人生之帆,由谁掌舵?--论石黑一雄《小夜曲》

On Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nocturnes:Five Stories of Music and Nightfall

石黑一雄的作品体现了人性及人类生存困境的超越性思考,短篇小说《小夜曲》是最具代表性的作品之一。作者站在全人类共同价值观的高度,通过焦点人物史蒂夫的整容经历,检视个人独立意识同群体意识下的当代社会机制悖论,揭示了现代社会人们传统伦理、信仰沦陷的问题。即在以群体意识为基础建立的社会机制下的人类,在实现"自我"理想的过程中,付出情感和道德的高昂代价的同时,也面临着主体视角是否能够超越现实社会机制,寻找自我独立意识的巨大挑战。
