Abstract

Abstract:The wonderful subsea window of Shakespeare and George Wilkins's Pericles (III.i.55–63) allows us to witness multispecies play at play in multisensorial ways. Octopoid in nature and eco-materialist in depth and breadth, the protagonist's benthic curiosity dissolves ontological chasms between human and nonhuman while recognizing the real risks of oceanic immersion that bodies face. A truly deep ecology such as this helpfully entangles us, as readers and audience members, with waters Shakespearean as well as present day. Just as Pericles speculates upon what is happening—and will happen—in the water, his subaqueous vision invites us to deepen our own maritime imaginations.

伯里克利的深层生态学

摘要:莎士比亚和乔治·威尔金斯的《伯里克利斯》(III.i.55-63)中奇妙的海底窗口让我们看到了多物种以多感官的方式玩耍。章鱼的本质和生态唯物主义的深度和广度，主人公对底栖生物的好奇心消解了人类和非人类之间的本体论鸿沟，同时认识到身体面临的海洋浸泡的真正风险。像这样一个真正的深层生态，有助于读者和观众将我们与莎士比亚时代和当今的水纠缠在一起。正如伯里克利对水中正在发生和将要发生的事情的推测一样，他的水下视野邀请我们加深自己对海洋的想象。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
