摘要

本文研究了近期两部涉及环境和大流行病灾难的小说:Severance》(2018年),作者马玲;《Under the Blue》(2022年),作者Oana Aristide。分析基于生态批评和后人文主义的视角,以及查克拉巴蒂(《行星危机与现代人的困境》)对全球两种不同理解的划分:一种是以行星为中心的全球变暖话语,另一种是以人为中心的全球化话语。这些论述的冲突在小说中得到了凸显。它们通过疾病本身,通过在没有现代医疗保健和我们习惯于购买的所有舒适生活的情况下突然需要生存,说明了人类与自然世界并不分离的认识过程。小说中的人物,或许也包括读者,逐渐认识到我们生活在一个极其复杂和相互依存的星球上。

“Until It Suddenly Isn’t”: Two Novels on Life after a Pandemic Disaster
This article investigates two recent novels that deal with environmental and pandemic disasters: Severance (2018) by Ling Ma and Under the Blue (2022) by Oana Aristide. The analysis is based on ecocritical and posthumanist perspectives and on a division made by Chakrabarty (Planetary Crises and the Difficulty of Being Modern), in two different understandings of the globe: one connected to the planetary-focused discourse on global warming and the other on human-centered globalization. The clashes of these discourses are highlighted in the novels. They illustrate a process of understanding that humans are not separate from the natural world, through the disease itself and through the sudden need to survive without modern healthcare and all the comfort we are used to being able to buy. The gradual insight of the depicted characters, and perhaps also the readers of the novels, is that we live on a planet of extreme complexity and interdependence.
