备注

石黑一雄的《浮世画家》涉及杉村明别墅、毛利别墅、酒馆等多个建筑空间,这些空间承载着主人公小野的身份转换、职业追求和人生选择,作者描述了这些空间在战时和战后的变化,也完成了对日本这个战时帝国形象从建构到解构的过程。挖掘文中小野的身份地位与生活环境的变化及其职业路径与空间转移背后的隐喻意义,探讨战争给人造成的精神困境,能够帮助我们更加深刻地理解作品主旨意蕴和作家的创作立场。

Ishiguro's novel An Artist of the Floating World involves a number of architectural spaces such as Sugimura Villa, Maori Villa, and Tavern. These spaces carry the identity conversion, the career pursuit and the life choice of the protagonist Ono. The author describes the changes of these spaces in wartime and post-war era, which shows the process of the wartime imperial image of Japan from construction to deconstruction. The paper thinks it essential to excavate the change of Ono's status and living environment in the text, interpret the metaphorical meaning behind her career path and the space shifting, and explore the spiritual dilemma caused by war, for it would be helpful for us to understand more deeply the meaning of the novel and the writer's creative position,
