摘要

摘要:通过暂时将人们的注意力从文学作品中非人类动物的表现上转移开，批判性动物研究可以学到什么?石黑一雄的《别让我走》和菲利普·k·迪克的《机器人会梦见电子羊吗?》让读者体验工程或人造非人类生物的希望。这些小说没有假定知道不可知的事物，也没有让动物说话，而是通过使表面上人类的希望概念民主化，开辟了非人类和人类动物之间同情的新途径，同时使人们更难接受在人类中心主义的资本主义下非人类动物的工具化，从而有助于进一步推动动物解放的话语。

Nonhuman Animals and Hope: Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

Abstract:What can critical animal studies learn by temporarily directing attention away from representations of nonhuman animals in literature? Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? allow readers to experience the hopes of engineered or artificial nonhuman creatures. Without presuming to know the unknowable or to make the animal speak, these novels help to further animal liberation discourses by democratizing the ostensibly human concept of hope, opening new paths of empathy between nonhuman and human animals while making it harder to accept the instrumentalization of nonhuman animals under anthropocentric capitalism.
