摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 除了美国之外,中国或许拥有最多的学者正在从事生态批评（生态文学研究）和生态美学之类的研究。究其原因,或许是中国知识分子有阐述环境恶化问题的实际需要,也或许是中国古典哲学中、尤其是道家和儒家思想中拥有丰富的相关理念。目前,西方读者可以看到的中国生态批评的重要论著包括王宁为《文学与环境跨学科研究》2014年秋季刊组稿的一系列文章和鲁枢元《生态时代与中国传统的自然论》2017年英文版（此书最初以《陶渊明的幽灵》为名于2012年在中国出版）。中国年轻的生态批评家们越来越趋向于鉴别中国环境思想对西方（或全球）的环境和人文思想的影响,而不是关注西方思想对中国文化的影响。越来越多的英语版中国生态批评资料正在帮助中国提升该项学术研究的国际声望。我认为,这是中国为全球对话、积极承担克服全球范围内生态与人文问题的责任所做出的积极贡献。

Abstract: Aside from the United States, China may have the largest number of scholars currently working in the field of ecocriticism (ecological literary studies) and in related fields such as ecoaesthetics. Reasons for this may include the practical need for Chinese intellectuals to address issues of environmental degradation and also the rich traditions of relevant ideas in classical Chinese philosophy, especially in Daoist and Confucian thought. Some key publications in recent Chinese ecocriticism, available to Western readers, include the special cluster coordinated by Wang Ning, which appeared in the Autumn 2014 issue of ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, and the 2017 English edition of Lu Shuyuan's book, The Ecological Era and Classical Chinese Naturalism: A Case Study of Tao Yuanming, which originally appeared in Chinese as The Specter of Tao Yuanming in 2012. Increasingly, the tendency among younger Chinese ecocritics is to identify the influence of Chinese environmental thinking upon Western (or global) traditions of environmental and humanistic thinking rather than focusing on the influence of Western thought on Chinese culture. The growing availability of Chinese ecocriticism in English is helping to raise the profile of this scholarship for international audiences. I see this as a positive contribution to the global dialogue about human responsibility for overcoming ecological and humanitarian problems throughout the world.

Key words: Chinese ecocriticism, Daoist proto-ecological thinking, transnational dialogue, Tao Yuanming
