摘要
克里斯托弗·兰斯迈尔(Christoph Ransmayr)的小说《Der fliegende Berg》(2006)和托马斯·格拉维尼奇(Thomas Glavinic)的小说《Das grosere Wunder》(2013)面对了两种关于登山的激进观点。《Glavinic》的主角乔纳斯参加了一次商业探险,登上了世界上最高的山峰。这种备受批评的商业项目与兰斯迈尔的小说完全相反。在小说中,帕特里克和利亚姆兄弟开始了一段前往神秘山脉的个人旅程——喜马拉雅山的最后一座无人攀登的山。体育和商业上的奢侈和完全独立的冒险代表了一种实践的两个极端,其目的是产生与自然激烈的身体冲突。这两部小说通过对主人公生活在完全现代世界的描述,直面了这些冲突的可能性。通过将传记调整到相应的攀登,这些故事被呈现为个人和行星尺度之间的中介。因此,气候不仅是一种需要克服的障碍,也是一种叙事资源,它促成了人类与自然之间日益不稳定的关系。与非虚构的登山故事相比,这些故事揭示了一种气候的概念,这种概念并不局限于简单的“大气总是受天气/气候影响的概念”(弗莱明/扬科维奇2),相反,它们更新了对气候作为一个局部和身体实体的明显拒绝的看法。使用“Klima”概念由弗莱明/ Jankovic结合起来—气候nocion事实自然和文化—这篇调查metodologicos和narrativos方面升级,上层aclimatacion和蒙大拿,以便揭示这个神话演示这些climatologicos故事,除了显示其(潜在)生产和破坏性影响演讲contemporaneos Antropoceno人类和自然之间的关系。EnglishChristoph Ransmayr 2006年初期“Der fliegende Berg和托马斯Glavinic ' s”给grosere Wunder”(2013年)出版的不同想法of mountaineering confront非常。= =地理= =根据美国人口普查,这个县的总面积是,其中土地和(1.664平方公里)水。这些highly criticized commercial endeavors are in Ransmayr对比s scenario in which two兄弟,帕特里克和莱姆,embark on a journey to a mythical峰—the only Himalayan山地自行车to be summited。= =地理= =根据美国人口普查,这个县的面积为,其中土地面积为,其中土地面积为。Both novels confront the possibility of此类相遇with an account of the life of their protagonists within庭现代世界。In aligning欣赏with the ascent of the各自峰the narratives目前为as mediations人员与全球scales)。因此,气候不仅是一种需要克服的障碍,而且是一种谈判人与自然之间日益不稳定关系的叙事机制。与非虚构的登山叙述相比,这些叙述揭示了一种对气候的理解,而这种理解并没有在“对大气有天气偏见的理解”中得到详尽的阐述(Fleming/Jankovic 2);相反,它们重新唤起了对气候作为一个地方实体的明显误解。Using弗莱明/ Jankovic ' s概念Klima”—an understanding of气候which combines自然和文化的事实—this paper investigates方法and narrative aspects of扩大,acclimatization and high-altitude in order to unearth the springs underlying这些climatological这种及其供资(各种)和destructive effects on current discourses on human-nature-relationships in the Anthropocene。
Scaling High Places. Mountaineering Narratives as Climatological Tales
espanolEn las novelas “Der fliegende Berg” (2006) de Christoph Ransmayr y “Das grosere Wunder” (2013) de Thomas Glavinic, se enfrentan dos ideas radicales en torno al alpinismo. Jonas, el protagonista de Glavinic, participa en una expedicion comercial para encumbrar la cima del monte mas alto del mundo. Esta clase de proyectos comerciales tan fuertemente criticados se presenta en total oposicion a lo representado en la novela de Ransmayr, en la que los hermanos Patrick y Liam se embarcan en un viaje personal a una montana mitica – el ultimo monte del Himalaya que nadie habia logrado subir. La extravagancia deportiva y comercial y la aventura totalmente independiente representan los dos extremos de una practica que tiene como objetivo la produccion de enfrentamientos intensamente fisicos con la naturaleza. Las dos novelas confrontan la posibilidad de estos enfrentamientos con relatos de las vidas de sus protagonistas en un mundo completamente moderno. Ajustando las biografias con la subida a las montanas correspondientes, los relatos se presentan como mediaciones entre escalas personales y planetarios.
