石黑一雄与战后日本电影

战后日本电影对日裔英国作家石黑一雄的英文创作有深刻的影响,但一直以来因为缺乏有效的考证,被多数文学研究学者忽视。本文依据馆藏于美国得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的独家石黑一雄创作笔记文献资料,为日本电影对石黑创作的影响提供佐证,探讨石黑如何通过其小说与以黑泽明、沟口健二及小津安二郎为代表的战后日本电影之间的关联与具有东亚文化内涵的“公案”“魂鬼”及“物哀”思想产生深层联系。石黑一雄与战后日本电影的关联见证了20世纪逐步发展起来的电影为当代小说家的创作所提供的空前可能性。

Postwar Japanese films have significantly influenced the Japanese-British Nobel Prize laureate Kazuo Ishiguro’s writings.While scholars have mentioned the connection between Ishiguro’s novels and cinema,they have not critically examined the interrelation between the two media,nor does it become a main focus among the Ishiguro studies.This essay attempts to fill this gap by offering proof that has been recently found in the unpublished Kazuo Ishiguro papers housed in the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin.By answering questions of how Ishiguro uses the relation between film and fiction as a media to convey ideas related to"gong’an"fiction,ghost story,and"mono no aware"that have distinctively East Asian roots,this essay sets ground for future transmedia studies on fiction and film.
