文化视阈中的猿猴形象及其嬗变根由论略

On Images of Apes and Monkeys and the Reasons of Image Evolution in Cultural Perspective

拟取"历时性"与"共时性"交融互摄的论证方式,从猴祖神话谱系中的人猿关系、变动不居的文学形象、人猿共融的生态图景以及形象演变缘由窥要四个维度,就文化视阈中的人猿关系、猿猴形象及其形象嬗变根由进行检视和论析。基本的论旨是:在未获得科学破解和学理厘清前,人猿关系既亲且疏、难以言说、甚为尴尬,文化视阈中的猿猴形象也相应地呈现出了一种变幻不定的情势。如此的情态,随着时代的演进,文明的进步和科技的发展而逐渐走向了终结。

This paper carries out a synchronic and diachronic study on the human -primate relationship and ima- ges of apes and monkeys derived from the perspectives of Chinese culture and literature. It comprises four relevant and separate parts, namely pedigree of primates＇ ethnologic mythology, variable literary image of primates, ideas of constructing a co - existing harmonious ecology for both humans and primates, and internal and external causes resul- ting in primates＇ variable images. It reveals that the scientific human - primate relationship and evolution of prima- tes＇ images are mainly brought about by the advancement of ages and technology, and human beings＇ cognitive mod- els and levels.
