Material Ecocriticism: The Material Turn in Ecocriticism

导出

摘要作为生态批评的第四波浪潮,物质生态批评主要从新物质主义与生态后现代主义中汲取营养建构理论,从而构成了生态批评的物质转向。其观点主要表现在三个方面:物质及其施事能力、物质与意义、物质与叙事。肯定人类与非人类自然物质的施事能力有利于颠覆西方思想中人类优越于自然的传统理念;建构物质与意义的桥梁展示了语言与现实的紧密联系,反驳了后现代主义与后结构主义中社会话语主导一切的观点;认同物质的叙事能力肯定了人类与非人类自然物质通过内在互动生成故事的能力,从而否定了传统思想中叙事能力为人类专利的论断。 As the fourth wave of ecocriticism, the material turn or material ecocriticism mainly derives its theories from new materialism and ecological postmodernism. Its theoretical assumptions are illustrated mainly from three aspects： matter and its agency, matter and meaning, and matter and narrative. Acknowledging the pervasive agency in human and nonhuman matter can disrupt traditional Western notions of human superiority. Bridging the gap between matter and meaning unsettles the postmodernist and poststructuralist view that reality is only accessible through social discourses. Identifying the narrative agency of matter takes matter as texts resulting from the intra-action between human and nonhuman nature, which undermines the traditional assertion about human beings as the only narrative agents.
