追寻梦中的家园——《升空》的生态主义解读

Searching for Dreamland: Ecological Study on Levitation

精神生态理论和地域生态观关注现代人的精神危机,强调"地方意识"以及它与"自我身份认同"之间的关系。位置感是生态地域主义的核心概念,既是经济的生态,更是精神的生态。有着悠久传统的犹太民族,饱经沧桑,仍因各自的原因,散落在世界各地。位置感的缺失,使他们努力在残酷现实的夹缝中寻找梦想的家园。犹太裔美国作家辛西娅·奥齐克就是其中一位具有整体生态思想的作家。《升空》是她其中的一部短片小说集,其中不仅关注在美国多元价值观和多元文化影响下的犹太人的命运和生活,还包含了对大屠杀幸存者的精神生态关怀。《升空》体现了作者整体生态理念,对生态文学的研究具有重要现实意义。

Spiritual ecology and regional ecological theory focus on mental crisis among human beings in modern society.Moreover, ecological theory emphasizes the relationship between “sense of location” and “self-identity”. The“sense of location” has been employed as the most important concept in regional ecological theory which shares both economic and spiritual characteristics.In this sense, Jewish people have unique traditions with many famous stories in their history thus their life provides a typical example to illustrate the ecological theory.Levitation, as one of Ozick representative works, concerns the Jewish-Americans’ destiny and life,stands in a position to express an ecological compassion towards Holocaust survivors.Levitation, discloses Ozick’ s ecological consciousness in an ob-jective way, which has realistic significance to the study of eco-literature.
