《黑暗中的人》：老年世界的叙事封闭与赋能

王　悦

内容提要：老人作为叙事主体，在当代文化语境中具有意识表达的独特性和复杂性。这一叙事身份尚未在文学研究中得到足够的重视。本文借用叙事老年学的理论分析美国作家保罗·奥斯特的作品《黑暗中的人》，探讨老年叙述者在社会及自我叙事两个层面上所体现出的叙事封闭特征，以及老人如何通过构建故事打破叙事封闭、实现叙事赋能的过程。“叙事”在老年人建构生活意义、维系价值与尊严的活动中起到重要作用，从叙事封闭与赋能的角度研究老年文学，可以加深我们对文学作品中“衰老”议题的理解，倾听更多文化隐形的老年人潜在的叙事声音。

Title: Man in the Dark: Narrative Foreclosure and Empowerment in the World of the

Elderly

ABSTRACT: As narrative subjects, older adults express themselves uniquely in contemporary culture, but their narrative identity is often overlooked in literary studies. This paper analyzes Paul Auster’s Man in the Dark from the perspective of narrative gerontology to explore how elderly narrators exhibit narrative foreclosure and break free from it through storytelling. Narrative plays a key role in helping older adults find meaning and preserve their dignity. By examining aging literature through the lenses of narrative foreclosure and empowerment, we can deepen our understanding of aging and detect the often-overlooked voices of older adults.

Keywords: Paul Auster, Man in the Dark, narrative gerontology, narrative foreclosure,narrative empowerment

跨媒介视域下《葡萄园》的音乐化叙事结构研究

任红红　马　毓

内容提要：托马斯·品钦的《葡萄园》糅合了20世纪60年代迷幻摇滚的音乐特征，以后现代主义跨媒介叙事的艺术尝试，打破了传统小说的叙事结构范式，从微观和宏观两个维度效仿了迷幻摇滚的音乐技法及形式。在微观层面，通过对多个人物的即兴书写中断了叙事结构的连续性，将叙事的发展悬停于无限绵延的垂直时空中；在宏观层面，叙事结构借由多元摇滚风格的糅合打乱了章节间的连贯性，模糊了叙事前行的方向及故事事件的时间维度，从而使小说的叙事艺术具有迷幻摇滚无方向性的跨媒介特征，让读者在视觉的观感中体验与众不同的音乐幻象和迷幻的时间体验。

Title: A Transmedia Study of the Musical Narrative in Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland

ABSTRACT: Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland draws on the musical characteristics of psychedelic rock and, in a postmodernist attempt at transmedia storytelling, breaks the traditionalnarrative paradigm of the novel. At both micro and macro levels, the novel’s narrative emulates the musical techniques and forms of psychedelic rock. At the micro level, character improvisation interrupts the continuity of the narrative structure. At the macro level, the narrative structure disrupts the coherence between chapters through the mix of multiple rock styles, blurring the direction of the narrative and the temporal dimension of events in the story. This imbues the narrative with the directionlessness of psychedelic rock and offers the reader a sonic illusion and psychedelic time experience.

Keywords: Vineland, transmedia storytelling, psychedelic rock, time experience

当代美国技术政治治理危机的反思

—论《僵尸》的主题意蕴

郝书苑　李保杰

内容提要：乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨的小说《僵尸》以冷战时期科技冲击下的美国社会为背景，对历史上的连环谋杀案进行文学改写。“僵尸”具有多重象征意义，贯穿小说的始终。小说的表层叙事是连环杀手痴迷于使用“科学实验”制造“僵尸”而被异化成杀人机器，并陷入“自我僵尸化”的恶性循环，这影射美国技术治理下社会的“普遍僵尸化”现象。小说通过再现技术操控和技术官僚机制对民众认知的把控，揭示了造成社会普遍僵尸化的政治根源，反思了当代美国技术政治的治理危机。

Title: Reflections on Crisis in Contemporary American Techno-political Governance: A Thematic Study of Joyce Carol Oates’s Zombie

