摘 要:

长篇小说《小城与不确定性的墙》,是日本村上春树文学生涯中对异质性书写的深化与总括。作品中的异质性由空间、人物、历史记忆三个维度构成,具有完整体系。小说构建了一个以系统性缺失(无影子、无书籍、无时间)为规则,以一堵拥有主体性与生命力的高墙为规训的小城空间,同时塑造了幽灵、读梦人、超能少年等一系列异质存在者。在“读梦”这一显性的个人疗愈故事下,潜藏着战争、历史以及罪责继承的隐性进程,与村上春树在自传体随笔《弃猫》中披露的家族战争记忆形成互文,共同将异质性从形式创新升华为历史认知这一对宏大异质物的直面与承载。村上文学的异质性,也因之从早期的风格化标识演变为一种处理个体与集体记忆的方法论。


Space, Characters and Historical Memory On the Heterogeneous Writing and Healing Nature of Haruki Murakami's The City and Its Uncertainty Walls
Xu Gupeng(Nanjing Medical University)
Abstract Haruki Murakami's The City and Its Uncertainty Walls marks a deepening and culmination of his lifelong literary preoccupation with the exploration of heterogeneity, a fully-fledged system constructed in the novel along three dimensions of space, characters, and historical memory. The novel depicts a small city ruled by a logic of systemic absences — the absence of shadows, books, and time — and policed by a towering wall endowed with its own subjectivity and vitality, with an array of heterogeneous beings, including ghosts, dream-readers and supernaturally gifted teenagers. Beneath the overt narrative of personal healing through "dream reading" lies an implicit reckoning with war, history and the inheritance of guilt. The work enters into intertextual dialogue with the family war memories Murakami unfolded in his autobiographical essay Abandoning A Cat, jointly elevating heterogeneity from mere formal innovation to a direct confrontation with and responsible bearing of history as a grand, weighty heterogeneous reality. The heterogeneity in Murakami's fiction thereby evolves from an early stylistic marker into a methodology for negotiating individual and collective experience.
Key words Haruki Murakami; The City and Its Uncertainty Walls; Abandoning A Cat; healing
