范式空白:《莫失莫忘》的否定之维

Paradigm Blank:the Negative Dimension of Never Let Me Go

日裔英籍作家石黑一雄于2005年发表《莫失莫忘》,虚构了克隆人群体作为器官捐献者被人类创造出来并最终悲惨死亡的结局,引发人们对克隆技术及克隆人等的深层反思。在文本阅读过程中,读者原有的关于“人”的规范和标准遭到实质性的否定,在范式维度上产生了美学欣赏的空白。在《莫失莫忘》文本内容上,主要体现为对传统母亲角色的否定,对基督教义下生命价值的否定及对人的属性的否定。

Kazuo Ishiguro,a Japanese British writer,published Never Let Me Go in 2005.In the novel,he fictionalized the story that a group of cloned people were created as human-organ donors and ultimately died in a miserable way,which triggered readers'reflection on cloning technology and human cloning.In the process of reading the novel,readers'original norms and standards about"human being"were substantially negated,resulting in a blank aesthetic appreciation in the dimension of paradigm.As far as the content of the novel is concerned,it is mainly reflected in the negation of the traditional role of mothers,the value of life under the doctrine of Christianity and the attributes of human beings.
