《神经漫游者》中科学技术的生命伦理悖论

孙　宇　王佳鑫

内容提要：科学技术对人类和社会的影响是生命伦理学领域的重要议题。生命伦理学为科技与人文的对话提供场域，为狂飙突进的技术创新锚定人文坐标，在伦理思辨中探寻科技向善的可行路径。威廉·吉布森1984年出版的作品《神经漫游者》同新兴科学技术息息相关，其中构想的人类生命安全等问题已在现实中有迹可循。本文将从生命伦理学视角出发，检视小说所揭示的数智时代下的三重伦理断裂—效用逻辑主导下的身体缺位、违背行善避恶原则的身体殖民，以及漠视“人是目的”原则的工具化倾向，尝试破解新兴科学技术引发的生命伦理难题。

Title: The Bioethical Paradox of Science and Technology in Neuromancer

ABSTRACT: The influence of science and technology on humanity and society is a crucial topic in bioethics. Bioethics provides a field for dialogue between technology and the humanities, anchors humanistic coordinates for rapid technological innovation, and explores feasible paths for technology to do good through ethical reflection. William Gibson’s Neuromancer (1984) is closely related to emerging science and technology. The issues it raises, such as safety of human life, already have traces in the real world. From the perspective of bioethics, this paper examines three ethical fractures in the digital intelligence era as revealed by this novel, namely, bodily absence due to utility logic, bodily colonization against the principle of doing good and avoiding evil, and instrumentalization disregarding the ethical principle of “humanity as an end.” The paper thereby aims to address the bioethical challenges arising from emerging science and technology.

《在路上》中爱尔兰性的流动与重塑

曹　波　陶丽丽

内容提要：杰克·凯鲁亚克的小说《在路上》剖析了二战后不同族裔美国青年的精神状态及人生追求，其中旅行者埃迪的形象因留白较多，在国内外均未得到深入探究。笔者认为，埃迪的形象是二战后爱尔兰裔美国人自我形塑的外在呈现，映射出爱尔兰裔形象在美国社会的历史嬗变：由早期“舞台爱尔兰人”的刻板形象，至20世纪初与主流白人同质化的形象，再到二战后对现代消费主义秩序进行抵抗与反叛的形象。凯鲁亚克通过对埃迪形象的简约刻画，展现了美国爱尔兰性在不同时期的流动性与重构过程，揭示了爱尔兰裔美国人与美国反文化运动之间隐秘而深刻的关联。以爱尔兰性为切入点，不仅能打开通往美国爱尔兰流散文学的大门，更是解锁美国文化多样性与复杂性的一个重要维度。

Title: The Mobility and Reconstruction of Irishness in On the Road

ABSTRACT: In the novel On the Road, Jack Kerouac describes the spiritual states and pursuits of young Americans of different ethnicities after World War II. The image of Eddie, an Irish American traveler, has not been systematically explored due to the limited description of this character in the novel. However, Eddie’s image is the externalization of Irish American self-fashioning after World War II, reflecting the historical evolution of the image of the Irish American: from the rigid “stage Irishman” in the early phase, to that of homogenization with mainstream whites in the early twentieth century, and finally to that of resistance and rebellion against modern consumerism after World War II. Through his concise characterization of Eddie, Kerouac presents the mobility and reconstruction of Irish Americans in different periods and reveals the latent relationship between Irish Americans and the American counterculture movement. With the Irish perspective as a key, we can open the treasure house of Irish American diaspora literature and unlock an important dimension of American cultural diversity and complexity.

