论村上春树《去中国的小船》中的创伤记忆

The Trauma Memory in Haruki Murakami’s A Slow Boat to China

村上春树在他的第一篇短篇小说《去中国的小船》中通过悖谬叙事展现了日本社会对中国如刺般的他者性认识。这一认知形成的创伤记忆隐藏着当代日本人面对中国时复杂的心理:罪感、负疚,优越、想忘又不能忘。而作家对这篇小说三个版本的修改又现实性地表现了日本社会对中国认知的时代变迁。

In his first collection of short stories A Slow Boat to China, Haruki Murakami shows Japanese society＇ s thorny cognition of China as ＂others＂ by his absurd narration. The trauma memory formed by this cognition conceals the complex psychology of modern Japanese when they face China, which includes sense of sin, guilty, superiority, want to forget yet cannot forget. The author＇ s revision of the three editions of this work also realistically reflects the transition of the China recognition of Japanese society.
