跨媒介的“生命书写”:石黑一雄创作的自传动因

Cross-media“Life Writing”:The Autobiographical Motivation of Kazuo Ishiguro's Creation

英籍日裔作家石黑一雄的创作呈现出“生命书写”的特质,折射出日本文化、音乐经历与主体意识的融通。一方面,作者以20世纪50年代移民经历中零散的日本印象为核心,碎片化地呈现了他在长崎的童年生活;另一方面,早年命途多舛的音乐历程也不断形塑小说的叙事内核:归档日本记忆和诉说逐梦遗憾构成其从事小说创作的两大自传动因,并与日本“人文主义”电影和诸多音乐元素存在跨媒介的联动关系。石黑一雄创作的自传动因源于其跨媒介的“生命书写”,影像、乐音与文字的互动不但重构了其以童年日本印象为核心的回忆空间,更描摹了现代性语境中普罗大众的生存境遇,展现出作者的人文良心。

Japanese-British writer Kazuo Ishiguro's creation shows a remarkable“'life writing”characteristic,ref lecting the integration of Japanese culture,music background and self-subject consciousness.On the one hand,he bases his fragmented childhood in Nagasaki on scattered memories of his immigration experience in the 1950s.On the other hand,the rough course of his musical exploration in early years also shapes the narrative core of his novels.The archiving of Japanese memories and narration of regret for pursuing dreams constitute two autobiographical motivations for Kazuo Ishiguro's fiction,which has a cross-media connection with Japanese humanistic tradition films and many musical elements.The autobiographical motivation for Kazu0 Ishiguro's creation stems from his cross-media“life writing”.The interplay of images,music and texts not only reconstructs the memory space centered on Japan in his childhood,but also describes the living conditions of the general public in the context of modernity,showing his humanist conscience.