约翰·巴思“歌剧—小说”中的跨媒介性指涉

郭戎荣 鲍忠明

内容提要：美国后现代作家约翰·巴思在小说《漂浮的歌剧》与《曾经沧海：一出漂浮的歌剧》中对歌剧的典型艺术特征—音乐性、表演性和叙述性的跨媒介性融合—进行了创造性借鉴、吸收与转化。两部“歌剧—小说”的音乐性体现于音乐内容的显性指涉与音乐形式的隐性指涉；表演性的呈现依托于对人物的身体与主观能动性的书写、文本的视觉设计和空间隐喻以及观演互动中的读者意识与不可靠叙事。经由此歌剧两特质的文本融合，结合歌剧与小说共有的叙事性特点，巴思自反性地挖掘小说“书面文字”媒介特征：严谨呈现经验生活中的抽象感知、打破时空限制以浓缩历史文化内涵以及以“元小说”的形式摆脱单一主体叙事。巴思的跨媒介创思模糊了文学与批评的界限，成就其小说特有的虚构真实性。

Title: Intermedial References in John Barth’s “Opera-Fiction”

ABSTRACT: In his novels The Floating Opera and Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera, American postmodernist writer John Barth creatively draws on, absorbs, and transforms one of the quintessential artistic features of opera, namely, the intermedial fusion of musicality, performativity, and narrativity. The musicality of the two “opera fictions” is displayed in the explicit references to musical content and implicit references to musical form. The presentation of performativity avails itself of characters’ body writing and subjective mobility, of the visual design and spatial metaphors of the text, and of reader awareness and unreliable narratives in spectatorial interactions. Through the textual integration of the first two operatic specificities, based upon the common narrative features of opera and novel, Barth self-reflexively explores the characteristics of “the written words”: the rigorous incarnation of abstract perception in experienced life, the breaking of spatiotemporal limitations to condense historical and cultural essence, and the deviation from single-subject narratives with the initiation of “metafiction.” This inter-art gesture blurs the boundary between literature and criticism to highlight the fictional authenticity of Barth’s novels.

Title: The Realm of Chan in Robert Wilson’s Play H—100 Seconds to Midnight

ABSTRACT: H—100 Seconds to Midnight, a play directed by American theatre master Robert Wilson, presented a cosmic rhapsody at the 2023 China Wuzhen Theatre Festival, in which Stephen Hawking, a scientist afflicted by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), wanders through the universe and explores the mysteries of time and space with his rich imagination as the doomsday clock ticks towards the final 100 seconds before midnight. The play’s scenography evokes cosmic unconsciousness by transcending time and space and by connecting human and non-human; its soundscape interprets no-thought, non-form, and non-abiding with affective forms of sound; and its performance emphasizes the ongoing interactions between performers and audiences. By analyzing these topics, this paper probes into the realm of Chan, embodied in cosmic unconsciousness, .ūnyatā, and enlightenment, respectively, and it identifies the influence of non-duality on Wilson’s new dramaturgy. In the posthuman era when the earth is at stake, this intercultural performance, drawing inspiration from the communication of Eastern and Western cultures, releases its political potential to bridge cultural divides and address global crises.

论金斯伯格诗歌中的大路旅行及其文化隐喻

张桃红　田俊武

内容提要：美国“垮掉派”代表诗人艾伦·金斯伯格一直是学界关注的重点，然而其诗歌中的旅行叙事一直受到批评家的忽视。旅行是理解社会现实的关键元素，也是人类获取经验和实现自我求索的重要载体。在金斯伯格笔下，被种族主义裹挟的少数族裔无法在既有的生活中找到存在意义和价值认同，通过城市漫游等大路旅行行为展开对所处文化的审视以及多元文化身份想象，其行为在本质上是一种探寻生命价值和寻求身份认同的精神之旅。因此，探讨金斯伯格诗歌中的大路旅行，揭露其背后的文化隐喻，可以展现金斯伯格对美国少数族裔生存意义及其肩负伦理责任的哲学思考。

Title: On the Open Road Journey and Its Cultural Metaphors in Allen Ginsberg’s Poetry

ABSTRACT: Allen Ginsberg, a representative writer of the American Beat Generation, has long been the focus of academic attention, but the journey narrative in his poetry has been ignored by critics. Journey is a key element in understanding social reality and an important carrier for human beings to gain experience and realize self-fulfillment. In Ginsberg’s poetry, ethnic minorities trapped by racism fail to find the meaning of existence or cultivate meaningful values. Therefore, through open road journeys such as city roaming, they launch an examination into urban culture and deploy their imagination of multicultural identity, which is in essence a spiritual journey to explore the value of life and seek the recognition of identity. Discussing the open road journey in Ginsberg’s poetry and its cultural metaphors can reveal the author’s philosophical thinking on the existential significance of American ethnic minorities and their ethical responsibility.

