摘要
日裔英籍作家石黑一雄的早期小说《远山淡影》和《浮世画家》均以第二次世界大战后战败的日本为背景。石黑一雄对战后日本的想象凸显了以下两个方面:一是战后日本社会的创伤和重建,二是战败与美军占领所带来的日本社会中的价值观冲突,即日本传统价值观被质疑甚至摧毁,自由、民主等信念日占上风。石黑一雄的日本想象,源于其个人体验,尤其是他对创伤的认识,对传统的质疑,强烈的理想主义精神和对未来的焦虑,并因此指向与他同时代的人和世界。
The Japanese-born English writer Kazuo Ishiguro's two early novels A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World are all set in the defeated Japan in the wake of WWII. Kazuo Ishiguro's imagination of Japan is very prominent in the following two aspects: a postwar Japanese society racked with grief but already under reconstruction, and the great conflicts of values in that society, with the traditional values questioned and the new values of freedom and democracy getting the upper hand. Such imagination, is mainly the result of the writer's personal experience, including his deep understanding of trauma, questioning of tradition, strong idealistic passion, and anxiety about the future.
