摘要
《别让我走》是2017年诺贝尔文学奖获得者石黑一雄的一部反乌托邦小说,也是为数不多的通过模拟克隆人视角,从非暴力伦理角度探讨生命的脆弱性和承认框架的文学作品。这部小说利用科幻题材,使读者直面社会中规范的暴力和承认策略。本文通过朱迪斯·巴特勒的操演性和承认理论,论证了克隆人身份是一种“操演”,而非本质“拥有”的属性,并分析了克隆人是如何将身体操演当作一种寻求承认的策略,展示了具有国际意识的作家如何通过文学想象与虚构来发掘普世性主题,让“无效生命”发声,令所有地方和时代的读者在非暴力的伦理中重新思考存在问题。
Never Let Me Go is a dystopian novel by Kazuo Ishiguro,the Nobel Prize winner in 2017.It is also one of the few literary works of human cloning that deals with the vulnerability of life and frames of recognition through a non-violent ethical perspective.Integrating science fiction themes,the novel allows readers to face the normative violence and recognition strategies in society.Supported by Judith Butler’s theories of performativity and recognition,this article argues that the identity of the clones is“performed”rather than“born”.In so doing,the article analyzes how the clones use body performativity as a strategy of seeking recognition.Simultaneously,it shows how a writer with international consciousness explores universal themes through literary imagination and fiction,giving voices to“unlivable lives,”and making readers of all places and eras to rethink the existing problems in the non-violent ethics.
