中文摘要:玛格丽特·阿特伍德有着“加拿大文学女王”之称,也是加拿大当代最负盛名的作家之一。其代表作《羚羊与秧鸡》以未来为背景,展示了一个科技高度发展但并不和谐的社会:人有分等,各种技术被滥用,物种被随意创造改变,无视人与自然、人与人之间的相互尊重,肆意破坏。有鉴于此,研究阿特伍德作品中的现实意义已成为一种新的研究趋势。本文将以伦理学为理论基础解读《羚羊与秧鸡》。首先,指出人与人的自然本性及人与非人的自然环境之间的矛盾,进而反思当今社会在发展进程中人与自然关系的处理方式;其次,分析人与人之间的各种异化:即被迫异化、自愿异化、不觉异化,呼吁人与人之间能够多一份伦理融入和责任。本文旨在敲响社会发展中伦理道德底线的警钟,呼吁人与自然、人与人之间能够和谐共处,进而希望能够唤起大众对社会发展中产生的一系列伦理问题的关注与思考。
