从神话复归到文明反思——当代中西生态文学中的神话叙事

From the Reversion of Mythology to the Reflection on Civilization——The Myth Narrative of the Contemporary Chinese and Western Ecological Literature

当代中西生态文学大量运用神话故事,借此反思造成生态危机的现代文明,形成了神话叙事的潮流。神话叙事凝结着早期人类关于人与自然关系的想象和概括,既有对于人与自然关系的追溯和体验,也有对于文学创作中思想资源的探寻,是一种弥足珍贵的文化传统。现代文明的致命缺陷促使作家们反思长期以来的人与自然关系的误区,力图通过对于神话时代二者关系的重新追溯,进行思想资源的探寻。严峻的生态现实促使作家通过神话叙事向执迷不悟的现代人发出了厉声警示,并在对人与自然原初和谐的想象中获取思想的启迪。生态文本中对于神话的追述往往带有理想色彩和浪漫色调,同时也伴随着文化失落和自然失衡的双重苦痛。