ABSTRACT: Joyce Carol Oates’s novel Zombie is a literary rewriting of historical serial murder, set against the backdrop of American society under the impact of technology during the Cold War. “Zombie” imagery, which has multiple symbolic meanings, forms a continuous thread throughout the novel. On the surface, the novel tells the story of a serial killer whose obsession with conducting “scientific experiments” to create “zombies” leads to his alienation. He turns into a killing machine and becomes caught in a vicious circle of “self-zombification.” Meanwhile, the novel draws attention to a process of societal zombification in general under American techno-governance. By representing how public perceptions are misled by techno-manipulation and technocratic mechanisms, the novel reveals the political roots of societal zombification, thereby reflecting the crisis in contemporary American techno-political governance.

欧茨悲剧诗学的现代性书写

王　丹

内容提要：20世纪50至80年代，“悲剧衰亡”论在西方评论界甚嚣尘上，支持者宣称，现代社会缺乏稳定的神话系统为悲剧提供阐释框架，因此不可能诞生悲剧。在此背景下，欧茨从自我意识发展历史的视角阐释了现代悲剧存在的文化基础，揭示了西方自我中心主义文化的内在矛盾性和破坏性。同时，她通过分析现代主体与共同体的疏离，探索了现代悲剧的文化根源，批判了西方现代性的困境和内在悖论。在其悲剧小说中，她通过描绘主人公的共同体意识对于西方自我中心主义文化的超越，进一步诠释了现代悲剧的超越维度。欧茨的悲剧诗学展现出清晰的反启蒙特征以及现代悲剧与现代文化秩序之间互为影响和渗透的动态关系，为现代悲剧理论的构建以及现代悲剧文学的繁荣做出了独特的贡献。

Title: The Modernity Writing of Joyce Carol Oates’s Poetics of Tragedy

ABSTRACT: From the 1950s to the 1980s, Western critics posited the theory of “the decline of tragedy”, claiming that modern society lacked a stable mythological system to provide an interpretive framework for tragedy and therefore could not produce it. Against this backdrop, Joyce Carol Oates expounds the cultural basis for the existence of modern tragedy from the perspective of the development of self-consciousness, revealing the inherent contradictions and destructiveness of Western egocentric culture. Meanwhile, by analyzing the alienation between modern subject and community, Oates probes into the cultural roots of modern tragedy and criticizes the predicament and inherent paradox of Western modernity. In her tragic novels, the protagonists’ awareness of community transcends the limitations of Western egocentric culture, which demonstrates the transcendental dimension of modern tragedy. Oates’s poetics of tragedy reflects a clear counter-Enlightenment feature as well as the interactive, dynamic relationship between modern tragedy and modern cultural order, hence making unique contributions to the construction of modern tragic theory and to the development of modern tragic literature.

Keywords: Joyce Carol Oates, tragedy, modernity, transcendence, counter-Enlightenment

艾米斯《夜行列车》中的抑郁症书写与他者伦理

吕 珂 刘久明

内容提要：艾米斯小说《夜行列车》通过女警探迈克的视角，审视了天文学家詹妮弗的自杀事件，还原了其痛苦、无助以及绝望的精神生态，同时映射出迈克低落的心境和自杀的倾向。从精神医学的视角解读《夜行列车》可以发现，两位主人公的心境低迷实际上是罹患抑郁症的主要表征。通过抑郁症的书写，小说映射出社会加速这一时代背景对人与自我以及与他人关系的异化，并揭示出在异化中人们不可避免地经历了价值虚无与意义丧失。此外，小说借由詹妮弗建构他者伦理，帮助迈克找寻到价值与意义的情节设置，隐喻性地开出了救治抑郁症的“社会处方”。

Title: Depression and Ethics of the Other in Martin Amis’s Night Train

ABSTRACT: Night Train (1997) by Martin Amis examines the suicide of Jennifer, an astronomer, through the perspective of Detective Mike, who not only restores Jennifer’s pain, helplessness, and desperation in a “psychological autopsy,” but also identifies in herself mental experiences similar to Jennifer’s in the process. In light of psychiatry, this paper argues that the two protagonists are afflicted with depression, revealing the survival dilemma of individuals who alienate themselves from others at a time of social acceleration, as well as the loss of values and meaning of life they suffer. Moreover, by making Jennifer follow an ethics of the Other and actively shoulder the responsibility of assisting Mike, which helps her abandon the idea of suicide, the novel metaphorically provides a “social prescription” for treating depression.