《发条女孩》中食物危机与食物政治的未来想象

杨　梅

内容提要：保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《发条女孩》通过描绘一个因基因改造和种子专利化而陷入食物危机的未来世界，深刻揭示了科技进步背后的异化现象及其对人类生存的威胁。本文从基因技术霸权下的食物危机、危机背后的权力机制以及食物正义困境下的伦理选择三个维度，分析了小说中食物书写的多重意义。基因改造技术的滥用导致食物从自然资源转变为商品和权力的象征，引发了生物多样性丧失和瘟疫肆虐。寡头公司通过控制转基因种子和生物技术，使食物成为权力斗争的工具，加剧了社会不平等和边缘群体的生存困境。食物危机不仅暴露了环境正义的系统性缺失，更凸显了通过生态经济学重构和代际食物教育体系建设来实现粮食主权、促进可持续发展的必要性。

Tittle: The Future Imagination of Food Crisis and Food Politics in The Windup Girl

ABSTRACT: Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl depicts a future world plagued by food crises due to genetic modification and seed patenting, profoundly revealing the alienation behind technological progress and its threats to human survival. This paper analyzes the multifaceted significance of food representation in the novel from three dimensions: the food crisis under the hegemony of genetic technology, the power mechanisms behind the crisis, and the ethical choices in the dilemma of food justice. The misuse of genetic modification transforms food from a natural resource into a symbol of commodities and power, leading to biodiversity loss and rampant plagues. Food becomes a tool of power struggle, as oligopolistic corporations control genetically modified seeds and biotechnology, exacerbating social inequality and the survival struggles of marginalized groups. The food crisis not only reveals the systemic deficiency of environmental justice, but also highlights the necessity of reconstructing ecological economics and establishing intergenerational food education systems to achieve food sovereignty and promote sustainable development.

Title: Gerontological Narrative in John Updike’s Short Story Collection My Father’s Tears

ABSTRACT: In his last collection of short stories, My Father’s Tears, contemporary American writer John Updike focuses on the theme of aging and develops narratives from the perspective of the elderly. This article, drawing on interdisciplinary theoretical terms such as literary gerontology and geriatric narrative medicine, analyzes two patterns of the elderly narrative foreclosures in My Father’s Tears from the dimensions of the past and the future. It further explores Updike’s elderly narrative features, including elderly theme reconstruction and current “moments,” illustrating Updike’s literary attempts to break the foreclosed state of the elderly and search for a path of elderly narrative empowerment.

《萨丁—莱格斯·史密斯的星期天》中黑人青年

男子的佐特装服饰政治与共同体想象

内容提要：长诗《萨丁—莱格斯·史密斯的星期天》中，佐特装是统摄黑人都市青年男子史密斯身体政治的核心隐喻。作为流行于美国少数族裔底层青年群体的一种时尚体系，佐特装不仅表达着黑人青年群体共享的文化趣味、生活方式和价值理念，也标志着他们对特定共同体的所属关系。本文结合战时美国对少数族裔和底层社会的排斥性语境，分析史密斯如何借助佐特装的符号元素使自己的身体风格化，在支配性话语中协调自己的族裔、阶级和青年群体的共同体建构，并对美国的白人至上主义和中产阶级价值观的文化领导权进行象征性抵抗。

Title: Zoot Suit Politics and Community Imagination of the Black Youth in “The Sundays of Satin-Legs Smith”

ABSTRACT: The zoot suit serves as a central metaphor for the body politics of Smith, a Black urban youth, in Gwendolyn Brooks’s long poem “The Sundays of Satin-Legs Smith.” As a fashion item formerly popular among minority youths from the lower social strata in the US, the zoot suit expresses not only the shared cultural tastes, lifestyles, and values of African American youth but also their sense of belonging to specific imagined communities. Against the backdrop of wartime USA’s exclusionary discourses toward minority groups and the working class, this paper analyzes how Smith uses the zoot suit’s symbolic elements to stylize his body; negotiate the construction of ethnic, class, and youth communities in relation to dominant discourses; and symbolically resist the cultural hegemony of white supremacy and middle-class values.

