【摘要】 《克拉拉与太阳》是一部以近未来为创作背景,以人工机器人克拉拉为第一叙述视角的科幻小说。虽然披着科幻小说的外衣,但其本质仍紧贴石黑一雄一贯的创作主题——爱与人心。小说讲述了人工机器人克拉拉向太阳祈求拯救小主人乔西的故事。学界多选择克拉拉视角对此作品进行研究,较少探究“太阳”这一重要因素在小说中存在的价值和意义。因此本文选取“太阳”作为研究对象,分析其在小说中不同层次的意象,探究其在小说中存在的价值,揭示小说中隐藏的文化及社会内涵。本文从“太阳”入手,以文本细读法为依托,结合意象理论对《克拉拉与太阳》中的“太阳”进行研究。本文将小说《克拉拉与太阳》中“太阳”意象进行分类,从自然意象、权力意象和救赎意象三个方面探寻“太阳”与小说中不同人物,事物之间的联系,进而发现“太阳”所代表的不同层次的意象所产生的重要影响。“太阳”的自然意象明确了自然与“生命”之间的关系;见证并参与小说中许多经典的场景;反映不同人物的内心情感。“太阳”的权力意象,印证了人类与科技之间的关系;对阶级转换的荒诞行为进行讽刺;展示自然与人类社会的关系。“太阳”的救赎意象,凸显“太阳”作为小说中人物的精神寄托,帮助克拉拉实现自我救赎;成全乔西母亲与里克母亲对于孩子的“爱”,实现她们的心灵救赎;指引乔西和里克走出孤独与困境,是他们的精神救赎。“太阳”不同层次的意象反映出小说中人物的感受与体验,同时为《克拉拉与太阳》的研究带来了新的视角。本文运用意象理论对《克拉拉与太阳》中“太阳”进行探究,揭示小说中“太阳”存在的意义以及小说中的文化与社会内涵,引发读者从不同角度深入了解作者对于“人心”、“爱”与“孤独”的主题书写,进一步思考作家石黑一雄通过对“太阳”的撰写,展示自然对于科技以及人类社会发展所带来的社会意义与价值。更多还原

【Abstract】 Klara and the Sun is a science fiction set in the near future,with the artificial robot Klara as the first narrative point of view.Although it has the appearance of a science fiction,its essence is still close to Kazuo Ishiguro’s usual theme of love and human heart.The novel tells the story of Klara,an artificial robot,who prays to the “Sun” to save her young master Josie.Scholars mostly choose Klara’s perspective to study this work,and rarely explore the value and significance of the important factor of the “Sun”.Therefore,this thesis intends to select the “Sun” as the research object,analyze its imagery at different levels in the novel,explore its value and reveal the hidden cultural and social connotations in the novel.This thesis starts from the “Sun”,relies on the close reading method combined with imagery theory to study the “Sun” in Klara and the Sun.This thesis classifies the“Sun” imagery in the novel Klara and the Sun,explores the connection between the“Sun” and different characters and things in the novel from three aspects: nature imagery,power imagery and salvation imagery,and then discovers the important influences of different levels of imagery represented by the “Sun”.The nature imagery of the “Sun” clarifies the relationship between nature and “life”.It witnesses and participates in many classic scenes in the novel and reflects the inner feelings of different characters.The power imagery of the “Sun” confirms the relationship between human beings and technology and satirizes the absurdity of class conversion.It also shows the relationship between nature and human society.The salvation imagery of the“Sun” highlights the “Sun” as a spiritual support for the characters in the novel,helping Klara to achieve self-salvation.It also helps Josie’s mother and Rick’s mother to realize their spiritual salvation by fulfilling their love for their children.It is their soul salvation by guiding Josie and Rick out of their loneliness and difficulties.The different levels of the “Sun” imagery reflect the feelings and experiences of different characters in the novel,and at the same time bring a new perspective to the study of Klara and the Sun.This thesis uses imagery theory to explore the “Sun” in Klara and the Sun,reveals the meaning of the existence of the “Sun” and the cultural and social connotations in the novel,prompts readers to deeply understand the author’s writing on the themes of“human heart”,“love” and “loneliness” from different angles,and further thinks about the writer Kazuo Ishiguro’s writing of the “Sun” to show the social significance and value of nature to the development of technology and human society.更多还原
