摘要

在 "后人类生态学 "中,基于人类与 "他者 "二元划分的人类中心主义被解构,承认人类本质上被自然世界错综复杂的网络所缠绕。在这样的生态中,人类世界与超人类(非人类)世界之间的界限变得疏松,在人类世界与非人类世界积极互动的框架内创造出流动的身份和存在条件。民间故事的生态充满了后人文主义,因为它们的叙事始终打破人类世界、非人类世界、精神世界和/或超自然世界之间不可逾越的鸿沟,呈现出某些非自然主义的本体论,而这些本体论大多与自然主义或现代实证科学相悖。这些故事为人类世时代的可持续发展提供了亟需的模板。本文试图将伊斯特琳-基尔的《当河流沉睡时》(2014 年)作为一部后人文主义叙事作品来研究。在这部作品中,维莉(一名猎人)踏上了一段奇幻之旅,从 "沉睡的河流 "底部寻找传说中的魔法石。维利的旅程是世俗和奇幻元素的乐园。他在与非人类和超自然世界的交往中成长,遇到了深刻的形而上学问题,并找到了理解平衡与超越的钥匙。

Ecology of the ‘Other’: A Posthumanist Study of Easterine Kire’s When the River Sleeps (2014)
In Posthuman Ecology, anthropocentrism, based on the binary division between the privileged human and the ‘other’, gets deconstructed, leading to an acknowledgment of humans as essentially tangled in an intricate web of the natural world. In such ecologies, boundaries between the human and the more-than-human (non-human) worlds become porous, creating fluid identities and conditions of being within a framework of active interplay between the human and the non-human world. The ecology of folktales is replete with Posthumanism, as their narratives consistently break the unbridgeable gap between the human, non-human, and the spiritual and/or supernatural worlds and present certain non-naturalist ontologies that are mostly at odds with naturalism or modern empirical science. Such tales provided much-needed templates for sustainable development in the time of the Anthropocene. This paper attempts to study Easterine Kire’s When the River Sleeps (2014) as a posthumanist narrative where Vilie (a hunter) goes on a fantastical journey to find a fabled magical stone from the bottom of the ‘sleeping river’. Vilie’s journey comes out as a playground for both mundane and fantastic elements. He grows as a human being, and this happens as he transacts with the non-human and the supernatural world and comes across deep metaphysical questions and presents keys to understanding balance-in-transcendence.