Title: Approaching the Narrative Features in Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

ABSTRACT: Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books is the first literary work written by the Iranian-American writer Azar Nafisi, who employs the mise en ab.me technique and constructs a labyrinthine narrative structure to convey different facts and events against the historical background. This essay explores his fictional narrative art by analyzing the memoir’s unique narrative structure and mise en ab.me storytelling technique, and the realistic function of the unique narrative structure, for the purpose of demonstrating that the book is a fictional work, not simply a memoir in the traditional sense. It is Nafisi’s reinvention of a literary genre.

《埃苏与流浪的吟游歌手》中权力话语的博弈与重构

黄　坚　王紫维

内容提要：尼日利亚戏剧《埃苏与流浪的吟游歌手》蕴含着强烈的权力话语冲突。这种冲突不仅是该剧的突出特征，更是20世纪中后期非洲政治转型进程的生动镜像。费米·奥索菲桑在剧中构建起社会各阶层话语权力关系图谱，对当时尼日利亚的社会现实展开了深刻批判。本研究以剧中人奥米莱为轴心，借助话语分析和权力理论，从权力话语的“控制者”“挑战者”“重构者”三个维度，系统且深入地剖析剧中话语与权力的建构模式。研究发现，奥索菲桑通过对约鲁巴神话的再阐释，不仅展现出解构旧有权力话语体系的理论意图，更彰显出重构个人与民族身份认同的深层诉求。剧作家围绕核心人物，在文本叙事、角色塑造和文化隐喻三个层面展开构建，最终实现了对权力话语的创造性重构，为非洲戏剧在权力话语表达和文化身份探索方面提供了重要的创作范例与理论启示。

Title: The Contestation and Reconstruction of Power Discourse in Esu and the Vagabond Minstrels

ABSTRACT: The Nigerian drama Esu and the Vagabond Minstrels by Femi Osofisan is replete with remarkable conflicts of power discourse. These conflicts not only represent a salient feature of the drama but also vividly reflect the process of political transformation in Africa during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Osofisan employs the dramatic text to construct a diagram of the discursive power relations among different social strata, thereby launching a profound critique of the social reality of Nigeria at that time. This research centers around the character Omele. By leveraging discursive analysis and power theory, it delves systematically and comprehensively into the construction of discourse and power within the play from three dimensions: the “controller,” the “challenger,” and the “reconstructor” of power discourse. The study reveals that through his reinterpretation of Yoruba mythology, Osofisan not only manifests his theoretical intent to deconstruct the existing system of power discourse, but also showcases his deep-seated desire to reconstruct individual and national identity. The playwright constructs the drama around the core characters at three levels: textual narration, character portrayal, and cultural metaphor, and ultimately accomplishes the creative reconfiguration of power discourse, thus providing a good example of African drama that concerns itself with such matters.

内容提要：迈克尔·翁达杰在《安尼尔的鬼魂》中突出了隐藏在考古过程中的历史文化和地缘政治力量。小说中的考古叙事成为揭示民族记忆与历史真相的重要载体。本文将考古学作为揭示历史的方法，从考古挖掘、考古修复与遗址重建三个维度阐释小说中斯里兰卡民族韧性的深层内涵。通过分析现代骨骸的物质证据、面容修复所体现的文化主权以及点睛仪式所蕴含的艺术救赎，文章旨在探讨斯里兰卡如何在民族历史符号、民族记忆重现与民族精神传承的交织中重建民族韧性。由此，考古叙事不仅成为理解过去的关键途径，更成为重塑未来的重要手段，展现了斯里兰卡在后殖民战争阴影下所体现出的民族韧性，寓言着国家在废墟中的重生与复兴。

Title: A Study of Archaeological Narrative and National Resilience in Anil’s Ghost

