改写回忆——石黑一雄《远山淡影》《浮世画家》与日本人民战后的内心困境

Memories of Rewriting: A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro and the Inner Dilemma of Japanese after World War Ⅱ

石黑一雄的《远山淡影》和《浮世画家》通过描写第二次世界大战之后日本所面临的社会危机,以及受害者难以弥合的精神创伤,探讨了如何弥合创伤个体与世界的割裂状态。在这个过程中,石黑一雄采用了独特的改写回忆的叙事手段,其中包括“回忆的消失与转移”“回忆的创造与复现”“回忆变形”等形式。通过回忆改写,历史框架内的历史被文学叙事重新改写,获得一种新的评价,而被战争回忆所割裂的个体在改写的回忆中逃出了心灵的悲剧性困境,展现了走向救赎的可能。

The social crisis faced by Japan after World War Ⅱ and the trauma that the victims could not bridge are described in A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro,focusing on how to bridge the gap between traumatic individuals and the separation of the world. In this Process Kazuo Ishiguro adopts a unique narrative strategy of rewriting memories,featured by"the disappearance and transfer of memories","creation and reproduction of memories",and"deformation of memories". By the means of rewriting memories,the history within the historical frame work is rewritten by literary narrative,and obtains a new evaluation. In the rewritten memories,individuals who are separated by the memory of the war escape the tragic dilemma spiritually,showing the possibility of redemption.
