摘要

本文从简·班尼特的活力物质理论和卡斯特罗自己关于物体地位的观点出发,考察了布莱恩·卡斯特罗小说《花园之书》中的非人类行动者,包括自然、人体和人类人工制品。卡斯特罗在这部小说中颠覆了生命与物质的二元对立,对物质力量给予了关注和尊重,对物体也给予了情感和同理心,从而削弱了人类中心主义。在大流行病时代,人类和非人类被视为比以往任何时候都更加相互关联,这种赋权和理解不仅意义重大,而且对于建立一个和谐的社区也是必要的。

The Agency of Matter in Brian Castro’s The Garden Book
This paper examines the non-human actants in Brian Castro’s novel The Garden Book, including nature, the human body, and human artifacts in light of Jane Bennett’s theory of vibrant matter and Castro’s own arguments about the status of objects. Castro subverts the life-matter binary in this novel, giving attentiveness and respect to material powers, as well as affect and empathy to objects, thus undermining anthropocentrism. In a pandemic era in which humans and non-humans are seen as more interconnected than ever, such empowerment and understanding are not only significant, but also necessary to build a harmonized community.
