自然崇拜:人与自然对话的语境

Nature Worship:Linguistic Context in Dialogue between Man and Nature

在人与自然对话的语境中 ,拜物是必不可少的文化因子。在万物有灵向自然崇拜过渡的叙事话语中 ,其叙述语言一方面接近了自然崇拜的所指和能指 ,另一方面又通过神话语言把追究自然的话语蕴含在初民的价值观中。神化自然和将自然人格化为崇拜自然提供了先决条件。图腾崇拜是自然崇拜的前提 ,万物有灵是从图腾崇拜到自然崇拜的中介语言。自然崇拜对图腾崇拜中心话语的取消主要表现在张扬万物有灵的“元语言”方面 ,其“元语言”由深层浮向表层 ,使以图腾崇拜为标志的中心话语在接近自然崇拜———权力话语时成为可能。

In the linguistic context between man and Nature, fetishism is an inevitable cultural factor. In the narrative discourse during the transition from fetish to Nature worship, the narrative language , on one hand, approaches what Nature worship refers to and what it can refer to, on the other hand, it includes the discourse chasing Nature in the value idea of primitive people through mythological language. To deify and personify Nature provides the presupposition for worshiping nature. Totem worship is the premise for worshiping Nature, while fetish is the media language from totem worship to nature worship. The abolition of nature worship towards the central discourse of totem worship is mainly reflected in the aggression of 'meta-language'. The float of 'meta-language' to the surface from the deep layer makes it possible for the central discourse with the mark of totem worship to approach Nature worship -power discourse.
