“人类世”视野下西方生态批评的拓展

"人类世"这一概念自21世纪初被提出以来,在西方诸多领域引起了广泛关注和热议,包括将环境、自然作为主要关注对象的生态批评。这一概念迫使研究西方生态批评的学者迅速做出反应,在反思人类对地球的地质影响之时,将学术研究的范围在时间和空间两个维度上延展:从作为研究主体的人到作为研究客体的环境,再到研究具体内容和方法,都在这个新概念的启发和推动下不断得到深化和拓展,包括建立地球意识、推动灾难故事和慢性暴力叙事等。

The Expansion of Western Ecocriticism from the Perspective of "Anthropocene"

Since proposed at the beginning of the 21 st century,the concept of"anthropocene"has been attracting wide attention and heated discussions in western academic fields,including ecocriticism that focuses on the perspective of environment and nature.Western ecocritical scholars respond quickly to the concept of"anthropocene",reflecting on the geological impact of human beings,and trying to extend the scope of academic research in mainly two dimensions:time and space,specifically humans as the subject,environment as the object,and contents and approaches of research,which may continuously deepen and expand its academic horizon under the inspiration and urge of this new concept:the cultivation of sense of planet,telling of disastrous stories and the discourse of slow violence.
