Title: | 烏托邦與生態想像(1/2) | Authors: | 張惠娟 | Keywords: | 烏托邦;生態論述;utopia;ecological discourse | Issue Date: | 31-Jul-2005 | Publisher: | 臺北市:國立臺灣大學外國語文學系暨研究所 | Abstract: | 本計畫研究當代烏托邦文學處理生態議題的多元面向, 探討三本七0 年代 攸關生態議題的烏托邦小說──1975 年克倫巴(Ernest Callenbach)的《生態 烏托邦》( Ecotopia),1976 年皮兒西(Marge Piercy)的《時間邊際的女子》( Woman on the Edge of Time),以及1979 年吉兒哈特(Sally Miller Gearhart)的《流 浪地》( The Wanderground),以剖析生態烏托邦的關懷、策略、與盲點,並比較 三本作品間立場和觀點的歧異。 七0 年代的烏托邦呈現對於生態議題的多元思考。克倫巴的《生態烏托邦》 為白種/中產階級男性生態運動的縮影,探究層面廣泛,舉凡社會架構/城鄉發展 /政治組織/工業/科技/醫藥等議題皆有涉獵。皮兒西的《時間邊際的女子》以及 吉兒哈特的《流浪地》則彰顯生態議題與女性主義觀點的互動,強調「壓迫自然」 與「壓迫女性」二大主軸的緊密關連。但皮兒西與吉兒哈特間亦有甚大歧異。吉 兒哈特的《流浪地》是一分離式的女性烏托邦,試圖建構一女性與自然親密對話 的另類空間,以顛覆父權架構。皮兒西則認為此等劃地自限的女性空間可能蹈入 「本質主義」(essentialism)的泥沼。其《時間邊際的女子》所勾勒的是一個 二性平等、階級泯滅、族群多元的烏托邦,鋪陳性別/族群/階級流動的可能性以 及性別/族群/階級議題和生態議題的互動。 This project attempts to explore ecological themes prevalent in many contemporary utopian texts. It studies three ecological utopias in the 1970s with an aim to uncovering their common concern and divergence, the strategies adopted, and possible blind spots. Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia (1975), Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time (1976), and Sally Miller Gearhart’s The Wanderground (1979) are the three texts under scrutiny. Ecological utopias in the 1970s are variegated. Callenbach’s Ecotopia articulates the 1970s environmental concern as filtered through the lens of a white middle-class patriarchy. Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time and Gearhart’s The Wanderground, on the other hand, pinpoint the interconnection of ecology and feminism, and bring into perspective the dual oppression of women and nature. Gearhart’s The Wanderground argues eloquently for an alternative construction of women’s space that subverts patriarchal designation of women and envisions intimate relationship between women and nature. Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time also articulates ecofeminist vision in its depiction of an alternative society that is free from gender stereotyping and attentive to environmental issues. Piercy’s work is simultaneously a covert comment on the essentialist trend in some ecofeminist philosophy: biological essentialism that envisions a narrow, biological linkage between women and nature and celebration of “women” at the expense of their intrinsic differences in terms of race and class. The egalitarian vision of a society of both men and women of diverse origin offered by Woman on the Edge of Time destabilizes woman/nature dualism, problematizes the celebration of “woman” per se, and provides a more viable picture than that offered by either Gearhart or Callenbach. |
