苏珊娜·普里查德《干活的阉牛》的生态解读

Eco- interpretation of Prichard's Working Bullocks

《干活的阉牛》是苏珊娜·普里查德的代表作之一,是两次世界大战期间澳大利亚文学在民族主义文学道路上继续发展和丰富的产物。该书展示了一战后西澳地区的原始自然环境和当地林业工人的生存状态,细腻地描写了伐木工人所经受的身体和心灵的双重创伤。生态理论为该作品的研究开辟了新的视角。本文从自然的拟人化,对人类中心主义的批判和对机器生产的反思三个方面展开分析,展示出人与自然不可分割的关联和对自然的敬畏。

Working Bullocks is one of the representative works of Susannah Prichard. It is a product of the de-velopment and enrichment of Australian nationalist literature during the time of the two world wars. In this book, the primitive natural environment in west Australia and the living condition of lumberman after World War I are clearly displayed,as well as the physical and emotional trauma of lumberman. The ecological theory has provided a new approach to study the work. The research of the work will be carried out from three aspects：the personification of the nature,the criticism on anthropocentrism and the reflection on machinery production,revealing the close re-lationship between human and nature and the awe toward nature.
