生态共同体想象:《自然资源保护者》中的文学绘图

Imagination of Ecocommunity:Literary Cartography in The Conservationist

纳丁·戈迪默在《自然资源保护者》中对人类与生态整体性的关系展开绘图,绘制了南非农场空间、交通网络与生态共同体三幅图景,探索生态危机的根源和出路。农场空间绘图揭露殖民主义和种族隔离制度下不平等的资源占有状况、白人特权阶级的错误认知和罪行对地方生态共同体的摧毁,赞扬了非洲黑人作为“自然资源保护者”的能动性与主体性,颠覆了西方环境主义和殖民话语对黑人的歪曲与压制。交通网络绘图将地方生态共同体与全球连通,在揭露生态非正义和人类中心主义的罪恶之时,表达了全球合作共建生态共同体的愿景。生态共同体绘图凸显非人类自然的能动性,揭示人类与非人类在维护生态共同体时发挥的协同能动性,彰显了人与自然和谐共生的共同体想象。

Nadine Gordimer engages in literary cartography to explore the relation between human and ecological holism in The Conservationist,mapping South African farm space,transportation network,and ecocommunity to delve into the roots of ecological crisis and potential solutions.By mapping the farm space,the novel reveals the unequal resource allocation under colonialism and apartheid,exposes the misconceptions and wrongdoings of the privileged white class that have destroyed local ecocommunity,and celebrates the agency and subjectivity of Black Africans as"conservationists,"thus challenging and subverting the distortion and oppression perpetuated by the Western environmentalism and colonial discourse.The mapping of the transportation network connects local ecocommunity to the global context,revealing the evils of ecological injustice and anthropocentrism,while advocating for global cooperation to foster an organic ecocommunity.The mapping of the ecological community underscores the agency of non-human nature,emphasizing the collaborative agency of human and non-human in sustaining the ecocommunity.This highlights a communal imagination of harmonious coexistence between human and nature.
