摘要
多丽丝·莱辛的《什卡斯塔》借助科幻小说的形式,以认知水平远高于人类的老人星人教导其学生为名,向读者描绘陌生化了的地球,以此挑战读者习以为常的理性禁锢,揭示人类的认知局限。与此同时,莱辛通过想象创造的老人星文明本身就暗示了人类认知进步的可能性;而耶和的多角度认知方法,其认知过程中理性与非理性的紧密结合,表面上为老人星学生实际上为读者树立了认知典范。
Employing narrative conventions of science fiction and in the shape of a textbook edited by Canopean archivists for the purpose of educating Canopean students,by offering an estranged version of Earth,Doris Lessing's Re: Colonised Planet 5,Shikasta challenges the naturalized confining ideas to which the readers have got used and blind,and thus reveals the limit of human cognition. Meanwhile,Lessing's act of imagining the existence of Canopeans with a much higher cognitive intelligence than human beings shows her belief in possible cognitive progress. Johor sets up a cognitive example with his multi-perspective cognition and his integrating closely the rational cognition with the irrational,an example for Canopean students in appearance but for the readers as a matter of fact.
