摘要

摘要:作为中国当代科幻小说最具代表性的作家之一,郝景芳以其融合了乌托邦与反乌托邦特征的世界建构而著称,尤其是在《流浪汉》中。根据勒金的《被抛弃者》中经典的乌托邦辩证法,郝景芳还建立了两个对立的世界:一个是欢迎市场竞争和个人主义资本追求的自由主义地球,另一个是建立在稀缺基础上并在提供社会福利和保护的中央档案系统监督下的平等主义火星共和国。然而,这两个社会都不够“完美”,不足以被称为真正的乌托邦。两个社会的人都把另一个世界看作是对自己世界的否定,尽管这再次将他们困在一个无休止的“从否定到否定”的循环中,《流浪汉》提供了一种辩证范式,用来质疑中国自20世纪90年代以来的后社会主义转型,同时唤起了对中国后社会主义替代方案的乌托邦式希望。

A Nostalgic Return to the Future: The Utopian Dialectic in Hao Jingfang's Vagabonds
abstract:As one of the most representative writers of contemporary Chinese science fiction, Hao Jingfang is well known for her world-building that blends the characteristics of both utopia and dystopia, especially in Vagabonds. In line with the classic utopian dialectic in Le Guin's The Dispossessed, Hao Jingfang has also set up two opposing worlds: the libertarian Earth that welcomes market competition and individualistic pursuit for capital and the egalitarian Martian Republic built upon scarcity and under the supervision of a central archive system that provides social welfare and protection. However, neither of the two societies is "perfect" enough to be called a true utopia. People in both societies see the other world as the negation of their own, though this, again, simply traps them in an unending cycle of "negating to negation." Through such a process of negative hermeneutics, Vagabonds provides a dialectical paradigm with which to interrogate China's postsocialist transition since the 1990s while invoking a utopian hope for a post-postsocialist alternative for China.
