石黑一雄早期作品的日本图景建构

The construction of Japanese picture in Kazuo Ishiguro's early works

2017年,日裔英国小说家石黑一雄荣获诺贝尔文学奖,这使得他的作品再度在全世界掀起阅读潮流。石黑一雄独特的双重文化身份使得他的作品超越国界,表达了人类个体在文明进程中的艰难境遇与生存困境,他早期的两部以日本为创作背景的小说《远山淡影》和《浮世画家》则是这种创作风格的雏形。这两部作品不同于日本本土作家笔下的日本图景塑造,体现了作家的日本记忆与英国文化的融合下形成的价值观念与文化立场,对于理解其独特的文化身份与作品主题具有重要意义。

In 2017,Japanese-British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize in Literature,making his works spark a reading flurry all over the world.His unique dual cultural identity makes his works transcend national boundaries and express the difficult situation and survival dilemma of human beings in the process of civilization.Two of his early novels,A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World,which are set in Japan,are the prototypes of this writing style.Through shaping the picture of Japan,which is different from that described by native Japanese writers,these two works reflect the values and cultural standpoints formed by the integration of his Japanese memory and British culture.Thus,these two works is of great significance for understanding his unique dual cultural identity and the theme of his works.