ABSTRACT: Michael Ondaatje highlights the sociocultural and geopolitical forces embedded in the archaeological process in Anil’s Ghost. In this novel, archaeological narrative is a vital conduit for revealing national memory and historical truth. This article employs archaeology as a method for uncovering history, and elucidates the connotations of Sri Lankan national resilience through archaeological excavation, restoration, and site reconstruction. By examining the material evidence from modern skeletal remains, the cultural sovereignty in facial renewal, and artistic redemption in the eye-dotting rituals, it explores how Sri Lanka has rebuilt national resilience through symbolic codes of national history, the reawakening of national memory, and the enduring legacy of national spirit. The archaeological narrative thus bridges past understanding and future reshaping, revealing the national resilience demonstrated by Sri Lanka in the shadow of postcolonial war, and symbolizing the nation’s rebirth and revival.

Title: On Three Aspects of Paulina Chiziane’s Novels

ABSTRACT: Paulina Chiziane, the first female writer in Mozambique to publish novels, won the Prémio Cam.es in 2021, a distinction that has drawn increased academic attention to African Portuguese literature. Her novels, rooted in African realities and set in a postcolonial society, feature Africanism, a consciousness of mixed dialogue, and female subjectivity. They explore the crisis of Black cultural identity and illuminate paths toward its reconstruction. These works are not only of great literary value, but also of practical significance: they truly reflect and profoundly portray the challenges and contradictions the nation faces and, in doing so, help to break the thinking pattern of postcolonial dualism and present a more genuine image of contemporary Africa.

危机时代的生存哲学：《小城与不确定性的墙》的

创作范式与时代隐喻

郑季文

内容提要：《小城与不确定性的墙》是村上春树最新发表的长篇小说，是对其43年前旧作的改写。村上春树为何要改写这部旧作？学界对此有不同看法。本文认为该作品通过“自我致敬”的手法回顾了作家早年的多部作品，这是对其过往创作范式的总结和展示。在此基础上，村上春树探讨了疫情、死亡与危机等隐喻当下时代的主题，进而实现了对以往创作范式的突破。在新创作范式中，小说的意义衍生机制从静态走向动态的“不确定性”，由此揭示出一个重要观点：真实并不存在于一成不变中，而是存在于不断演变和推移之中，这正是一种危机时代的生存哲学。然而这种强调相对性的后现代立场，暴露出其难以超越新自由主义意识形态的根本困境。

Title: The Philosophy of Existence in an Age of Crisis: Artistic Paradigm and Metaphors of the Era in The City and Its Uncertain Walls

ABSTRACT: Haruki Murakami’s latest novel, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, is a reworking of his unpublished manuscript from 43 years ago. Why did Murakami revisit this unpublished work? Scholarly opinions on this issue vary. This paper argues that the novel employs a self-referential technique to revisit motifs and narrative strategies from Murakami’s earlier works, thereby synthesizing and showcasing his lifelong artistic paradigms. Through this approach, Murakami not only explores themes such as pandemic, death, and crisis—metaphorical reflections on our contemporary era—but also transcends his previous artistic paradigms. The new paradigm shifts the novel’s mechanism of meaning generation from a static structure to one grounded in dynamic uncertainty, positing that truth does not reside in static permanence but in constant evolution and flux. It thus proposes a philosophy of existence for an age of crisis. However, Murakami’s postmodern emphasis on relativism reveals its fundamental predicament: an inability to transcend the constraints of neoliberal ideology.

“温室” 与“森林”： 《地球尽头的温室》中的

植物意象与女性书写

 朴银姬　毕娇娇

内容提要： 《地球尽头的温室》以“温室”与“森林”两大空间意象为核心支柱，展现了“植物—女性”书写的独特路径。“温室”包含人工、局限、封闭等多重内蕴，代表着以技术理性与物种等级为基础的救赎逻辑；“森林”则具有原始、流动、开放之特征，体现出对多物种共存、生态复原与非人类主体性的重新肯认。植物与女性在两大空间的共现与互动，揭示了人类从控制到开放、从隔离到融合的生态认知转向，彰显出作者对未来生态伦理与生命共同体建构的深刻思考。

