中文摘要:《美食祈祷与恋爱》是伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特的一部自传式小说,出版于2006年。小说叙述了事业有成,家庭幸福的现代知识女性伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特在30岁以后,发现自己既不想要生育小孩,也不想继续婚姻生活后的自我救赎旅行。在结束令她疲累的婚姻生活后,作者在三个不同的国度里找寻自己——意大利,印度和巴厘岛。在意大利——旅行的第一站,作者尽情享用美食,摆脱疲惫婚姻,恢复身体健康与元气;在印度,通过祈祷,在远离物质世界的同时找寻自己的信仰。在巴厘岛,通过结交朋友,亲近自然,重新恢复对自己的自尊和自信,并且收获了爱情。基于生态女性主义理论,本论文将从人与自然的关系,女性与自然的关系这两方面来解析《美食祈祷与恋爱》。首先讲述21世纪以来生态环境恶化与现代女性的被压迫地位,然后论述生态环境的改善对于女性的积极影响作用,最后论述女性本身对于生态环境的正向作用。本论文将反映出作者在作品中表达的思想:人与生态应该达到和谐共处的平衡状态。全文凸显了在生态环境恶化的情况下女性的生活态度及个人发展问题,在生态意识逐渐被人们重视的当今社会,具有重大研究意义。
