“人类世、气候变化与文学再现”专题学术论坛综述

A Survey of the Academic Forum of“Anthropocene,Climate Change and Literary Representation”

2000年,诺贝尔化学奖得主、荷兰大气化学家克鲁岑(Paul Jozef Crutzen)提出“人类世”(Anthropocene)概念,认为地球已进入新的地质历史时期,其核心表征是全球气候变化。“人类世”概念迅速由自然科学领域传播到人文社会科学领域,在哲学、历史学、人类学、社会学等领域受到高度关注和热烈讨论。近几年,“人类世”概念也被运用到文学研究与批评领域,成为生态文学批评的重要维度,并为重新审视文学作品,尤其是阐释21世纪以来勃兴的气候文学提供了更广阔的时空视角和地球史视角。为进一步增进国内学界对“人类世”概念和气候变化文学研究的交流,以及推进中国的气候教育,南京航空航天大学外国语学院于2021年1月24日举办了“人类世、气候变化与文学再现”线上专题学术论坛。

Being on the cutting edge of geology and geoscience,the Anthropocene has been widely accepted by scholars in disciplines of humanities and social sciences in the west in recent years.The concept of the Anthropocene can also be adopted in ecocriticism since it can enrich ecological discourses,refreshing and revolutionizing many traditional ideas about human beings and our Earth.The study of the concept of the Anthropocene is underway both in the west and China.Nine Chinese scholars uttered their voices about the Anthropocene in the academic forum of“Anthropocene,Climate Change and Literary Representation”and they made inspiring and tentative explorations into how the concept of the Anthropocene is adopted in literary criticism.Their contributions are mainly as follows:the construction of the Anthropocene as critical discourses;the practice of the Anthropocene cli-fi criticism;the reference with Chinese culture in the Anthropocene criticism,and the Anthropocene as a methodology.
