石黑一雄作品中的孤儿形象与离散主题

Orphan Image and Diasporic Theme in Kazuo Ishiguro's Fiction

石黑一雄作品中塑造了一系列的孤儿形象,其中有因为战争或因父母双亡而沦落为孤儿,也有"自我流放型"的孤儿。通过孤儿形象,作家表达了个体在成长过程中的必然经历,即每个人都要以孤儿的状态面对生活。同时,石黑一雄以孤儿身份寓意了当下多元文化与全球化背景下的"离散"主题。孤儿形象也因此具备了后殖民主义与后现代主义的文化内涵。

In his fiction, Kazuo Ishiguro portrays a series of orphans. Some of them fall into orphanage due to the war or parental death, and others will themselves to be ＂exilic＂ orphans. These orphans are a metaphor of the inevitable experience in individual growth, that is, everyone needs to face the world as an orphan. At the same time the orphan image embodies the theme of diaspora in the context of contemporary multicuhuralism and globalization. Ishigurian orphans thus acquire the cultural import of postcolonialism and postmodemism.
