阅读地域与身份:从生态批评视角解读余长丰诗歌(英文)

Reading Place and Identity: An Ecocritical Approach to the Poetry of Ee Tiang Hong

本文认为,在余长丰的诗歌中,地域是物质现实的指针;物质现实不仅塑造身份,也被身份塑造,那些在后殖民时期视马来西亚为自己的国度和家园的流散华人的身份即是如此。诗人在书写荒野与生态的过程中,审视了这片土地和及其子民的系统性移置。对他而言,这片大地的历史已经与社群和个人的历史融合。

This paper argues that place in Ee Tiang Hong’s poetry is an index for physical realities and that these realities help shape and are shaped by identities such as those of the postcolonial, diasporic Chinese who call Malaysia their land and home. In his treatment of wilderness and ecology, Ee critiques the systematic displacement of both the soil and the son of the soil. For Ee, the history of the land is fused to communal and personal history.
