摘要
本雅明在《机械复制时代的艺术》中提出的"灵韵"这一概念对理解石黑一雄的科幻小说《克拉拉与太阳》所展现的技术、后人类身体及主体性具有重要启发.本雅明身处大规模机械复制的时代,在其中他意识到艺术品的本真性被复制所侵蚀;石黑一雄所想象的也正是一个新的复制时代,即人类的复制成为可能的后人类未来.由此观之,石黑一雄探讨的已不仅是人类是否可以被机器替换的问题,更是人类是否可以被自身的复制所取代.通过克拉拉对于如何成为人的哲思,小说指出人的"灵韵"不全然来自其自身,更在于人类相互观看和理解的方式.此外,小说也触及了大规模复制带来的异化和废弃物危机.
Abstract
The concept of"aura"proposed in Walter Benjamin's book The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction provides significant insights into the technology,posthuman bodies and subjectivity shown in Kazuo Ishiguro's science fiction novel Klara and the Sun.Benjamin lived in an era of large-scale mechanical reproduction,in which he realized that the authenticity of artworks had been eroded.Similarly,what Kazuo Ishiguro imagined in this fiction is also a new era in which human reproduction is possible.Therefore,he explores not only whether human beings can be replaced by machines,but also whether humans can be replaced by copies of themselves.Through Klara's philosophical thinking,this novel points out that the"aura"of human beings is not entirely from oneself,but more in the way humans look at each other.In addition,this novel also indicates the crisis of alienation and waste from large-scale reproduction.
