摘要
20世纪初科学哲学领域的"语言学转向"使得科学的文化历史属性受到越来越多的关注,科学被视为不断重构的叙事。本文梳理了上世纪80年代以来随着当代科学哲学的发展,在文化批评领域里出现的重新阐释达尔文主义的热潮及当代达尔文小说的兴起,并比较了达尔文思想在维多利亚小说与当代小说中的不同表现形式。本文重点分析了英国当代女作家A.S.拜厄特在其创作的新维多利亚小说《尤金尼亚蝴蝶》中如何从当代视角重构了一个19世纪达尔文主义科学家精神成长的心路历程,从而与达尔文主义展开了一场跨越时空的对话。
Recent years have witnessed a revival of interest in Darwinism in post-modern historical imagination. Considerable research has been devoted to the reassessment of Darwinian ideas and their implications and impacts from different perspectives and with different theoretical approaches. This paper first gives a brief survey of the new surge of Darwinian novels in postmodern historical writing and moves on to a comparative analysis of the different insights and narratives Darwinism generated in Victorian period and the postmodern era respectively. The analysis focuses on Byatt's 1992 novella Morpho Eugenia, in which she creates a young Darwinist William Adamson, who is transformed from a detached observer to a self-asserting humanist. In a sense, Byatt has transformed a Darwinian story into a Bildungsroman.
