自然的复魅：物质生态批评下《还乡》中“爱敦荒原”的生态图景
The Re-Enchantment of Nature: An Ecological Vision of “Egdon Heath” in The Return of the Native through Material Ecocriticism
摘要: 作为托马斯·哈代“性格与环境小说”的代表作，《还乡》植根于对大自然的深切感知，从生态主义角度出发，为我们提供了一个观察万物和人性的全新角度。爱敦荒原是小说中的故事背景，不仅如此，这一生态系统有其内在的生命力，荒原上的每个植物、动物、无生命物体都富有灵性，诉说着自己的故事。文章旨在以小说中“爱敦荒原”作为研究对象，运用物质生态批评理论重新解读这部作品。作为一个有知觉的生命体形象，爱敦荒原有其施事能力，能够产生意义和叙述故事，同时也蕴含着哈代对于人与自然之间关系的深刻哲思。在“爱敦荒原”图景中，哈代表达了他对自然的爱，与追求人与自然和谐共生的生态整体观。
Abstract: As a representative work of Thomas Hardy’s “novels of character and environment”, The Return of the Native is deeply rooted in a keen perception of nature. From an ecological perspective, it offers a fresh angle on all life forms and human nature. Egdon Heath, the story’s backdrop, is a vibrant ecosystem where every plant, animal, and object possesses a unique spirit and tale. This study applies material ecocriticism to analyze Egdon Heath in the novel. Portrayed as a sentient life form, Egdon Heath possesses capacities of agency, generating meaning, and telling stories. It also conveys Hardy’s philosophy on the relationship between humans and nature. Through Egdon Heath, Hardy expresses his love for nature and advocates for an ecological holistic view of harmony between humans and nature.
