摘要
在生态文学研究蓬勃发展的良好环境下,笔者以阿伦·奈斯深层生态学的文化价值观为出发点,对美国作家舍伍德·安德森《小城畸人》中的"胡髭老人"群像进行解读,以探讨在工业社会快速发展进程中日益被边缘化了的"老年群体"如何对标深层生态学的最高准则"自我实现",完善个体生命的内在价值。以深层生态学的文化价值观判断,生态危机的实质是人类价值观的迷失,是人性的危机。从生态整体主义意义上来探讨,拯救生态危机的重中之重是救赎人性的危机。小说中的群体人物遭受了美国20世纪20年代的工业革命的冲击,变成了作家笔下的"畸人",其实质是人类遭遇的内在心理危机、是精神生态的危机。本文指出应该以深层生态学的文化价值观为指导,从根本上转变人物群体的思想意识、提升他们的道德观念,从而使他们的自我价值得到更高层次的扩展,变"小我"为"生态自我",成为更大的生态整体的一部分。
Under the favorable environment of ecological literature flourish in the new century, taking Arne Naess’ cultural values of deep ecology as the starting point, the author interprets the characters in Sherwoods Winesburg,Ohio,"mustached old men", to pursue how the elderly groups, increasingly marginalized in the process of the rapid development of industrial society, should improve the intrinsic value of individual life in accordance with the highest standards of deep ecology. Judged from the cultural values of deep ecology, the essence of ecological crisis is the loss of human values and the crisis of human nature.Considering from the ecological holism, the most important thing for the solution to ecological crisis is the redemption of humanity. Devastated by the industrial revolution of USA in 1920 s, the group of characters in the works descended into"grotesques", suffering from an internal psychological crisis of humanity distortion.The paper proposed that the"mustached old men"should be guided by the cultural values of deep ecology,fundamentally change their mentaligy, improve their moral awareness, so as to realize self-fulfilment at a higher level, change"ego"into"ecological self", and thus be integrated into the whole ecology.