Title: “Greenhouse” and “Forest”: Plant Imagery and Female Writing in The Greenhouse

at the End of the Earth

ABSTRACT: The Greenhouse at the End of the Earth takes the dual spatial imagery of the “greenhouse” and the “forest” as its central narrative framework, presenting a unique “plant-female” mode of writing. The “greenhouse” embodies artificiality, limitation and enclosure, symbolizing a redemptive logic based on technological rationality and species hierarchy. In contrast, the “forest” represents primitiveness, fluidity, and openness, reflecting a renewed affirmation of multispecies coexistence, ecological restoration, and non-human subjectivity. The co-existence of plants and women within these two spaces reveals a shift in ecological cognition—from control to openness, and from isolation to integration—and it reflects the author’s profound contemplation of future ecological ethics and the construction of a community of life.

华裔未来主义与儒家生态伦理的跨文明对话

 徐　刚

内容提要：在全球生态危机与技术异化背景下，当代美国华裔科幻文学以“华裔未来主义”为叙事范式，通过发掘儒家生态伦理的现代性价值，展开对西方中心主义与技术理性的双重批判。本文以鲍嘉璐《鸽子飞升》为核心研究文本，结合特德·姜、刘宇昆等作家作品，揭示华裔未来主义如何通过儒家 “天人合一”、 “仁者爱人”与“厚德载物”的三重伦理框架，构建融合东方哲学与后人类特质的生态话语体系。研究表明，华裔科幻文学通过儒家伦理的跨文明译写，既解构了西方社会中的自然、社会、精神三重生态危机，又以“差异共生”的生态正义观为技术异化时代的伦理范式转型提供东方方案，彰显了非西方主体性话语对重构全球生态治理理论的意义。

Title: An Intercultural Dialogue Between Chinese American Futurism and Confucian Ecological Ethics

ABSTRACT: Amidst the global ecological crisis and technological alienation, contemporary Chinese American science fiction employs futurism as a narrative paradigm to critique Western-centrism and technological rationality by excavating the modern value of Confucian ecological ethics. Focusing on Karen Bao’s Dove Arising and drawing on works by Ted Chiang, Ken Liu, and others, this paper reveals how Chinese American futurism constructs an ecological discourse integrating Eastern philosophy with posthuman traits through the tripartite Confucian ethical framework of “unity of heaven and humanity,” “benevolence and care for others,” and “virtue of tolerance and inclusiveness.” The study demonstrates that by translating Confucian ethics, Chinese American science fiction not only deconstructs the three ecological crises (natural, social, and spiritual) inherent in Western modernity, but also proposes an Eastern alternative for ethical paradigm shifts in an age of technological alienation through differentiated symbiosis, a concept of ecological justice. This underscores the significance of non-Western subjective discourse in reconstructing theories of global ecological governance.

论博纳富瓦的诗画思想及其中国元素

  唐　毅

内容提要：作为当代法国重要的诗人和批评家，伊夫·博纳富瓦打破了诗歌、艺术与哲学间的界限，在继承西方“诗如画”传统的基础上反思古代“摹仿”“图像”等理念的局限性。同时，他从中国传统文化中获得关于整体、和谐、顿悟、在场等维度的深层启示，在诗歌创作和文艺批评中抵达诗画一体的全新境界，最终建构起具有延续性、内在性和多元性的诗画思想。这一独特的诗画思想既是映照其诗歌创作历程的一面镜子，也是其文艺批评实践的显在特征，表现出诗人批评家承续古今、贯通中西的新写作范式。

Title: On Yves Bonnefoy’s Ideas on Poetry and Painting and Their Chinese Elements

ABSTRACT: As an important contemporary French poet and critic, Yves Bonnefoy breaks the boundaries between poetry, art, and philosophy, and reflects on the limitations of the ancient concepts of mimesis and image in relation to the Western tradition of ut pictura poesis. At the same time, he gains deep insights into the dimensions of entirety, harmony, epiphany, and presence from traditional Chinese culture, and arrives at a new realm of unity between poetry and painting in his poetic creation and literary and artistic criticism, ultimately constructing a poetic and pictorial ideology of continuity, inherence, and plurality. This unique vision of poetry and painting is not only a mirror reflecting the process of his poetic creation, but also a distinctive feature of his literary and artistic criticism, demonstrating the poet-critic’s new writing paradigm of continuity between the past and the present, and integration of the East and the West.

