从人文地理学视角解读《无可慰藉》中的逃避主义

An Analysis of Escapism in The Unconsoled from the Perspective of Humanistic Geography

拥有双重文化背景的石黑一雄,在其作品的书写中充满了不安与焦虑。他的作品大多透露出伤感情绪,因而从创伤文学角度研究其作品的文章很多,但由伤感引发的逃避主义思想却鲜有人讨论。逃避主义属于人类,且人类无法摆脱它,文化无根感带来的逃避主义思想在其转型作品《无可慰藉》中尤其明显。城市陷入精神危机,人人都在努力解决问题,从人地关系角度向现实抗争,可最终结果还是失败,说明人类的脆弱不仅在于肉体的痛苦,现实的残酷,还来自于逃避这种现实的无能为力。

Kazuo Ishiguro has a bicultural background, and his writing is full of unease and anxiety. Most of his works express sentiment, so there are many articles studying his works from the perspective of trauma literature, but the escapism caused by sentiment is seldom discussed. Escapism belongs to human, and human cannot get rid of it. The escapism brought by the sense of cultural rootlessness is particularly evident in his transformational work The Unconsoled. The city is in a spiritual crisis, and everyone is trying to solve this crisis—to fight against it from the relationship of man and earth, but the final result is still futile, which reveals that the vulnerability of human lies not only in the physical pain, the cruelty of reality, but also in the inability to escape from this reality.
