摘要: 本文旨在分析刘慈欣《三体》何以能够在科幻全球化时代以一已之力将中国科幻文学提升到世界水平这一“奇异性事件”。借用詹明信在《奇异性美学》中使用的“singularity ”概念,本文认为,《三体》的科学想象力是从“奇点”这一科学边界开始的,并展开了“奇点奇观”的科学想象。《三体》超越本质主义的身份政治,展开了对“后人类”的内在多样性的思考,并建立了黑暗森林原则的宇宙社会学,从而为“独异性政治”分析提供了可能。《三体》的“奇异性美学”在于建构了《三体》的“多维时间”观念体系,并选择了不同的时间叙述方式。

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the singularity event of why Liu Cixin's Three-body Problem can single-handedly upgrade Chinese science fiction literature to the world prominence in the era of science fiction globalization. The paper argues that the scientific imagination in The Three-body Problem starts at the scientific frontier of "singularity" and expands on the spectacle of singularity. In The Three-body Problem, the essentialism of identity politics is transcended, which allows for the conceptualization of internal diversity of the post-human and the establishment of a cosmetic sociology on the principle of the dark forest. Therefore, it is possible for an analysis of singularity politics of the novel. The aesthetics of singularity in the novel shows in its construction of a concept system of multi-dimensional time and in its choice of different narratives based on that time.

Key words: Liu Cixin, The Three-body Problem, singularity, science fiction literature
