科幻城市的图绘与对话:从《城市与群星》到《井中之城》

Description and Negotiation of Cities in Science Fiction:From The City and the Stars to The City in the Well

克拉克的《城市与群星》与刘洋的《井中之城》图绘了中外科幻中的孤城形象及其困境,形成人类自由与自救的对话,并以向外的探索宇宙的乐观精神与向内的审视自我的主体意识重构人类自由人文主义精神。这昭示了科幻黄金时代科幻作家秉持技术乐观主义,在两座城市向外与向内的路径探索时,以及后人类文明展望中,充分肯定人性与自我,回归人类主体与生活现实,强调以顽强卓绝的勇气面向现实,重新认识人类伟大的创造力。

Both Clark's The City and The Stars and Liu Yang's The City in the Well describe the image of an isolated city and its dilemma,signifying a negotiation between human's freedom and self-salvation,and a reconstruction of the free humanism with the optimistic spirit of exploring the universe outward and the subjective consciousness of examining oneself inward.They both indicate that science fiction writers in the golden age of science fiction adhere to technological optimism,fully affirm human nature and self,emphasize to face reality with indomitable courage,and re-recognize human's great creativity.
