摘要
在二十一世纪,环境问题和气候变化已成为主流话语,而生态女性主义可以在其中发挥变革项目的作用。乌尔苏拉-勒奎恩(Ursula K. Le Guin)在《黑暗的左手》(1969 年)中所写的科幻小说具有颠覆性和远见卓识,它关注性别和自然,以想象力为读者扫清了道路,构想出资本主义现代性世界的替代方案。为了解决女性的非人化和自然世界的退化问题,勒奎恩在强调 "人类世 "对其自身世界的影响的同时,通过她的叙事世界解构并重新思考了二元对立结构,这种结构助长了压迫、统治和男性统治的重新整合。在本文中,我们将《黑暗的左手》视为一个虚构的论坛,让观众有机会在我们今天所面临的前所未有的生态危机的背景下,重新诠释和反思他们与自然的关系。我们对这部小说的生态女性主义解读突出了勒奎恩对非人类 "他者 "固有的推测性叙事世界的处理,并揭示了我们对当前被称为 "人类世 "的地质时代的焦虑。
UN-LEARNING THE ANTHROPOCENE: AN ECOFEMINIST READING OF URSULA K. LE GUIN’S THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS
In the twenty-first century, environmental issues and climate change
have found their way into mainstream discourse, wherein ecofeminism can act
as a transformative project. The subversive and visionary science fiction of
Ursula K. Le Guin, in The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), with its focus on gender
and nature, has imaginatively cleared the road for the reader to conceive an
alternative to the world of capitalist modernity, a world that has led to the
subjugation of women and nature not only for those experiencing modernity
within the so-called West, but also for those—the Rest of us—at the periphery
of this fragile world order. In order to tackle the dehumanization of women and
the degradation of the natural world, Le Guin, while highlighting the impacts of
the Anthropocene in her own world, deconstructs and rethinks the dualistic
hierarchies, through her narrative world, which contribute to oppression,
domination, and the reification of male dominance. In this article, we approach
The Left Hand of Darkness as a fictional forum whereby the audience is given
the chance to reinterpret and reflect on their relationship with nature against the
backdrop of the unprecedented ecological crises we face today. Our ecofeminist
reading of the novel foregrounds Le Guin’s treatment of the nonhuman Other in
her speculative narrative world, and sheds light on our angst about the current
geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.
