文学与自然的对话:自然文学与环境文学的异同

Differences between Nature Literature and Environmental Literature

有学者研究认为,生态文学批评的引介和研究在我国已经超过三十年,但我们发现在列举的有关生态批评的十大索引论文中,很少有对"自然写作"、"自然文学"、"环境文学"和"生态文学"等基本术语的区分,而且多数研究者在使用这些术语时也并没有考虑它们之间的区别。本文试图对"自然文学"和"环境文学"做出区分,指出它们在主题思想、写作原则、审美情趣、呈现方式、文体和作者立场方面均有不同,以期为这一批评领域的深入研究做些基础性工作。

Some scholars argue that the introduction of and researches on Ecocriticism in China have enjoyed a history of 30 years,but we find that the differentiation of such basic terms as nature writing,nature literature,and environmental literature has hardly been made,not even in the ten most cited articles.Moreover,many have used them interchangeably.This article tries to clarify the differences,particularly those between nature literature and environmental literature,in thematic contents,principles of writing,aesthetic ideas,modes of presentation,and the authors' perspectives and attitudes.By so doing,we hope that the discussion on Ecocriticism will further develop from a more solid foundation.
