《拉帕西尼的女儿》的社会生态学解读

Social ecological interpretation of Rappaccini’s Daughter

霍桑在其短篇佳作《拉帕西尼的女儿》中,通过将自然(花园)作为小说的一个主角,对自然与人类关系进行诠释,揭示了生态问题背后深层次的社会问题,他超时代的生态意识正契合了20世纪美国社会生态学理论的奠基人默里.布克金的社会生态学基本观点。对于当今的全球性的生态危机,霍桑超时代的生态观仍颇有见地。

Through featuring nature （the garden） as one protagonist and interpreting the relationship between nature and human beings, Hawthorne uncovered the deep-seated social problems behind ecological problems in one of his best short fictions Rappaccini＇s Daughter. Hawthorne＇s foresighted ecological consciousness coincides with the basic views of Murray Bookchin, the founder of American social ecolo- gy in 20th century. Hawthorne＇s transcendent ecological views still provide insight into the present glob- al ecological crisis.
