环境正义与地方伦理——解析金索尔弗的小说《动物之梦》

Environmental Justice and Place Ethics: An Analysis of Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver

瓦尔·普鲁姆伍德的多元地方论或"环境正义地方原则"是融合环境正义与地方伦理的代表性研究,它提倡平等对待所有地方,维护所有人、所有物种在地方中的生存权利。以普鲁姆伍德的理论为基础,本文解读美国当代小说家芭芭拉·金索尔弗的作品《动物之梦》,分析小说中对侵犯人权和自然权的"单一地方论"的批判,探讨女主人公科蒂在投入当地环境正义运动、获得多元化地方观与地方感的过程。

Based on the theory of multiple place consciousness or the place principle of environmental justice advanced by Val Plumwood,which,as a typical research on integrating environmental justice and place ethics,advocates the equality of all places,and the equal rights to existence on the part of all humans and species,this paper interprets Animal Dreams by the modern American novelist,Barbara Kingsolver.It analyses how the conception of the singular place is criticized became of its invasion of human rights and nature rights,and how the heroine Codi,in the process of the local environmental justice movement,gains the multiple place consciousness and a sense of place.
