石黑一雄《别让我走》中的创伤美学

Kazuo Ishiguro’s Traumatic Aesthetics in Never Let Me Go

当代著名日裔英国作家石黑一雄非常关注人类的创伤体验和悲剧性命运。《别让我走》是他创作的一部具有科幻色彩的小说,具有深刻的现实意义。作者凭超凡的想象描绘了生活在现代社会的克隆人群体,面对生命和责任时表现出的复杂情感。克隆人的生活经历映照着当今人类的生存境况,揭示了科技给人类带来的危机感和焦虑感。石黑一雄借助于新奴隶叙事、空白叙事以及“旁观者效应”,细致地剖析克隆人遭受的无形的、无言的和无助的精神创伤,充分展示了一种融创伤、悲壮和审美为一体的创伤美学。

As a famous novelist in contemporary Britain,Kazuo Ishiguro shows much concern for the traumatic experience and tragic fate of humans.Never Let Me Go,a science fiction with a deep realistic significance,in which Kazuo Ishiguro has depicted imaginatively the complex emotions expressed by the cloned community living in the modern society when they are faced with life and responsibility.Their life experiences,as a mirror reflecting human survivals in today’s world,reveal the crisis and anxiety caused by science and technology.Drawing upon neo-slave narrative,blank narrative and“bystander effect”,Ishiguro thoroughly demonstrates the traumatic aesthetics integrating trauma,solemnity and aesthetic with his detailed analysis of the invisible,unspeakable and helpless spiritual trauma suffered by the clones.
