文学性与关怀意识:生态批评的旨趣

Literariness and Sense of Humanistic Care: Ecocriticism's Purport

生存环境的凸显,使其不断在文学中居于显要位置。于是,文学与环境(处所)、文学与地理的关系越来越受到人们的重视。以研究文学与环境的关系为主要目的的生态批评,伴随着环境恶化的加剧以及自身所具有的跨学科气质在全球范围内不断勃兴。该批评倡导人的环境意识、地方感以及伦理关怀,主张把文学置入人类的生活世界中开掘文学与环境的全部意义,它是文学在当代的存在主义。作为一种新范式,整体性、系统论和生态智慧是它的显著特点,它可为以文学性为主导观念的传统批评注入新气象。重视文学在生态文本性、环境公正和公民道德上的作为则是生态批判的时代责任与时代使命。
