生态伦理危机下的城市移民“嘉莉妹妹”

Sister Carrie: A City Immigrant in Crisis of Ecological Ethics

以男性为主体的现代城市的迅速膨胀和城市工业文明的迅猛发展与生活在其中的女性的异化是同步发展的,物质商品化、精神真空化和生存疏离化的城市生态环境使许多“嘉丽妹妹”从淳朴的乡下女蜕变为城市中待价而沽的商品,成为道德空白和灵魂迷失的“空心人”,从而使得人们对物质文明的价值意义产生了疑问,对精神文明的指归发出了质疑。在物质财富空前繁盛和男性话语仍处强势的当下,人类实现精神救赎和取得和谐的路径之一就是重新审视城市化进程中的精神生态和女性伦理,这是《嘉丽妹妹》在当下阅读的一个重要启示。

Cities and industrial city civilization dominated by men, deterioration of natural environment, worship of money and commodity and oppression of women go hand in glove. The city environment, which is permeated with an atmosphere of ceaseless commercialization, spiritual vacuum and belief crisis, reduced Sister Carrie from an innocent city immigrant to a commodity. in today＇ s world that is still dominated by men and characterized by unprecedented material production, the importance of ecological ethics should be reevaluated and resurrected as a spiritual redemption for human beings＇ returning to nature and ethic.
