神话与科幻瘟疫叙事的共性研究

A Study on Commonality of Epidemic Narration in Mythology and Science Fiction

神话是过去的科幻,科幻是将来的神话,而瘟疫则是人类历史的重要组成部分。同样以幻想性为基本文体特征的神话和科幻在建塑瘟疫的角色定位、叙述瘟疫的发生机制和抗疫手段这三个方面呈现出跨越时空限制的共通性。暗含了对人类的心灵抚慰和生命关怀,呈现了人类共同体与自然的动态对话过程,显示了神力与技术相互交织的内在张力。

Mythology is the science fiction of the past,science fiction is the mythology of the future,and epidemics are an important part of human history.Similarly,mythology and science fiction,with fantasy as the basic stylistic feature,have common characteristics across time and space in the three aspects of the positioning of epidemic,the occurrence of the epidemic and the measures of anti-epidemic.It implies the spiritual comfort and life care of human beings,presents the dynamic dialogue process between human community and nature,and shows the inner tension of interwoven divine power and technology.
