摘　　要：石黑一雄的小说《克拉拉与太阳》呈现了一幅超人类与机器人相互交织的后人类生活图景。超人类乔西的日常生活,尤其是其身体疾病成为主要描写对象。小说叙述者并未在事实层面描述乔西的病痛,而着重于乔西身体疾病的隐喻意义。乔西的个体疾病不仅反映了技术对生活殖民带来的人与人异化关系的危害,更进一步折射出工具理性与资本逻辑运作下社会生产与消费问题。消费加速反过来又造成人与物关系的异化,机器人成为超人类的消费对象,并被不断更新抛弃。在批判后人类时代人与人、人与物异化问题的同时,石黑一雄在小说中通过旧物回收的方式,想象精神救赎的途径,为我们解决技术带来的人际困扰提供参考方案。Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun depicts the posthuman life of robots and the transhuman.Transhuman Josie,her daily life,and especially her physical llness constitute the major part of the novel.The narrator does not dwell on the factual details of her illness,focusing instead on the metaphorical meaning of that illness.Josie's illness reveals the harm that technical colonization of everyday life exerts on interpersonal relationships,and it reflects further problems of social production and consumption due to instrumental rationality and the logic of capital.The acceleration of consumption in turn results in alienation between people and things,and thus robots become the consumable objects of the transhuman,which are constantly updated and then abandoned.Kazuo Ishiguro criticizes such social problems in transhuman society and imagines a way of spiritual salvation by way of recycling old things,which also suggests a means of solving the interpersonal problem caused by technology.
