美在否定的瞬间生成:《青山》的认知诗学解读

Beauty from the Moment of Negating:An Interpretation of Kay Ryan's Green Hills from Perspective of Cognitive Poetics

在《青山》中,诗人运用拟人将人的社会文化属性映射到冰冷的岩石之后,再否定拟人的事实,消解了读者的审美期待,但肯定了青山一种独特的自然美;否定前后的两种心理表征造成强有力的美学张力,也体现出诗人生态主义的文学观。

In Green Hills, the poet uses personification to map the social and cultural property of human beings onto the lifeless rocks, and then she negates the personified fact. This neutralizes reader＇s aesthetic expectation, but confirms a special natural beauty. The two psychological representations before and after the negation have produced a strong aesthetic tension which embodies the poet＇s ecologist literary outlook.
