新世纪国内西方文学中的动物研究:现状、路径与展望

Animal Studies of Western Literature in China in New Century

近年来我国西方文学中的动物研究迅速发展,然而目前全面反映该领域研究现状的实证文献几乎处于空白状态。依据研究成果年份、作者和内容等对此进行分析,结果显示:新世纪尤其是2012年后相关研究呈井喷现象,但研究队伍具有显著的断裂性和偶然性,研究对象方面存在鲜明的经典情结与诺贝尔奖情结,研究体裁选择上青睐英美现当代小说,研究路径主要有传统人文主义、后现代他者诗学和动物伦理文化研究。国内西方文学动物研究取得量和质的进步的同时,仍存在一些问题亟待修正与完善。

The recent years have witnessed great development of the animal studies in western literature in China.However,there is little literature that gives a full picture of this research situation.This paper makes an empirical analysis of the animal studies in western literature in China of new century from three aspects:time,researchers,and contents.It is shown that the domestic animal studies in western literature incline to take classic writers and works or Nobel Prize winners as subjects,most of which belong to modern and contemporary English novels.Traditional humanism study,postmodern other poetics study,animal ethics study are the most common methodologies.It is also suggested that there has yielded an improvement both in research quantity and quality,but some problems still persist in current animal studies.
