地理诗学的批评实践:评《海明威的地理:亲密感、物质性与记忆》

A Review on Hemingway’s Geographies:Intimacy,Materiality,and Memory

当今西方学界出现了明显的＂物质转向＂或＂非人转向＂,将批评视角转向文学中的＂物＂,劳拉·格鲁伯·戈弗雷的新著《海明威的地理：亲密感、物质性与记忆》（2016）即是这一背景下的产物。该书聚焦海明威的＂地理诗学＂,探讨海明威在其作品中如何建立人物与地方的亲密感、如何凸显地方中＂物＂的主体性和物质性。本书为探索经典文学作品中的地理提供了较好范例。

There is an obvious ＂material turn＂ or ＂non-human turn＂ in contemporary western critical climate, which draws our critical attention to＂things/objects＂ in literary works. Hemingway＇s Geographies： Intimacy,Materiality, and Memory（2016） by Laura Gruber Godfrey is just a case in point. The book focuses on Hemingway＇s ＂geographical poetics＂,exploring the ways Hemingway creates intimacy between his characters and places and how he attends to the agency and materiality of the objects in places. The book provides a good example of exploring geographies in literary classics.
