主体神话·家园想象·幻灭——生态批评视域中的《美国牧歌》

The Disillusion of Myth in American Pastoral from the Perspective of Ecological Criticism

美国当代小说家菲利普·罗斯于20世纪末创作的《美国牧歌》刻画了主人公塞莫尔·利沃夫主体神话及家园想象的幻灭,揭示塞莫尔悲剧性命运的根源在于脱离现实的主体价值的构建。主体价值优先是人类中心主义思想在人类社会生活层面的表现,作品因此批判了主体神话的虚幻性和主体伦理的狭隘性,赋予了《美国牧歌》以社会生态和精神生态层面上的深刻意义。

American Pastoral, completed by Philip Roth at the end of the 20th century, focuses on Seymour＇s dis- illusion of homeland imagination and the myth of subject and points out that the ideological root of Seymour^s trag- edy lies in his construction of surrealistic subjective values. The focus of subjective values is an expression of an- thropocentrisrn. The paper aims to criticize the disillusioned myth of subject and the limitation of subjective ethics in American Pastoral from the perspectives of social ecology and spiritual ecology.