作为辩护的羞耻

—论凯特·格伦维尔两部历史小说中的白人羞耻

王雪峰

内容提要：澳大利亚小说家凯特·格伦维尔的历史小说《神秘的河流》与《萨拉·索尼尔》以祖先事迹为原型，展开了索尼尔家族跨越两代的故事。两部小说都出版于澳大利亚和解运动期间，这不仅对应马伯裁决之后白人试图表达忏悔的艰难历程，更突显羞耻对自我的遮掩性所导致的模糊地带。本文认为，两部小说呈现出三类白人羞耻，分别与流放、屠杀以及代际传递相关联，这不仅体现出威廉与萨拉等人物的伦理模糊，更指向澳大利亚和解运动的历史困境，即羞耻实则使白人定居者转向自身，从而形成辩护。

Title: Shame as Apologia: White Shame in Kate Grenville’s Two History-Based Novels

ABSTRACT: Kate Grenville’s The Secret River and Sarah Thornhill use the author’s ancestor as a prototype to tell the story of the Thornhill family over two generations. The two novels, published during Australia’s Reconciliation Movement, not only reflect the difficult journey of White Australians’ expression of remorse after the Mabo Decision, but also highlight the ambiguous space caused by the self-concealing nature of shame. This paper argues that the two novels demonstrate three types of white shame associated with convictism, massacre, and intergenerational transmission. It not only illustrates the ethical ambiguity in characters such as William and Sarah but also points to the historical dilemma underlying Australia’s Reconciliation Movement, wherein shame turns white settlers back to themselves, thus forming an apologia.

Title: Medical Ethics Critique and Post-Pastoral Narrative in The Cement Garden

ABSTRACT: This essay examines Ian McEwan’s The Cement Garden, focusing particularly on the use of medical imagery and taboo narrative. It reveals the double dilemmas of nature and humanity by situating the novel within the British post-pastoral literary tradition. Through explicit descriptions of concrete-encased corpses and incest, the novel exposes the dual degradation of natural divinity and humanity under industrial logic, as medical epistemic violence reduces life to technological objects, and the failure of transgressive bodies reveals the normative society’s capacity to assimilate and discipline. Ultimately, the novel unveils the alienation of both nature and humanity in the industrial society.

领地权、“英国家园”、烟草： 《英属弗吉尼亚》中

植物对新大陆的征服

骆　雨

内容提要：在玛丽安·摩尔的诗歌中，植物不仅是生命的象征，更是文化、权力与身份延续的载体。《英属弗吉尼亚》以植物为视角，生动再现了英国定居者早期入侵并征服新大陆的历史进程，展现其从土地占领到英式家园的塑造、殖民秩序的确立，再到依托烟草种植实现文化、政治与经济全面掌控的扩张野心。植物景观在诗中并非自然的产物，而是人类精心构建的历史铭刻，象征着殖民化的物质基础。摩尔的诗作赋予植物叙事的力量，重新审视殖民历史的复杂性，深刻反思历史叙述中的虚伪与偏见，并揭示种族与阶级矛盾的历史根源，为理解当代社会问题提供了深刻的历史视角。

Title: Property, “English Settlements,” and Tobacco: The Plant Conquest of the New World in “Virginia Britannia”

ABSTRACT: In Marianne Moore’s poetry, plants serve not merely as symbols of life, but as vehicles for the perpetuation of culture, power, and identity. In “Virginia Britannia,”Moore employs botanical perspectives to vividly reconstruct the historical process of early British settlers’ invasion and conquest of the New World. The work unveils their expansionist ambitions that evolved from territorial occupation to the shaping of English-style homesteads, the establishment of colonial order, and ultimately the comprehensive cultural, political, and economic domination achieved through tobacco cultivation. The botanical landscapes in Moore’s poetry are not natural formations but human-crafted historical inscriptions that symbolize the material foundations of colonization. Through empowering plants with narrative agency, Moore’s poem critically re-examines the complexities of colonial history, profoundly interrogates the hypocrisy and prejudice inherent in historical narratives, and exposes the historical roots of racial and class conflicts. This poetic approach provides a penetrating historical lens through which contemporary social issues may be understood.

