摘要
作为统摄众多理论概念的“涵盖性术语”,新物质主义以物质动能作为最基底的面向来审视存在的意义,进而在松解传统哲学观的同时构建出一种基于物的内在活力的,以生成、纠缠为核心要义的新物质主义本体论。本论文从梳理21世纪西方人文社科领域“新物质主义”思潮的起源与发展衍进入手,重点论述作为本体论转向的新物质主义的核心假设和理论基石,并在此基础上审视该思潮如何有效拓展和塑造了21世纪以来的西方文学研究空间。文学批评领域的新物质主义研究借助“物质动能”“内在互动”等核心概念开辟出一种重新定义人类和物质世界之间关系的“非人类中心”视角,如发动机引擎般深刻影响了生态批评、后人类批评、情感批评等众多理论场域的前沿趋势。
The umbrella term,New Materialism,attempts to unveil the meaning of being through material agency as the basic facet,and,while deviating from the traditional one,build up a new materialist ontology which is well-grounded on the vitality of matter,and treats engendering and entanglement as its essentials.This paper,starting from the scholarship of new materialism as the discourse of 21st century western humanities,primarily focuses on the core hypothesis and theoretical basis of new materialism as ontological turn,and further probes into how it has shaped and expanded the dimensions of western literary studies since the millennium.New materialism in literary criticism calls for returning to the objects in texts,and meanwhile creates,through the core concepts of new materialism such as material agency and intra-action,a"non-anthropocentric"perspective to redefine the relationship between human beings and the material world,which has struck enormously the new developments of eco-criticism,posthumanistcriticism,and affective criticism.
