摘要

尽管人与动物的研究是跨学科的，但关于非人类动物的科学与文学之间的相互作用的研究很少。本文探讨了亨利·威廉姆森的经典动物小说《鲑鱼》(salar the Salmon, 1935)中大西洋鲑鱼(Salmo salar)和褐鳟鱼(Salmo trutta)的表现。具体来说，分析的重点是鱼的心理状态和主观经验的描绘。这项工作提供了第一个以动物为中心的文本分析，同时也解决了鱼类在文学动物研究中的边缘化问题。更广泛的目的是确定小说影响公众认知和激发读者共鸣的方式。最终目的是改进我们在文学和科学上交流鱼类的方法。

How to Read Fishes: Science, Empathy, and Salar the Salmon

Despite the interdisciplinarity of human-animal studies, there has been little research about the interactions between science and literature in relation to nonhuman animals. This paper explores the representation of Atlantic salmons (Salmo salar) and brown trouts (Salmo trutta) in Henry Williamson’s classic work of animal fiction, Salar the Salmon (1935). In particular, the analysis focuses on depictions of mental states and subjective experiences in fishes. This work offers the first animal-centric analysis of the text, while also addressing the marginalization of fishes in literary animal studies. The wider purpose is to identify the ways in which fiction can influence public perceptions and encourage empathy in readers. The ultimate aim is to improve our methods of communicating about fishes in both literature and science.

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