论《法国中尉的女人》中的多语境书写

吴梦宇

内容提要：《法国中尉的女人》以维多利亚时代及其文学表征为原型，通过多语境叙事模式前置小说文本的建构过程和表征机制，揭示了后现代话语意识对维多利亚时代价值观念的重构。福尔斯在小说中对维多利亚文学进行戏仿，建立多维度、多语境、跨时空互联的意义生成路径，以多语境并置的方式解构维多利亚时期的现实认知机制，以场景流转建立空间驱动下的主体价值重构，并以作者跨时空、跨语境介入实现历史再造。福尔斯的多语境叙事不仅凸显了文本意义的生成性和建构性，更呈现了空间思维介入下西方资本主义现代性批判的内在理路，以及西方现代文明价值失范与重构的认知转型。

Title: On the Polycontextualized Writing in The French Lieutenant’s Woman

ABSTRACT: The French Lieutenant’s Woman, set in Victorian England and influenced by Victorian literature, foregrounds the process of construction and representation through polycontextualized writing, and it reveals the reconstruction of Victorian values by the intervention of postmodernist discourse. Fowles parodies Victorian literary style and the collective Victorian worldview, establishing a multidimensional, multi-contextual, cross-spatial, and cross-temporal path for generating meaning. By juxtaposing multiple contexts, the novel deconstructs the cognitive mechanisms of reality in the Victorian period. It reconstructs subjective values through spatially driven scene transitions and achieves historical reconstruction through the author’s cross-spatial, cross-temporal, and cross-contextual interventions. Fowles’ polycontextualized narrative not only highlights the generative and constructive nature of literary meaning but also presents the internal logic of the critique of Western capitalist modernity, the cognitive transformation from value disorientation, and the recreation of Western modern civilization through the perspective of space.

Title: Symbolic Metaphor: Spatial Writing and Ethical Tragedy in The Puppet Syndrome

ABSTRACT: The motif of puppets runs through Dina Rubina’s novel The Puppet Syndrome. Lubina innovatively juxtaposes symbolic encoding with spatial writing, using such metaphors as “puppet,” “death,” “schism,” and “creation.” “Puppet” refers to the nomadic and displaced lives of ethnic minorities. “Death” refers to the intergenerational ethical tragedies that result from ethical disorder and moral silence. “Schism” refers to the romantic ethical tragedies resulting from the separation of spirit and flesh and the loss of subjectivity. “Creation” refers to the spirit of freedom and the spirit of creation that the protagonists demonstrate in the process of resisting and transcending alienated society, puppet fate, and ethical tragedy, ultimately regaining their individual subjectivity. This constitutes the writer’s modern inquiry into (and interpretation of) the question, “What is the essence of humanity?” The novel reflects the writer’s aesthetic understanding of human existence and the true meaning of life.

追寻哲人治国理想

 —论克鲁萨诺夫《天使咬伤》中的作者神话

刘净娟

内容提要：作者神话是克鲁萨诺夫小说创作的主要体裁特征。在小说《天使咬伤》中，克鲁萨诺夫以“乱世传奇”以来的传统欧亚帝王神话为结构基础，面向中国哲人治国的政治理想，构建了独特的作者神话。他笔下的圣王神话集中反映了本世纪初俄国乌托邦文学对帝王形象和帝国模式的神话建构形态及其“帝国综合症”现象。对作者神话的研究有利于揭示克鲁萨诺夫跨文化创作逻辑的内外成因，对辩证审视中俄文化交融互鉴具有重要意义。

Title: Pursuing the Ideal of the Philosopher-King’s Rule: On the Author’s Myth in Pavel Krusanov’s Novel Angel’s Bite

ABSTRACT: The author’s myth is a distinctive feature of Pavel Krusanov’s works. In his novel Angel’s Bite, the writer constructs a unique author’s myth based on the traditionalEurasian emperor’s myth and oriented to the political ideal of the Chinese philosopher-king’s rule. The author’s myth of the philosopher-king reflects the mythological image of the emperor and the mode of the empire in utopian literature at the beginning of the century, as well as the phenomenon of “empire syndrome.” The author’s myth encodes the internal and external causes of the author’s cross-cultural creative logic. It is of great significance in objectively assessing intercultural integration and mutual learning between China and Russia.

