在重复中超越重复——从《砂女》看安部公房的思想起点

Surpassing Repetition in Repetition——Abe Kobo's Starting Point of Thoughts Reflected in The Woman in The Dunes

《砂女》是日本当代著名作家安部公房的小说代表作。该作品集中表现了"生命之重复"问题,显示出生命之重复的真相,并宣告这种真相无法逃避;人只能在重复中认识重复,并进而超越重复;重复是对意义的消解,但也正是在重复的行动中,创造出了生命的价值。《砂女》的复杂性与对生命的辩证认识正表现在这种对重复的理解中,这是认识安部公房思想的起点。

The Woman in the Dunes is the magnum opus of Abe Kobo, the contemporary Japanese writer. This book reflectes the repetition of life, and reveals the truth of it. It also tells us that this truth is unavoidable. What the man can do is to realize and surpass repetition in repetition. Repetition keeps on dispelling meaning, but meanwhile it is during the action of repetition that the meaning of life is created. The complexity of the Woman in the Dunes and the dialectical understanding about life are precisely embodied by this explanation of repetition, which is the starting point to understand Abe Kobo＇s thoughts
