摘要

摘要:本文探讨当代作家石黑一雄在小说创作中的真实缺失问题。他对这个问题的态度是反资本主义的,因为他质疑以现金为导向的资本家和实业家领导的所谓科学进步。他的作品试图揭开这类科学凶残本质的面纱。他指责游戏扼杀了真实世界,创造了一个模拟世界。他批判了反乌托邦空间,认为后现代科学知识应该对生命的自然过程负责,并通过关注人类克隆、整容手术、人工智能等有争议的话题,揭露了以模拟代替真实的秘密。在分析方法上,本文主要基于对作者文学文本的仔细研究:两部小说(《别让我走》和《克拉拉与太阳》)和三部《夜曲》短篇小说(《莫尔文山》、《夜曲》和《吟唱者》)。后现代主义的概念与这些文本的分析有很大的关系,因为他的小说不能脱离其产生的后现代时代的现实来研究。同样,考虑到作者的社会种族和历史背景,他所生活的社会以及第二次世界大战之后世界的政治文化变革,在分析他的文本时发挥了重要作用。

The Loss of the Real in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun and Nocturnes
Abstract This paper addresses the issue of the loss of the real in the fiction of Kazuo Ishiguro as a contemporary author whose thought line is still in progress. His approach to this issue is anti-capitalist as he questions the so-called scientific advancement led by cash-oriented capitalists and industrialists. His writing seeks to strip the veil of the murderous nature of this kind of science. He blames it for killing the real and creating a world of simulations. He animadverts upon dystopian spaces where he holds postmodern scientific knowledge responsible for the digression of the natural course of life and lays bare the secrets behind the replacement of the real with the simulated by drawing attention to such debatable topics as human cloning, cosmetic surgeries and artificial intelligence. In terms of methodology of analysis, this paper is primarily based on a close examination of the author’s literary texts: two novels (Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun) and three short stories from Nocturnes (“Malvern Hills”, “Nocturne” and “Crooner”). Postmodernist concepts have been of great relevance to the analysis of these texts, for his fiction could not be approached in isolation from the realities of the postmodern era where it’s produced. Equally, bearing in mind the author’s socio-ethnic and historical background, the society where he lives and the politico-cultural transformations of the world aTher the Second World War plays an important role in the analysis of his texts.
