当代文学灾害书写的人性考察

The Investigation of Human Nature in Contemporary Literary Disaster Writing

面对瘟疫、台风、地震、海啸、洪水、暴风雪等巨大的自然灾害,人性得到了真实的检验,卑劣和崇高俱在。当代文学灾害书写常常将主人公置于一种非常态的自然灾害情境下,表现危难之中人性的光辉和幽暗。一方面,人们可以更加清楚地辨别出谁是真的英雄和猛士,显示了绝境中心灵的坚韧和强大;另一方面,灾害中的基本价值体系崩塌,给人类带来心灵的磨难与灵魂的拷问,有利于刻画主人公在灾害情境下所遭受的精神苦难,表现人性的悲悯和无奈。

In the face of great natural disasters such as plague,typhoon,earthquake,tsunami,flood and snowstorm,human nature,either despicable or noble,has been truly tested.In contemporary literary disaster writing,the protagonist is often placed in an abnormal natural disaster situation to show the brilliance and darkness of human nature in distress.On the one hand,people can more clearly identify who is the real hero and brave warrior,showing the desperation of the tenacious and strong soul;on the other hand,in the disaster situation,some basic human values will be challenged,and the protagonist will suffer spiritual trials and tribulations,which is conducive to depicting the protagonist’s spiritual suffering in the disaster situation,and to show human compassion and helplessness.
