《赎罪》的“关怀伦理”书写

Approaching Ethical Care in Atonement

论文从关怀伦理学视角探讨当代英国文坛伊恩·麦克尤恩2001年小说《赎罪》，主要围绕以下三个问题展开：一、谁该赎罪？二、何以赎罪？三、赎罪成否？本文认为除了布里奥妮，许多对秩序和父性权威的追从者、打着所谓正义旗号实施或推动战争暴力的人都是恶的制造者，应该赎罪。小说采用克里斯蒂娃的“女性时间”叙述罗比的战争经历，通过叙述布里奥妮作为一名关怀者在战地的“护理”经历等来消解男性主导的秩序，回归母性气质，展开他们的赎罪之途。罗比的“良知”在临死之前苏醒；布里奥妮则通过写作升华为一名伦理关怀者。

The paper approaches the ethical care in contemporary British writer Ian McEwan＇s 2001 novel Atonement and mainly focuses on three aspects： Whose evil？ How to atone？ Is the atonement successful？ It argues that besides Briony, those people who are indulged in order or pursue war in the name of justice should atone. In the novel Robbie＇s war experience is narrated in way of Kristeva＇s ＂women＇s time＂ and Briony as a care giver nurses in the hospital, thus the novel tends to deconstruct the male-centred order and to construct a kind of ＂maternity-centered＂ care ethics, and to atone. Robbie＇s conscience is awake before his death and Briony grows to be an ethical care- giver through writing.