马拉默德《新生活》中的风景书写与身份认同

刘海杰

内容提要：小说《新生活》中的三重风景书写深刻揭示了20世纪中期美国犹太人的身份协商与认同机制。西部自然风景将犹太徙居经验与美国边疆神话相结合，展现了主人公在自然风景启示下的自我重构。犹太爱恋叙事中，先知圣爱原型的再现实现了民族救赎精神的跨时空传承，形成了抵御“熔炉理念”同化冲击的身份防线。学院权力景观中，犹太自由主义政治理想对教条主义权力规训的挑战，演绎出美国自由主义身份重塑的实践。小说中多维风景与身份认同的内在关联，揭示了具有双重身份认同的作者在特定历史语境中，成功实现了犹太经验与普遍价值的互渗融合，彰显出其在战后生存境遇下与时俱进的身份观。

Title: Landscape Writing and Identity in Bernard Malamud’s A New Life

ABSTRACT: The three-dimensional landscape writing in A New Life offers a profound insight into the processes of identity negotiation and identity formation among mid-twentieth-century American Jews. In the natural landscape, the Jewish diaspora experience merges with the American frontier myth, showing the protagonist’s self-reconstruction with the inspiration of natural scenery. In the Jewish romantic ethos, the representation of the Biblical love archetype sustains the spirit of redemption across time, forming an identity barrier against the influence of the American melting-pot ideal. In the academic power landscape, the ideal of Jewish political liberalism challenges American social dogmatism, interpreting the re-shaping of the American identity. The inherent link between multidimensional landscape and identity indicates how Malamud, with his dual identity awareness, successfully integrates Jewish experience with universal values in a specific historical context, which reflects his evolving ideas of identity in the postwar era.

“接触 地带”视域下《安静的美国人》中的

民族身份反思

     周　梅

内容提要：格雷厄姆·格林在《安静的美国人》中将抗法战争中的越南构建为冷战初期跨帝国权力博弈的“接触地带”。主人公福勒的认知困境与身份裂隙，实为战后英帝国双重地缘政治困境的文学转喻：一方面，英国在介入美国东南亚冷战布局的过程中，暴露了其“硬实力”衰落后以政治怀旧补偿历史能动性的困厄；另一方面，美利坚帝国的强势扩张与法兰西帝国的实体性消亡形成双重镜像，昭示了传统“英国特性”这一帝国“软实力”在后帝国权力网络中遭遇的价值悬置。当殖民话语的互文性叙事与民族解放运动构成解构性对话时，小说揭示了后殖民语境中帝国幽灵祛魅的历史必然以及英国民族身份重构的范式转换。

Title: Reflections on National Identity in The Quiet American through the Lens of the “Contact Zone”

ABSTRACT: In The Quiet American, Graham Greene constructs Vietnam in the Anti-French Resistance period as a “contact zone” of trans-imperial power contestation within the early Cold War context. The protagonist Fowler’s cognitive dilemma and identity fracture serve as a literary metonymy for Britain’s postwar dual geopolitical crises: its involvement in US Cold War strategies in Southeast Asia exposes its quandary of substituting political nostalgia for historical agency following the diminution of its “hard power.”Meanwhile, the aggressive expansion of the American empire and the tangible dissolution of the French Empire form a dual mirror, highlighting the value suspension of traditional Englishness—the imperial “Soft power”—within the post-imperial network of power. When the intertextual narrative of colonial discourse engages in deconstructive dialogue with national liberation movements, the novel illuminates the historical inevitability of disenchanting imperial specters in postcolonial contexts, as well as the paradigmatic shift in reconstructing British national identity.
