摘　　要：多克特罗在《拉格泰姆时代》中借助拉格泰姆音乐的隐喻,以直观呈现、讲述、主题模式三者合一的音乐叙事塑造了“期待”与“惊异”并存的美学体验,蕴含变化中坚守不变、异质中寻求和谐的时代哲学。此外,拉格泰姆音乐的起源及特征也折射出黑人于异质文化中维系文化身份的智慧和传承文化传统的努力。其音乐叙事还成功彰显了一个好坏掺杂、身份经历重构、伦理复杂化的“破碎时代”。主人公科尔豪斯的暴力变革之路不仅揭示了伦理的多维性和复杂化,而且引发人们思考相同性与差异性中谋求中间道路的戏谑式“严肃游戏”态度及伦理主体的自我形塑或许是破碎时代中克服时代局限,实现一个具有积极意义的未来的重要出路。Based on the metaphor of ragtime music,E.L.Doctorow through the music narratives in the integrated models of showing,telling,and thematically echoing music,creates an aesthetic experience of“expectation”and“surprise”in Ragtime,which contains the philosophy of the era that features the commitment to something in changes as well as the pursuit of harmony in heterogeneity.Moreover,the origin and characteristics of ragtime also reflects the wisdom and efforts of the blacks in maintaining their cultural identity and being committed to their own cultural traditions in changing environments.At the same time,its music narratives embody a“rag time”in which the good time and bad time mingle together,in which the identity undergoes reconstruction,and in which ethics is confronted with complexity.The protagonist Coalhouse Walker’s violent revolution not only reveals the multiple-perspectives and complexity of ethics,but also makes it dawn on people’s minds that a playful“serious game”which seeks a middle path between sameness and difference as well as the self-forming of the ethical subject may be an important way for people to overcome the limitations of the rag time and realize a positive future.
