人类命运共同体建构:《人类灭绝》的叙事伦理

Narrative Ethics in Constructing a Human Community of Shared Future: On Takano Kazuaki’s Genocide

当代日本著名作家高野和明酝酿十年之久的超级科幻巨作《人类灭绝》,营构了不同文明视域下、相似性伦理环境下人类主体的伦理诉求。本文运用叙事学和文学伦理学相结合的方法,考察新人类与现代人类的伦理选择、伦理现场中逐渐被淡忘的历史记忆以及伦理秩序建构的过程,揭示人类命运共同体宏大叙事建构中体现出的叙事伦理多元化倾向。高野借用乌托邦式文明的形塑,批判了现代人类的悖德意识,以还原历史真相的手法凸显出反战的伦理立场。"新人类"的人性之善,与人类命运共同体的建构互为表征,共同勾勒出人类的一体性中熠熠生辉的人性光芒,作品的道德指引和道德教诲价值得到良好诠释。
