论老舍《猫城记》中的反进化论书写

On the Anti-Evolution Writing in Lao She′s A Tale of Cat City

《猫城记》作为老舍借猫国来讽喻现实的一部寓言体小说,文本内外充斥着丰富的反进化论思想。这种反进化论的书写模式表现为由人到兽的生物等级退化、社会结构的超稳定性、革命与代际的循环。通过书中反进化论的叙述,透视出老舍对进化论宣扬的“过激”和“断裂”倾向的理性辨析,以及对民族生存的道路探寻。

As an allegorical novel by Lao She using the Cat Country to satirize reality,A Tale of Cat City is filled with rich anti-evolutionary ideas both inside and outside the text.The writing mode of this anti evolution theory is manifested as the physiological degradation from humans to"cat humans",the super stable and"stagnant"nature of the"cat country"historical structure,and the"cat country"revolution and intergenerational historical cycle.Through the narration of anti-evolution theory in the book,we can see through Lao She′s rational analysis of the"radical"and"fractured"tendencies advocated by evolution,as well as his exploration of the path to national survival.
