摘要

摘要:从《献给未知的上帝》(1933)到《珍珠》(1947)，本文探讨了斯坦贝克的生物政治想象，这在今天是一个紧迫的问题，因为它涉及到我们的生物自我与我们的政治气候之间的关系，传染与人类社区之间的关系。它还涉及有关未来的关键问题。作为一个物种，我们将走向何方?我们面临着什么样的变化，我们如何看待灭绝，我们有什么理由抱有脆弱的希望?换句话说，这篇文章是关于为什么以及如何在大流行中阅读斯坦贝克。

Steinbeck in a Pandemic

Abstract:Ranging from To a God Unknown (1933) to The Pearl (1947), this essay explores Steinbeck’s biopolitical imagination, which is of pressing concern today because it involves the relationship between our biological selves and our political climate, between contagion and human community. It also involves crucial questions about the future. Where are we heading, as a species? What changes do we face, how do we contemplate extinction, and what grounds are there for a fragile sense of hope? In other words, this essay is about why and how to read Steinbeck in a pandemic.

期刊介绍： Steinbeck Review is an authorized publication on the life and works of American novelist John Steinbeck (1902–1968). It publishes scholarly articles; notes; book and performance reviews; creative writing; original artwork; and short intercalary pieces offering fresh perspectives, including notes on contemporary references to Steinbeck, discussions of the contexts of his work, and an occasional poem. Steinbeck Review has a threefold mission of broadening the scope of Steinbeck criticism, promoting the work of new and established scholars, and serving as a resource for Steinbeck teachers at all levels.
