COMMITMENT INGRAINED IN LOSS: SUBJUGATION, DISLOCATION AND TRAUMA THE NOVELS OF KAZUO ISHIGURO

Commitment Ingrained in Loss: Subjugation, Dislocation and Trauma in the Novels of Kazuo Ishiguro offers a profound exploration of memory, trauma, identity, and displacement in Ishiguro's fiction. Through close readings of A Pale View of Hills, An Artist of the Floating World, The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, The Buried Giant, When We Were Orphans, and The Unconsoled, this study reveals how unreliable narrators, fractured recollections, and silences expose the ethical ambiguities of history and selfhood. Drawing on psychoanalysis, trauma theory, postcolonial critique, and feminist thought, it examines how Ishiguro's restrained voices grapple with grief, repression, and estrangement. Positioning him as a novelist of quiet radicalism, the book affirms that remembering-however painful-is essential to confronting complicity, sustaining identity, and imagining reconciliation in a world scarred by loss.
