【摘要】 伊恩·麦克尤恩是当代英国文坛最具影响力的作家之一,被誉为英国的“国民作家”。他的作品触及善恶、暴力、死亡等话题,反映现代人内在的种种不安、恐惧与人性的扭曲。独特的视角和洞察力让他获得“恐怖伊恩”的称号。自小说《时间中的孩子》出版以来,麦克尤恩的视角转向生态话题。2010年面世的《追日》不仅涉及诸如司法不公、学术腐败、现代传播业之荒诞效应等严肃主题,还关注当下最为热切的话题——全球变暖。小说以全球变暖和能源危机为背景,讲述了科学家迈克尔·彼尔德的太阳能研究和能源事业,时间贯穿彼尔德人生三个时间段,分别是2000年、2005年以及2010年。从彼尔德能源事业的开展以及人类与自然物质的互动中,麦克尤恩向读者展示出一幅人与非人自然交织在一起的复杂生态世界景象。本文旨在通过分析小说中非人自然的物质主体性,探讨作者对人类世生态危机的思考。本文在引言和结论之外,包含三章。首先,引言分析与概括了麦克尤恩及其作品,并简要介绍本文的理论基础和内容框架。第一章通过关注物的力量,分析作为物的食品对个体行为的影响,以及住所对个体身份的建构能力。类食品支持者所呈现出来的环境漠视,和脏乱住所中建构的缺乏责任感的科学家,加重了环境危机。第二章从物质建构话语现实出发,分析小说中人与非人自然、人与人以及有生命与无生命之间的身体界限的渗透,所产生的物质话语现实。第三章聚焦物质的叙事能力,分析小说中的城市景观和荒野景观,以及关于人类暴政和自然复仇的故事。结论概括全文,指出在环境危机的背景下,人类应该重新思考自身在地球上的正确位置。唯有重视环境中非人自然的重要性,承认非人物质的主体性,才能和非人物质一起创造可持续未来。更多还原

【Abstract】 Known as the “National Author” in the UK,Ian Mc Ewan is probably among the most influential in contemporary British literary arena.His works touch on topics like good and evil,violence,and death,which reflect the inner unease,fear,and distortion in human nature in modern society.His peculiar perspective and perception earn him a title“Ian Macabre”.Since the publication of the novel The Child in Time,Mc Ewan’s attention has shifted to ecological topics.Published in 2010,Solar involves not only serious topics such as miscarriage of justice,academic corruption,and the absurd effects of modern propaganda,but also the most pressing topic of the moment—global warming.Under the background of global warming and energy crisis,the novel tells a story of a scientist called Michael Beard and his solar energy research.The time in the novel runs through three periods of Beard’s life,namely 2000,2005,and 2010.From the development of Beard’s energy career and the interaction between humans and non-human nature,Mc Ewan shows his readers a complicated ecological scene where human beings and non-human nature are intertwined.The aim of this thesis is to explore the author’s reflections on the ecological crisis in the Anthropocene by way of analyzing the subjectivity of non-human nature in the novel.Apart from the introduction and conclusion,this thesis consists of three chapters.Introduction gives an overview of Ian Mc Ewan and the relative study,a brief introduction to the theory,and the structure of this thesis.The first chapter focuses on the power of things to examine the influence of food on individuals’ behavior and the ability of residence to construct the individual identity.The environmental denial by the alternative food supporter and the irresponsible scientist living in the messy room aggravate the environmental crisis.Chapter Two starts from the co-emergence of matter and meaning,and analyzes the material discursive reality produced by the penetration of the body boundary between human and human,and between human and non-human nature in the novel.The third chapter centers on the narrative of matters to analyze the story of human tyranny and nature’s revenge told by the landscape.Conclusion summarizes the discussion and argues that in the time of environmental crisis,humans need to rethink their proper place on Earth.Only by emphasizing the importance of non-human nature in the environment and acknowledging the subjectivity of matter,can humanity create a sustainable future together with non-human matters.更多还原