阿特伍德发色书写背后的社会文化符码

罗　靖

内容提要：本文以红发意象为例，聚焦同一物质意象在阿特伍德不同创作时期的流变。早期作品《可以吃的女人》与《神谕女士》中，阿特伍德侧重书写红发背后年轻女性的身体焦虑，发色偏好趋同的“巧合”背后潜藏着政治经济文化问题。在随后的历史小说《别名格蕾丝》里，阿特伍德通过红发偏见引出19世纪中叶对爱尔兰人的偏见问题，红发偏见暗合了上层社会对叛乱和造反的恐惧，先天的发色成为下层人血缘自证的工具。在《黑女士》和《带妈妈回来：一场招魂》的现代语境中，染发剂解决了先天发色难以改变的难题，特意染制的红发被女性用作情感表达与权力反抗。借助独特的发色书写，阿特伍德将女性议题隐入关于历史、社会等宏观问题的讨论中，在物质意象书写里开启权力关系反思。

Title: The Socio-Cultural Codes Behind Margaret Atwood’s Depiction of Hair Color

ABSTRACT: This article discusses the imagery of red hair in Margaret Atwood’s works, focusing on its evolution across different stages in her career. In her early works like The Edible Woman and Lady Oracle, Atwood emphasizes the bodily anxieties of young women through the imagery of red hair, suggesting that the “coincidence” of similar hair color preference conceals political, economic, and cultural issues. In the subsequent historical novel Alias Grace, Atwood uses the prejudice against red hair to represent mid-nineteenth century bias against the Irish. The red hair prejudice aligns with the upper-class fear of rebellion and revolt, making innate hair color a tool for the lower class to prove their lineage. In the modern context of “Dark Lady” and “Bring Back Mom: An Invocation”, hair dye resolves the difficulty of changing innate hair color, with deliberately dyed red hair being used by women as a means of emotional expression and resistance to power. Through her unique depiction of hair color, Atwood integrates women’s issues into discussion of broader historical and social agendas, initiating reflections on power relations through the writing of material imagery.

Title: Approaching Truth in Narrating the War: A Study of the Cameroonian Francophone

Author Mongo Beti’s War Writing

ABSTRACT: War is a prominent theme in Francophone African literature, and Cameroonian writer Mongo Beti explores the wars of African independence in his fiction. His narratives empower the colonized to resist oppression. They also portray flawed war heroes in order to construct collective memories suppressed by authorities. His war writings create a hybrid space blending African and Western influences, transcending simplistic dichotomies and offering a dynamic, life-centered perspective on war. Situated at the intersection of Cameroonian tradition and modern Western culture, Beti’s fiction seeks to reconstruct Cameroon’s identity.

Title: Ethics and Social Transformation: AI Narratives in African Anglophone Literature

ABSTRACT: This paper explores narratives of artificial intelligence in African anglophone literature, focusing on their concern with ethics and social transformation. While Western science fiction has long dominated AI narratives, more and more African writers are also contributing to this genre, offering distinct perspectives that blend local myths, folklore, and historical narratives with futuristic technology. By analyzing works by prominent African science fiction authors like Tade Thompson, Dilman Dila, Nicky Drayden, Deji Bryce Olukotun, Lauren Beukes, and Nnedi Okorafor, this paper examines how AI narratives address the complex ethical dilemmas posed by advanced technologies, and their potential to bring about societal changes.

