剝削而臭名昭彰。
通往「正確的歷史」並沒有易行之途。許多日本帝國軍部的檔案已被銷毀。那些向軍方提供女性的地方皮條客們的行動,可能從未被紀錄。但歷史學者們業已發掘許多表明軍部參與女性轉輸和妓院監管的文件。重要的證據也來自受難者的證詞。儘管她們的故事各式各樣,並受到記憶的矛盾性影響,但她們提供的集體紀錄令人信服,且可為官方文件乃至軍人及其他口述材料佐證。
歷史學者們爭執著「慰安婦」的切確人數,而這可能永遠不會有無可置疑的答案。確立合理的受難者估數字是重要的。但最終,無論這個數字被評斷在數萬或數十萬都不會改變這個事實:其在日本帝國與它的交戰區域中施行的剝削。
一些歷史學者們也爭辯日本軍部參與此事的程度有多直接,以及女性是否被強制成為「慰安婦」。然而大量的女性在違背她們意志的情況下被拘束並遭受恐怖的暴行已是確證昭然。使用那些專注於特定用詞或孤立文書,拘泥於法律文字的論證來挑戰受難者的證詞,既是錯失她們獸性遭遇(their brutalization)的根本問題,也是否認背後更大的脈絡——剝削她們的殘忍體系。
正如我們在日本的同行一般,我們相信只有小心的衡量與脈絡性的評估每一個過去的軌跡才能產生一部正直的史著。那樣的作品必須抵抗國族的與性別的偏見,並且免於政府的操縱、審查與私下威嚇。我們捍衛歷史研究的自由,而我們呼籲所有的政府一同捍衛這份自由。
許多國家仍在為承認過去的不義努力。歷經四十年,美國政府才為其在二戰期間的集中營賠償日裔美國人。直到廢除奴隸制度一個世紀之後,對非裔美國人的平等承諾才在美國法律中實踐,而種族主義的現實仍在美國社會中根深蒂固。沒有一個19與20世紀的帝國主義霸權,包括美國、歐洲各國與日本,可以聲稱已經充分地處理他們種族主義、殖民主意與戰爭的歷史,乃至他們強加在世界各地無數平民身上的苦痛。
今日的日本重視每個個人的生活與權利,包括最弱勢的一群。如今,無論在海外或境內,日本政府都不再默許如軍部「慰安婦」一般對婦女的剝削體系。即便在當時,一些官員仍以道德理由抗議。然戰時政權強迫個人為服務國家完全地奉獻,造成了日本人民自身與其他亞洲人民巨大的痛苦。沒有人應當再次承受此般境況。
這一年,提供日本政府一次展現領袖風範,同時從言語與行動兩方面處理日本殖民統治與戰爭侵略歷史的機會。在四月對美國國會的演講之中,首相安倍談論人權的普世價值、人類安全的重要性以及面對日本對其他國家造成的苦痛。我們為這些主張(sentiment)喝采,同時敦促首相為這一切無畏地採取行動。
承認過往錯誤的進程將強健民主的社會並培養國家間的合作。正因「慰安婦」議題的核心,乃是女性平等的權利與尊嚴,故此議題的最終處理將會是日本、東亞與世界邁向男女平等的歷史性一步。
在我們的課堂中,來自日本、韓半島、中國以及其他地區的學生互相尊重、正直地討論這些困難的議題。他們的世代,將與我們遺贈的過往紀錄一同生存。為了幫助他們建立一個免於性暴力與人口販賣的世界,也為了促進亞洲內部的和平與友誼,我們必定要留下一份盡可能完整與無偏,對過往錯誤的清算(accounting)。
