小说家扎迪·史密斯近日在伦敦南岸中心文学节与歌手杜娅·利帕进行对话，阐述了经济不平等对社会分裂的深刻影响。1史密斯指出，英国福利制度的衰退导致了更大的社会割裂，当人们无法获得住房、就业和基础服务时，对他人差异的感知会升级为真正的对立。1
史密斯通过对比阐述了这一变化的严重性，认为"当你住在体面的房子里，伤害自己可以去医院治疗，和富人孩子享受同样待遇时，差异变得有趣但不是存在性的；现在它们是存在性的"。1她进一步表示，当前"很自然地看向你的左边，想'你他妈是谁？'这是经济和结构问题"。1
这次对话是杜娅·利帕为Service95书会进行的每月作者采访系列的一部分。1伦敦文学节将运营至11月1日。1
Novelist Zadie Smith told singer Dua Lipa that mounting inequality has intensified cultural clashes to the point where they now feel fundamentally existential rather than merely divisive.1 Speaking at the Southbank Centre's London literature festival, Smith attributed this shift to the deterioration of Britain's welfare state, arguing that when people lack access to adequate housing, employment, and basic services, their perception of differences in others escalates into genuine opposition.1
Smith illustrated her point by contrasting past and present conditions: "When you lived in a decent house, you could get treated at a hospital if you hurt yourself, and your children enjoyed the same treatment as rich children's, difference was interesting but not existential; now it is existential."1 She further elaborated that contemporary circumstances naturally prompt people to look around and wonder "who the hell are you?"—a reaction rooted not in cultural preference but in economic and structural hardship.1
The conversation was part of Dua Lipa's monthly author interview series through Service95, with the London literature festival running through November 1.1 Smith's 2000 debut novel White Teeth, published when she was 24 years old, was begun when she was 21.1
