新物质主义视域下“新怪谭”小说中的生命共同体书写——以《遗落的南境》三部曲为例

Life Community Writing in“New Weird”Fiction from a New Materialist Perspective:Taking The Southern Reach Trilogy as an Example

杰夫·范德米尔在其新怪谭代表作《遗落的南境》中表达了对笛卡尔以来人/物二元认识论的新思考。他引入“超物体”概念,描述了物力赋能下X区域之于认识论范畴的超越以及对人类世界的不断渗透,借助人与物之间双重“跨体”纠缠来重构肉身物性的同时也瓦解了人与自然在文化语境中的分离状态,勾勒出“跨体未来”这一后人类生存新图景。该作的新物质主义书写从物的维度审视环境危机下的本体论,定义了人与非人间混溶共生的交互新范式,强化了人与自然生命共同体的核心内涵,为重塑人类世时代人/物关系提供了理论方案。

In his New Weird masterpiece,The Southern Reach Trilogy,Jeff VanderMeer offers new perspectives on the Cartesian dualism of human/object.He introduces the concept of the“hyperobject”to describe the epistemological transcendence of Area X and its continuous infiltration into the human world,empowered by the power-thing.Through the dual“transcorporeal”entanglements between humans and objects,the novel reconstructs the materiality of the body while dissolving the cultural separation between humans and nature,outlining a trans-corporeal future,a new post-human survival landscape.VanderMeer’s new materialist writing examines ontology from the perspective of objects within the context of environmental crises,defining a new paradigm of symbiotic interaction between human and non-human entities.It emphasizes the core essence of the human-nature life community,providing a theoretical framework for reshaping the human/object relationship in the Anthropocene era.
