流动性与创伤疗愈:石黑一雄早期小说研究

Mobility and Trauma Healing:A Study of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Early Novels

石黑一雄早期小说《远山淡影》和《浮世画家》呈现了流动性与创伤疗愈的复杂关系。创伤疗愈的关键在于受创者能否重建与自我、他人和社会的联系。小说中的受创者悦子和小野总是试图通过移民、旅行、访友、散步等流动性具身实践摆脱创伤阴影,拉开与原有生活空间的距离,恢复自我控制力,建立安全环境,转化创伤记忆,重建联系感。流动性实践虽给受创者带来重建联系感的机会,但如不能充分发挥多种流动性的功能,受创者不仅不能疗愈创伤,而且可能遭遇新的创伤。

The complex relationship between mobility and trauma healing is explored in Kazuo Ishiguro’s early novels,A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World.The key to trauma healing for a traumatic subject is to rebuild his or her connection with self,others,and society.The characters who suffer from traumas in these two novels always try to break free from the shadow of their traumas through embodied mobilities such as immigration,travel,visiting friends,and walking,to distance themselves from their original living space,restore self-control,establish a safe environment,transform traumatic memories,and rebuild their sense of connection.Although mobility practices provide opportunities for traumatic subjects to regain their sense of connection,they cannot finish trauma healing or will even encounter new traumas if they are unable to fully make use of the functions of various mobilities.