Title: Deconstructing Colonial Discourse and Constructing Diverse Images of Africa: On the Contemporary Zimbabwean Parody “African Laughter”

ABSTRACT: As a parody of Doris Lessing’s classic memoir African Laughter: Four Visits to Zimbabwe, the remarkable short story “African Laughter” by Rory Kilalea, a contemporary Zimbabwean white author, mocks the domination and solidification of stereotypical African images by the colonial discourse of “monologue.” With its rich comic spirit, the story implies and debunks the colonial discourse rooted in Western ideology and culture that led to the traumatic history and current predicament of Zimbabwe. The story endows “African laughter” with the function of conveying the diverse images of Africa. It is thus not only a signifier of the vibrant, intelligent, confident, and hopeful African continent displayed in the “heroes,” but also a nod to the flexible survival wisdom of the “antiheroes” who confront their plight with merry laughter and angry curses, highlighting the aesthetic value and cognitive significance of comic literature in an African literary arena dominated by tragedy/quasi-tragedy.

Title: Chinese Mirrors: Cross-Cultural Writing in John Steinbeck’s Novels

ABSTRACT: Culture is not only the soul of a nation and its people but also a vital bridge between civilizations. In his literary works, John Steinbeck employs a unique cross-cultural perspective to transcend the barriers of race, nationality, and ideology, exploring the human condition and addressing pressing social issues. This study focuses on two of his seminal works, Cannery Row and East of Eden, analyzing them within their specific social contexts and within an internationalized framework. It examines the role and literary function of Chinese cultural elements in Steinbeck’s narratives.

重访现实主义

 —兼论形式批评与文学社会历史批评之辨

刘　洋　王守仁

内容提要：现实主义常被认为是特定历史时期的文学概念，文学与现实之间的联系也屡遭质疑和轻视。本文重新审视当代现实主义批评史，发掘出贯穿其中的两条学理路径：其一是形式批评，它关注作品的组构原则和语言要素，认为现实主义是简单直白的文学形式，意在制造指涉幻象；其二是文学社会历史批评，它考察共时性的生活瞬间，并将其置于历时性的社会历史中彰显其意义与价值。本文发现，现实主义冲动是当代现实主义研究关键词，循此可以反思文学历史分期，认识到现实主义在现代主义和后现代主义中的延续性。本文提出，现实主义冲动是文学与社会历史发生关联的内在动能，普遍存在于文学的各历史时期，呼唤文学社会历史批评的实践对其进行阐释和解读。

Title: Revisiting Realism and Making a Case for the Differentiation between Formal Criticism and Socio-historical Literary Criticism

ABSTRACT: Realism has often been regarded as a literary concept designating a specific historical period, and the connection between literature and reality is often questioned and overlooked. This article presents a survey of the contemporary criticism of realism, bringing to light two approaches to the topic: formal criticism, which focuses on the work’s principle of composition as well as its verbal elements, concluding that realism is a simplistic and straightforward literary style aimed at creating referential illusions; and socio-historical literary criticism, which examines the synchronic moment of life while embedding it in diachronic socio-history to reveal its meanings and values. This article argues for the “realist impulse” as a key term in contemporary realist studies; this term enables a reflection on historical periodization and a recognition of the continuity of realism in modernism and postmodernism. The article argues that the realist impulse is an internal dynamic which brings the literary into contact with the socio-historical, and its permeation into every stage of literary history calls for interpretations and explications by socio-historical literary criticism.

《水刀》的资源困境与“水利社会”难题

王一平

内容提要：幻想型作品通常以现实的“第一世界”为基点，设计出虚构的“第二世界”；并采用如预言式的“推测”和压缩提炼性的“世界缩影”等手法，来呈现第一世界的社会历史经验。当代美国作家保罗·巴奇加卢皮的科幻小说《水刀》就典型地体现了此种思想实验式的书写策略。小说以“水资源”为聚焦对象，想象了美国西南部各州围绕“水权”展开的斗争。由于建设这些处于干旱区域的人造“西部王国”需要汇聚大量的劳动力，而劳动力又服从于少数精英的操控，便造就了一种高压专制的“水利社会”。在描绘这一西部“水利社会”时，《水刀》采用的推演、缩影等方法，生动地展现出科幻小说在映射现实时的独特创作手法和审美效果。

