素食、毒素与田园——《麦布女王》中的身体意识与生态理想

Vegetarian,Toxic,and Pastoral Variation: Body Consciousness and Ecological Ideal in Queen Mab

雪莱长诗《麦布女王》带有鲜明的空想色彩,其实正是通过对现实问题的积极回应,它谱写了雪莱"改造世界"的逻辑。雪莱的素食主张直接反映在该长诗关于田园传统的书写变异中,其背后孕育着浪漫主义普遍的"身体意识"。在身体意识下,雪莱刻画的旧世界实际上充满了大量的毒素描写与环境指涉,他设想通过素食主义,使旧世界成为万物和谐的新世界,田园情结在此逻辑中转换为生态理想,从而生成浪漫主义的自然诗歌语境。

Shelley’s long poem Queen Mab has a bright utopian color. In fact,it is a positive response to health,the environment,livelihood,justice,and other realistic issues. The poem alludes to these issues in its mythological narration and presents Shelley’s logic of reforming the world. From the perspective of the body,Shelley’s vegetarianism is directly reflected in his poem in a varied form of the western pastoral tradition,and behind his vegetarianism is the universal “body consciousness” of Romanticism.
