Abstract

In this article, I aim to contribute to the discussion on the convergence between affect studies and ecocriticism, especially in its new materialist strands, by focusing on their applicability to the study of poetry. Drawing on Jane Bennett, I set out to explore the potential of poetry to imagine and attend to the worlds beyond the anthropocentric, as well as to engender attentiveness to the nonhuman as theorized in new materialisms. I contend that Bennett’s theorization of affect, vibrant matter, and her model of influx-and-efflux, can be fruitfully thought of in connection to what writer and scholar Julia Fiedorczuk conceptualizes as ecopoetics. In particular, and addressing Fiedorczuk’s ecocriticism and poetic practice, this paper will understand ecopoetics as a means of inducing “an aesthetic-affective openness to material vitality” (Bennett, 2010: x), and it will raise questions about how to write an I in a world of vibrant matter.
论情感与生态学
在这篇文章中,我的目的是通过关注情感研究和生态批评在诗歌研究中的适用性,来促进对情感研究与生态批评之间趋同的讨论,特别是在其新的唯物主义方面。以简·贝内特为原型,我开始探索诗歌的潜力,去想象和关注以人类为中心的世界,以及产生对新物质主义理论中的非人类的关注。我认为,贝内特对情感、充满活力的物质的理论化,以及她的流入和流出模式,可以与作家和学者朱莉娅·费多尔丘克将其概念化为生态诗学联系起来,进行富有成效的思考。特别是,针对费多尔丘克的生态批评和诗歌实践,本文将把生态诗学理解为一种诱导“对物质活力的审美情感开放”的手段(Bennett,2010:x),并将提出如何在充满活力的物质世界中写一个我的问题。

期刊介绍: CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION (CLR) is a biannual scholarly publication devoted to the field of Culture and Linguistics Studies, whose scope is aimed at the international academic community. Alternatively, each issue deals either monographically with a relevant aspect of the linguistic representation of culture in its various manifestations (social, political, educational, literary, historical, etc.) or encourages interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to language and culture research. The Journal is committed to academic and research excellence by publishing relevant and original material that meets high scientific standards. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Articles will undergo an independent evaluation by two external referees, who will advise the Editors on the suitability of their publication. Publishing elsewhere an article included in CLR needs the author''s acknowledgement that it has first appeared in the Journal. If in doubt, authors are advised to contact The Editors.