Title: Socio-historical Perspectives on Water Resources and the Hydraulic Society in The Water Knife

ABSTRACT: Fantasy works usually take the real “primary world” as a base and design a fictional “secondary world.” Fantasy novels adopt certain unique techniques, such as the prophetic-extrapolative model and compressed world reduction, to present the social experience of the primary world. The science fiction novel The Water Knife by contemporary American writer Paul Bacigalupi is a typical example of this thought-experimental writing strategy. The novel focuses on water, a natural resource, and imagines a struggle over water ownership among the southwestern states of the United States. Since the construction of the magnificent Western kingdom in an arid environment requires many laborers, and since these laborers are subject to the manipulation of a few elites, a despotic political system and “hydraulic society” have been created. In depicting this hydraulic society, The Water Knife uses the extrapolative model and world reduction to map reality, which shows the unique creative techniques and aesthetic effects of science fiction in reflecting real society and history.

Keywords: Paolo Bacigalupi, The Water Knife, extrapolative model, world reduction,

鲍勃·迪伦歌曲文学化的社会历史批评路径

杨湃湃

内容提要：文学社会历史批评主张审美形式与社会历史的动态互构，既不把文学作品视为对特定时期社会的机械反映，也不是割裂艺术与现实的形式批评，为分析美国诗人/歌手鲍勃·迪伦作品的文学化事件提供了范式。迪伦将美国民权运动促生的象征资本融入其作品，引起非裔美国人、工人、反文化青年、学术界等不同社群的情感共鸣，同时以具有意义不确定性的歌词以及反讽的表演“面具”消解了象征资本的合法性，实现超越社群立场之争的结构性社会批判。对美国现实的能动表现使迪伦的歌曲突破了流行文化与严肃文学之间的藩篱，实现审美自主基础上的社会介入，显示出文学社会历史批评的强大阐释力。

Title: The Socio-historical Approach to the Literarization of Bob Dylan’s Songs

ABSTRACT: Socio-historical literary criticism emphasizes dynamic interactions between aesthetic forms and socio-historical contexts, challenging the reduction of literary works to a mechanical reflection of society and a formalism that isolates art from reality. This framework provides an effective approach to analyzing how American poet-singer Bob Dylan’s songs achieve literarization. By integrating symbolic capital generated during the American Civil Rights Movement into his songs, Dylan creates affective resonances among different communities, including African Americans, workers, countercultural youth, and academics. Simultaneously, he deconstructs the legitimacy of such symbolic capital through ambiguous lyrics and ironic performing “masks,” thereby launching a structural social critique transcending community divisions. His creative representation of American realities bridges the gap between popular culture and serious literature, and achieves social engagement grounded in artistic autonomy, thus demonstrating the strong interpretive power of socio-historical literary criticism.

Title: Frank Kermode on the Interrelation Between Poetry and Dance

ABSTRACT: Frank Kermode, a distinguished British critic in the twentieth century, takes an interdisciplinary approach to modern poetry criticism. In his writings, he regards modern poets’ dance “craze” as an important source for modern poetry, and he elucidates the shaping significance of modern dancers and their dances in constructing modern poetic images by analyzing how modern poets use modern dance aesthetics in their poetry creation. Kermode’s study of the interrelation between poetry and dance not only explains the genesis of modern poetry but also offers new directions for poetry criticism.

后批判：理论构成与方法论

林　敏

内容提要：芮塔·菲尔斯基提出的“后批判”是当下西方文论研究的重要概念。菲尔斯基以对“怀疑的阐释学”的解构来审视批判在文学研究中的应用与实践，重申理论中批判的限度。为了矫正过于强调批判的理性方面而忽视其情感方面的理论倾向，菲尔斯基以新现象学来揭示批判本身内蕴的情感维度，以“依附”来探讨读者和作品之间的多种关系形式。菲尔斯基将“行动者网络理论”作为后批判的方法论，将社会学理论与文学研究相嫁接，提出了“行动者网络理论式阅读”和“行动者网络理论式批评”两种新的阅读和批评模式。后批判对于思考文学研究的基本概念、理论方法和未来走向具有重要的启发意义和借鉴价值。

