Ecological Perspective Of Literary Studies In The New Century

The ecocriticism is an issue of universal concern in the current academic community, thanks to the promotion by eco-humanism concern,it takes ecological value orientation as preexisting in literary criticism to read text and re-construct.The ecocriticism with a more prosperous future provides a means of cutting into the study of literary in relation to nature .While being already prospering in the western, ecocriticism has already found its counterparts in China. While It focus on ecological literature scienc and ecological aesthetics,the ecocriticism practice also focus goals: foreign literature and classical literature.Thus, it is no doubt a great challenge for China's ecocriticism to analyse the changes of nature-views and ecological consciousness in literature of the New period according to the text.This attempt not only can broaden narrow text vision in this field just now(for example,based solely on not fanciful literature of the New period),but also can shrug off the present weaknesses of ignoring current texts in ecocriticism(concerned with reinterpreting foreign literature and classical literature, with a cavalier attitude toward the text of contemporary literature , or concerned only with eco-literature),the emphasis should be on re-reading canons of some important literature tendency and literature phenomena.As the preliminary practice in literature of the New Period, ecocriticism also has great research capabilities to analyze the relationships between mankind and nature ,between culture and nature, for example what flaw in "trauma literature" and "ntrospection literature" have to the natural performance, its initiates how being narrow-minded the humanitarianism also therefore does have?What development concept of indiscriminate means at the expense of the ecology contain behind the revolutionary spirit Reform Literature?How to deal with the relation between mankind and environment in war literature?Why the wilderness can surmount the region significance to become western china's poets 'spiritual home? why the authors of "Root-Searching Literature" only keep their eyes on depicting nature while track down the root of the national culture?How the authors who are skillful at land themes express yearning for returning to earth and poetic residence with the ecological crisis of anxiety?what secret relationship between the ecological crisis and the crisis of the spiritual ecology in metropolis novel?How does the new time literature about the subject of the forest and the wolf express the co-prosperity and co-existence ecology ethics relation between man and nature?How there be brand-new narration and expression about nature and woman in literature of the New Period through the perspective of ecofeminist criticism?This dissertation examines these questions one by one from the Perspective of ecocriticism,because of this,it not only can reveal the practical value of ecocriticism,but also give us an green access to research literature of the New period.This dissertation includes six parts: introduction, four chapters in main body and conclusion. The introduction describes the researching content, the researching significance, and the main means of study and so on.Chapter one briefly introduces changes of in which literature of the New period is the serious ecology crisis society background, the humanities background as well as the literature environment from a perspective of ecology.The second chapter's concentration is on the ecology thought which affects literature of the New Period, to analyze these thoughts as well as the the creation practice's influence on literature of the New period,separately from two Angles of the west and the tradition.Chapter three is concerned with the ecocritical research on the images of nature in the literary representation of nature.This chapter intends to discuss culture influence on the nature and on relationship between human and nature,to introspect cultural crisis.This chapter analyze and re-read some non-ecology works which attracted general attention since the new period, analyze non-ecology thoughts or the non-ecology value orientation in texts throught drawing on the strategy of western scholars' revision and reconstruction to the literary canon.These include "trauma literature" and "ntrospection literature", reform literature, metropolis novel as well as animal novel and so on. Chapter four intends to study the tradition of nature writing since the new period.