Title: Postcritique: Theoretical Constitution and Methodology

ABSTRACT: The concept of postcritique, proposed by Rita Felski, has become a critical aspect of contemporary Western literary theory. Through deconstructing a hermeneutics of suspicion Felski scrutinizes the application and practice of critique in literary studies. Reaffirming the limits of critique in theory becomes the theoretical appeal of postcritique. In order to correct the theoretical tendency to over-emphasize the rational aspect of critique and to neglect its affective aspect, Felski stresses the affective and relational dimensions of postcritique, reveals the affective dimension embedded in critique itself by means of neo-phenomenology, and explores various forms of relation between the reader and the work by means of attachment. Felski takes the actor-network theory as postcritique’s methodology and sociologically transforms traditional literary studies, forming two new modes of reading and criticism: ANT-ish reading and ANT-ish criticism. Postcritique has significance for thinking about the basic concepts, theoretical methods, and future trends of literary studies.

Title: Postcritical Approaches to Appreciating Works of Art: On the Question of “Attunement” in Ali Smith’s How to Be Both

ABSTRACT: The term “attunement” refers to a dynamic “responsive relationship” between a work of art and its audience, aiming to describe the process by which individualsestablish and continuously adjust their mental and emotional interactions with various art forms, such as literature, music, and painting. In How to Be Both, Ali Smith employs a dual narrative structure, nuanced sensory descriptions, ekphrastic depictions of paintings, and distinctive book formatting to present a multidimensional aesthetic experience of reciprocal entanglements between characters and artworks, thus offering a postcritical approach to literary reading and art appreciation. This paper introduces the concept of “attunement” and examines, through three dimensions — aesthetic time, presence, and agency — how Smith’s work engages in a theoretical dialogue with Rita Felski’s ideas on reshaping the reader-text relationship, affirming the agency of artworks and exploring new models and practices of reading.

丘吉尔《远方》中的生态哲学思想

黄晓露

内容提要：英国剧作家卡里尔·丘吉尔的剧作《远方》呈现出人类与自然之间古老等级制度的后人类扁平化现象。剧中，人类不仅与熟悉又陌生的动物建立了强制性联结，还同超时空量级的生态人文景观发生互动，共同形成了复杂的网状纠缠。这种互动直接触发了暗黑自然的真实面貌，进而展现出剧作对新型人类主体样态—“次主体”的前瞻性思考。通过“深潜”进入自然的内部互动维度，丘吉尔笔下的次主体积极勾勒出人类与其他生态实体未来共存的基本逻辑：它倡导从超主体对超越性的追求中解耦，摈弃人类中心主义带来的控制幻觉，转向植根于敬畏和谦逊的生态哲学思想。同时，次主体也鼓励人类利用自身有限能动性装置积极参与各式生态联结，通过持续互动与试错在全球性生态衰败中寻求新的立足点。

Title: The Ecological Philosophy in Caryl Churchill’s Far Away

ABSTRCT: British playwright Caryl Churchill’s work Far Away presents a posthuman flattening of the ancient hierarchical system between humans and nature. In the play, humans not only establish forced connections with both familiar and strange animals but also interact with ecological and cultural landscapes of a hyper-temporal scale, jointly creating complex entanglements. These interactions directly unveil the true face of dark nature, subsequently offering a forward-looking contemplation of a new type of human subjectivity: the “hyposubjects.” Through “subscendence” into the internal interactive dimensions of nature, Churchill’s hyposubjects actively outline the basic logic of future coexistence between humans and other ecological entities. The play advocates disentanglement from the hypersubject’s pursuit of transcendence, abandoning the isolation and control illusion brought by anthropocentrism and shifting towards an ecological philosophy rooted in awe and humility. The notion of hyposubject also encourages humans to actively engage in various ecological connections using their limited agency, employing continuous interaction and trial-and-error to find new footholds amidst global ecological decline.
